3.2.5 REGISTER REMOTE CONSOLES TO THE BASE STATIONS

Each console must be registered separately.

1. Turn off all consoles.

2. Turn on the power to all base stations.

3. Unscrew and remove the cover from the 

master 

base station.

4. Press the  

Mode button to turn on the remote console.

The screen will tell you to “Press the register switch on the

master base station”.

5. Press and release the registration button.  The green LED

will stay on. The red LED will flash to indicate the connection

is registering.

6. Registration is automatic. The screen will show that

the system is getting the network information and then

that the console has been successfully registered to the

base station. This could take up to 30 seconds.

7. Press the         Mode button to select OK. The console

will return to the set up screen ready to set up the

system functions.

8. If you have more than 1 console to register to the

base station repeat the steps above ensuring the

first console is turned off before you start.

9. When finished replace the lid on the base station.

3.2.6 TO TURN THE AA710 REMOTE CONSOLE OFF AFTER REGISTRATION

Press the left arrow to escape from Setup to 

the default start up screen.

Press the Mode button to display the menu.

Scroll to Off.

Select Off.

Note:

 The AA710 remote console automatically turns off after 5 minutes without use. 

 

 The 

Auto Off Time can be changed from between 4 to 20 minutes in the Setup menu. See 

page 23. 

If you have more than 1 console you must set the time for each console. 

3.2.4  TURN THE AA710 SYSTEM ON FOR THE FIRST TIME

Ensure the AA702 base station is powered up. 

Press the Mode button on the AA710 remote

console to turn it on.  Because the system

is not yet set up, the screen will tell you to press

the registration switch on the master base station.

See instructions below to register the console to

to the base station.
