1.1.2 Configuration Information
A helpful SETUP WIZARD, which will guide you through
the simple configuration (with parameter explanations), is
available in the PULSAR Model R86. Located in the local
user interface menu under MAIN MENU/WIZARD/
SETUP WIZARD, some key information is required for
configuration. The transmitter will prompt confirmation
questions at the end of the Setup Wizard to verify operation.
Gather the information and complete the following operat-
ing parameters table before beginning configuration.
NOTE: These configuration steps are not necessary if the transmitter
was pre-configured prior to shipment.
