TIPS
Practice Triggering:
A finger tap to the outside of the transceiver will trigger the system. A data light on both the
transceiver and receiver confirm a successful transmission.
Position:
Do not position the transceiver on the hip of
the Starter or wear in a pocket. The body may attenuate (reduce) the signal.
Elevate:
Do not try to send a signal
through a crowd of people on the infield, etc. Elevate the receiver or transceiver if necessary. A longer audio cable
may be required (purchase from Eagle Eye or retailer such as Radio Shack, etc.). This would require operating in
Green mode only (see page 10).
Sensitivity:
The transmitter is set at 50% gain before shipment. If you believe an
increase in sensitivity is necessary for your facility, please contact Eagle Eye for details.
Test:
Be sure to test your
wireless start system for successful transmissions prior to each track meet. Pay special attention to the start
locations farthest from the receiver. Be sure to maintain a clear line of sight.

Some non Lenovo computers do not need the USB audio card since they are equipped with
a microphone and head phone jack separate from one another. Your non-Lenovo computer
may allow for the audio cable to be plugged directly into the audio jack without the use of the
USB audio adaptor card.
