SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The Model 16 Alphanumeric Paging Terminal has many features that will not
be applicable to every paging system into which it will be installed. This
manual covers all of those features but it may not be necessary for you to
read all of the manual. The following lists will guide you to the Sections
that are relevant to your application needs and interests.
To the Installation Technician:
1. Turn directly to "Section 6 - Installation" which describes all the
connections that will be necessary and the initial adjustments that will
interface the Model 16 to the paging system.
2. You will need to refer to "Section 4A - System Programming" for the
specific details on programming the Transmitter configuration values.
3. A complete set of schematics and parts lists are contained in
"Section 7. - Repair".
4. A variety of miscellaneous information is available in "Section 8. -
Quick Reference". Look here if you still have a question not answered
by one of the chapters listed above.
To the System Operator:
1. Most importantly, you should read "Section 3. - Basic Operation."
This will give you an overview of what the Model 16 can do.
2. Now that you know what the Model 16 can do (and should do) you are
ready to tackle "Section 4. - Programming". This will probably be the
most time consuming step, but it need not be the most difficult!
3. The material in "Section 5. - Data Protocol" describes the method for
data transfer between the Model 16 and a data entry device or computer.
This chapter is required reading only for system operators who are
interfacing their own computer software to control the Model 16.
4. Hopefully you will never need to look in "Section 7. - Repair", but
if a problem arises, that's where you should look for a quick
troubleshooting guide and a complete set of schematic diagrams.
5. The material in "Section 8. - Quick Reference" includes some general
information. If you don't find the answer elsewhere in the manual, it
may be here.
