Setting up the base unit (6xx* commands)
Once you have set up the Maxicom
2
computer to interact with the Freedom System, you are ready to set up the
Freedom System base unit. All the commands that are entered into the radio that control base unit operation are
know as 6xx* commands. The base unit beeps four times when it receives a 6xx* command. If you do not hear any
beeps, re-enter the command. If you still do not hear any beeps:
• Make sure the base unit is plugged into a 120 VAC power outlet.
• Make sure the radio is turned on.
• See the Troubleshooting section on pg. 25 for information on investigating possible problems with the radio’s
battery.
Begin setting up the base unit by putting it in the start-up mode (see the first command, below). You may later enter
additional base unit commands if you choose.
