General Information and Warnings
Listed below are some warnings and general information about the
RAD:
Wireless communication does not take place while using or
viewing the RAD’s menu system. Exit any of the menus before
trying to access a lockbox key compartment.
If the cellular service is poor, it is possible for the RAD to drop
its connection and display an error. The RAD will automatically
try to `connect to a cellular service every 15 minutes. Access
logs and other information will not be sent until the RAD has a
valid cellular connection.
The RAD does not have an audible or other notification when
connected with the lockbox. The communication does not occur
until the keypad on the lockbox is activated. This is necessary to
conserve battery power on the RAD.
The battery life on the RAD is approximately 1-2 weeks. This
will vary depending upon usage. To charge the RAD, use the car
charger or the USB charger provided with the RAD. For optimal
usage, do not use the RAD in temperatures below -4 degrees
Fahrenheit or above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not
recommended to leave the RAD in direct sunlight, in a closed
car.
The RAD uses cellular service to communicate with the
REALTOR® Lockbox Web Site
. GSM Cellular Networks, such as
AT&T and T-Mobile provide the cellular service. To find more
information about activating the RAD, see the section on when
the
RAD is activated
on page 3. When the RAD is activated, it
initiates the cellular service setup.
