Programming
Before starting programming, have a PC running MS-Windows © and the Tait PGM800Win software for
Series II Base station.
This program supports the use of a mouse but may be used without one if required. Keyboard access
follows the conventional MS-Windows © method as briefly described below:
-
Press and hold the “Alt” key while pressing at the same time the relevant hotkey as indicated by an
underlined letter on the menu command.
-
On a drop-down menu, press only the hotkey without pressing the “Alt” key.
-
Use the “Tab” key to cycle available fields and the “Enter” key to validate entries.
E.g. Pressing
“Alt”+F opens the File drop-down menu and pressing “A” opens the Save As directory service box.
Receiver VCO and front-end alignment will be required when new receiver frequency is programmed
outside the radio tuning range:
UHF =
±
2.5 MHz from previous center frequency.
VHF =
±
1.5 MHz from previous center frequency.
Exciter and PA alignment will be required when new transmitter frequency is programmed outside the
radio tuning range:
VHF & UHF=
±
4 MHz from previous center frequency.
1.
Connect the PC, via the supplied programming lead, to the speaker panel’s front-mounted RJ11 con-
nector.
