Purpose of the Keypad
The Reply® DL Model CRS10000 Keypad is a wireless portable device that makes it possible
for a number of people to participate interactively in a class situation or group meeting. The
product accomplishes this by sending keypad switch closure information from the keypad to a
base unit which employs a wireless transceiver to receive the keypad signal. These signals are
processed by the base unit and delivered to a host computer which allows the responses to be
stored, analyzed and if desired displayed on a video projector for feedback to the group
showing the results of their participation. As such, the product is very similar to another
Fleetwood product, the CRS1200. The Model CRS10000 adds to the Model CRS1200 by
incorporating an 800 MHz wireless microphone circuit that allows a participant at a remote
site to speak into the keypad and communicate with an instructor through a phone line
connection. This adds the dimension of allowing verbal interaction from a remote site with an
instructor.
Description of the Keypad
The Reply Model CRS10000 Keypad is housed in a plastic enclosure similar in appearance to
a calculator. It is powered by an internal 9 volt alkaline battery with no external wires or
electrical connections. The keypad uses a membrane switch panel for numeric entry and a 7
segment LED display for entry display to the user. The keypad uses a synthesized transceiver
compliant with FCC Part 15 Subpart B and C. An integrated microphone and talk request
button provide an audio function for use in multiple site applications. The wireless
microphone portion of the device is compliant with and approved under Part 74.
Using the Keypad
To use a Reply® DL Keypad, a corresponding channel Reply® DL base unit must be active
and under control of an application running on a local or remote host computer. This is
usually the responsibility a local facilitator in cooperation with host site staff in a distance
learning environment.
A program on a host site computer under control of the instructor or facilitator determines
when responses from the keypads are to be received and when control of the wireless
microphone in the keypads is required. Typically this program will deliver a number of
informational screens via satellite or other video transmission method on a video projection
system and then will present a question screen. The participants with keypads will then be
instructed to respond using the numeric keys on the keypad. A user holding a keypad responds
by pressing one of the keys and the corresponding number will indicate on the 7 segment LED
