1 INSTALLING THE TRANSMITTER
Figure 1: Connecting the Antenna and Locking Cover
1.1 CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
Connect the 90 degree antenna to the BNC
connector located at the side of the transmit-
ter. Slide the plastic cover over the connector,
engaging the two lugs into the corresponding
recesses in the side of the case. This will main-
tain the antenna in an upright position, which
is important for optimizing the range of the
transmitter (See Figure 1).
1.2 CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY
Connect the power supply to the power
socket located at the right-hand rear corner of
the base station (See Figure 2).
Plug the power supply into a convenient wall
socket and turn on the power. When the unit
is fi rst powered up, the system will display the
following screen for a few seconds:
DATAPAGE
LITE
Followed by:
PAGER: (1-9999).
>
The fl ashing cursor invites you to enter a
pager number (this can be any number between
1 and 9,999) after which you must press SEND
to transmit a page. See "OPERATION" (page
9) for further transmitting procedures.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Use only the power supply provided with
your system! The use of non-approved
power supplies will invalidate all war-
ranty and service. We also recommend
using a surge suppressor for protection.
Power surges are not covered under the
warranty.
1.3 PRECAUTIONS
Avoid mounting the transmitter in the im-
mediate vicinity of telephones, exchanges or
computer equipment. A few feet can make the
world of difference in avoiding interference
from the radio frequency generated by the
transmitter.
The performance of your system will be af-
fected by: foil backed wallboard, metal mesh,
wire-reinforced glass, metal sheeting, large
mirrors, suspended ceilings, elevator shafts,
etc. These can all refl ect and thereby reduce the
signaling capability of the transmitter. A little
forethought prior to installation, coupled with a
few tests, can normally avoid most problems.
