Registration
During installation of the Wireless 6000 system, each Communicator was registered for
use with a specific base station. The base station thereby recognizes all registered
Communicators when their power is on, differentiating between them and interfering
transmissions from other electronic equipment operating on similar frequencies. If a
Communicator is replaced, the new one must be registered. A maximum of 15
Communicators can be registered.
When a Communicator is replaced, the old one remains in memory. If the maximum
number of 15 is exceeded, all current registrations must be cleared, and all active
Communicators must be re-registered. To clear all current registrations, press the
“Clear All Registration” button and the “Reset” button simultaneously. Refer to Figure 6
below. Continue holding the “Clear All Registration” button after releasing the “Reset”
button, until the clear code “c” (lower case) appears on the Communicator ID display.
All active Communicators can then be registered, one at a time.
Register each Communicator as follows:
•
Be certain all Communicators to be registered are powered off and the base station
power is on.
•
Open the base station and press the registration button shown in Figure 6.
⎯
If no Communicators are powered on, the status light shown in Figure 6 will be blinking
red. If any Communicators are powered on, the status light will be blinking green.
⎯
After you press the registration button, the Communicator ID display will show a
small “o” for open.
•
Press and hold the
B
button while pressing and releasing the
PWR
(power) button to
turn the Communicator on, then release the
B
button. This will cause the Communicator
to enter the registration mode.
⎯
The status light in the base station will be blinking green, and the Communicator ID
display will continue to show a small “o” for open.
⎯
The power lights next to the
A1
and
A2
buttons on the Communicator will be
blinking red then will change to green.
When the registration is successfully completed:
⎯
The green status light in the base station will be on steady and the Communicator
ID display, to the left of the status light, will show the ID number assigned to this
Communicator. ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A, b, C, d and E.
⎯
One of the power lights on the Communicator will remain on steady green.
