Base Station Initialization
For multiple HME Base Stations to operate without interference, they must be properly initialized before
performing any other setups. After initializing each Base Station, register each COMMUNICATOR
®
that
will be used with that base according to the procedures on pages 13 – 20.
NOTE:
Base stations must be set up for split-band operation prior to initialization.
(See Interference Avoidance on page 10.)

Turn the primary Base Station power on. Register any Communicators to be used with the primary
Base Station (See pages 13 – 20). Turn each Communicator off after registering it.

To assign a number to a secondary Base Station and initialize it, press the

the desired number appears, stop pressing and wait. While the secondary base initializes using the
displayed number, the
STATUS
display will continue showing the secondary number selected. When
initialization of the secondary Base Station is finished, the display will show one bar, to indicate the
secondary has initialized to the primary.
