Transmitter Programming Instructions
Transmitter Configuration
To access the programmable options, press the [SETUP] button at the Ready screen. Then press the [*] or [#]
buttons to move through the list of options. When you come to an option you would like to change, press
[ENTER]. Depending on the option, you can either press the [*] and [#] keys to change the value of the option, or
you can type in the desired number value. To return to the main options menu press [ENTER]. When finished
making changes, simply press the [SEND] key to save the changes or the [CANCEL] key to discard your
changes.
Option 1: Transmitter Rollover Time
This is the time that each number in the transmitter memory shows on the LCD screen before rotating to the next
number.
NOTE: The transmitter rollover time is completely independent of the Visual-Pager® display rollover
time.
Option 2: Transmitter Auto-Delete Time
The time that a number remains on the Visual-Pager® display before it is automatically deleted.
NOTE: The Visual-Pager® display has an independent auto-delete time which is set following the
instructions in the Visual-Pager® display section.
The factory default for the Visual-Pager® display delete time is 42 minutes. The reason for having an auto delete
time in the display, as well as the transmitter, is best understood by the following example. At the end of the day,
a user may unplug the transmitter to turn it off. If there are numbers being shown on the display when the
transmitter is turned off, the numbers will remain on the Visual-Pager®
display until the display’s auto delete
removes them.
Option 3: Transmitter Entry Mode
Causes the transmitter to assume
“Enter” or “Delete” when a number is typed in.
Option 4: Display ID - Main Remote Display Address
The specific display identity (0001-9998) to which the transmitter will be broadcasting. Each display may have a
different address.
Option 5: Transmitter Base ID
The common base number (* see note below) for all transmitters and Visual-Pager® displays in a system. This
can be used to keep multiple systems separate. Typically changed in multiples of 100,000, changing this option
will require reprogramming all displays in your system.
Option 6: Transmitter Baud Rate
The communications rate common to displays and pagers. At 512 baud rate, a transmission takes 2.1 seconds.
At 1200 baud rate, a transmission takes 0.9 seconds. Changing this option will require reprogramming all units in
your system.
Option 7: Behavior (2-Digit or 3-Digit)
Allows users to toggle the setting of the transmitter for use with 2-digit or 3-digit Visual-Pager® displays.
* = The Base ID of a system can be thought of as a neighborhood with house addresses corresponding to pager
numbers.
