CAMPUS PAGER
4.2 Positioning the Antenna Ground Wire
For best transmission, fully extend the black antenna ground wire. Do not coil
this wire, as this will diminish the transmission efficiency.
4.3 Connecting Power to the Campus Pager
Plug the power cord into a standard AC outlet.
The Campus Pager does not operate when AC power fails, but it maintains
the system code in memory. (See
Section 4.6
.) Because the Campus Pager
maintains its memory through power failure, there is no need to reprogram
the unit when power is restored. The Campus Pager can maintain this code
for more than one year without power.
4.4 Installing/Replacing Pager Batteries
The individual pager is powered by two AAA batteries (not supplied). We
recommend that you use alkaline batteries to power the pager.
To install or replace the pager’s batteries, see
Figure 4-4
, and follow these
steps:
1. Slide the battery compartment door open.
2. Insert two fresh alkaline batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and -) marked inside the compartment.
3. Slide the battery compartment door closed.
