high as possible above
the floor and well away from metal chimneys, large metal
cabinets, metal doors and reinforced concrete walls, all of
which may reduce the communication range.

electrical outlet.

4.3 Adding Devices
Devices whose message transmissions need to be repeated by
the repeater must be enrolled both to the repeater and to the
control panel. A total of 50 devices may be enrolled to the MCX-
610. Follow the instructions below for enrolling a device.
A.
Remove the MCX-610 cover.
B.
Press the repeater’s enroll button and release it (see Figure
2); the orange LED blinks for 10 sec.
Note:
Do not press the enroll button for longer than 3 sec.
C.
Initiate transmission from the device to be enrolled within 10
seconds. In response, the green LED will light and a "happy"
beep will sound to indicate successful enrollment of the device.
Note:
For enrollment verification, the blue LED will blink when
the device is activated.
D.
Repeat steps A to C for enrolling additional devices.
Notes:
i) If the device was already enrolled in the MCX-610 and
the enroll procedure is performed again for the same
device to the same MCX-610, the red LED will light and
a "sad" failure beep will sound.
ii) In the event that enrollment is performed after 50 devices
have already been enrolled, the green LED does not light
and a "sad" failure beep will sound.
iii) If no transmission has been initiated for more than 10
seconds, the orange LED will extinguish and a double beep
will sound.
iv) Device enrollment cannot be used to link repeaters.
