Installing the Transmitter
The first consideration in the placement of the transmitter is convenience. It should be
readily accessible in a central location within the paging area. Pay close attention to nearby
obstructions such as walls, pipes, ducts, mirrored glass, or other similar barriers that may
weaken or misdirect transmitted signals. Certain materials and construction, especially metal,
have the potential to partially or completely block the paging signal.
The next consideration involves safety. Ensure the unit is securely mounted and away
from liquids, extreme heat and possible physical damage. Also remember that the
transmitting unit requires a 110V AC power outlet. Be sure an antenna is attached prior to
applying power to avoid damage to the transmitter.
For best results, the transmitter antenna must be vertical. Ideally the transmitter should
be centrally located within the area where paging is to occur. Since this is not always possible,
range testing at different locations may be required to obtain the desired performance.
Once the Desktop Transmitter and antenna have been installed, plug in the power adapter.
Once powered the transmitter will display
“Enter Pager’’
indicating it is ready to send a
page. We recommend some type of surge suppressor on the power supply for protection.
Power surges are not covered under system warranty.
