INSTALLATION
OPERATION
You should have received:
Base unit & pedestal
Mounting hardware for base unit pedestal
Base keypad, cable and wall supply
Charger stand/s & wall supply
Pager/s
The base unit should be placed indoors where free line of sight will be
obtainable for pagers. The base antenna should be oriented in a vertical
position, as high as possible in the room. The base keypad can be
placed where convenient. Placing the base near a telephone wall jack
would be desirable as The InfoCube obtains presentation and software
updates over a phone line.
1.
Mount the base unit and pedestal in a location described above.
2.
Plug the numeric keypad cable into the base DB-9 connector.
(The DB-25 connector is used with the modem option only.)
3.
Plug the base wall transformer into an AC outlet.
4.
Place the charging stand in a location close to the base.
5.
Plug the charger stand wall transformer into an outlet that is left on
all the time.
6.
Each pager must be turned on as the pagers you received have been
turned off for shipping. After turning on the pagers they should be
placed on the charging stand for a 10-14 hour period before use.
To turn the pager on
, a normal round toothpick will be required.
Break off the small tip of one end of the toothpick so a stronger end is
made. Insert the broken end of the toothpick into the left side of the
small slit located on the top of the pager. Slide the toothpick towards
the center of The InfoCube. This will turn the pager on. The LCD will
light when the base is turned on.
To charge a pager,
slide the pager into one of the charger stand
compartments. The pager will only charge when it is oriented correctly
in the charger compartment. Align the pager so the buttons are towards
the right and the display is towards the left.
The green light on the
pager will illuminate when it has been correctly positioned in the
charger compartment.
The pagers should be left in the charging stand
when not being used. Each pager will automatically charge and shut off
when done.
The base unit will turn off its display when it has not been used for
several hours to conserve energy. The base unit senses keypad input
and pager activity to determine if it’s not being used. Touch any button
on the numeric keypad to turn on the base unit display back on.
To use a pager,
take the pager off the charger stand, record the pager
ID that is shown on the display (located in upper right hand corner).
Then hand the pager to the patron.
The base unit will recognize that the pager has left the charger and list
the pager ID on its display (allow up to 30 seconds for this to be
displayed). The pager listing does not need to show up before it is
given to the patron. The display is just for informative purposes and
does not limit the ability to immediately page a patron when removed
from the charger stand. When a pager is returned to the charger stand
it’s automatically removed from the base unit display (allow up to 30
seconds for this to occur).
The base can show 20 pager IDs on the display at a time. The
“
Scroll Disp
” key is used to scroll the display when more than 20
pagers have been handed out. The display does not need to show a
pager ID for the patron to be paged.
Out-of-Range notification features:
When a pager is taken too far from the base three different notifications
will be shown. The first two will politely request the pager be taken
closer to the base unit. The third notification will include loud sounds
and/or vibration. When the pager is brought closer to the base unit,
notifications will stop.
The pagers will automatically notify the patron if the battery gets too
low during use. The pager will request to be returned to the
receptionist.
