Note: You may need to repeat Step 4 once or twice to get a reading. Many factors can
either cause interference, and if you move the nozzle off of the radio before the operation is
completed the SmartReader may not correctly communicate with the SmartTransmitter.

Once the configuration is pulled from the
Smart
Transmitter, they can now be edited. To edit
each parameter, use the up-arrow and down-arrow keys to highlight each field and press the
Enter key. Choose the parameter to be set using the up-arrow and down-arrow keys and press
the Enter key. You will notice that the “Current:” option at the top of the screen (for most
parameters) will change to the option that was selected. Press the Exit key
once to return to the
“MARS RADIO SET-UP” screen. You may program all parameters at one time. Proceed to Step 6
when all relevant parameters are set. On the next page is an explanation of each parameter,
and the available choices.

Once each parameter is programmed to your specification, press the F6 key on the
Smart
Reader
and hold the nozzle of the
Smart
Reader against the
Smart
Transmitter as outlined in this
section’s Overview. Press the Enter key or pull the trigger. This will send each changed
command to the
Smart
Transmitter.
Note: Many factors can either cause interference, and if you move the nozzle off of the radio
before the operation is completed the SmartReader may not correctly communicate with the
SmartTransmitter.
7.
After programming, confirm the changed settings are correct by repeating the F1 function
completed in Step 4. Remember, a successful read tone is the escalating tone, whereas the
unsuccessful tone is the low, flat tone.
8.
When the correct settings are confirmed in the device, press the F2 key from the “MARS RADIO
SET-UP” menu. Hold the nozzle of the
Smart
Reader against the
Smart
Transmitter as outlined in
this section’s Overview. Press the Enter key or pull the trigger. This will force an interrogation
of the register, and will check the connection. This is the last function that will need to be done
to program a
Smart
Transmitter.
Note: You may need to repeat Step 8 once or twice to get a reading. Many factors can
either cause interference, and if you move the nozzle off of the radio before the operation is
completed the SmartReader may not correctly communicate with the SmartTransmitter.
