Caution
If the Base Radio is not energized for more than
30 minutes, the Field Units should also be turned
off to preserve battery life. Leaving the Field
Units on when the Base Radio is not energized or
out of range will cause the Field Units to transmit
very frequently and drastically reduces their bat-
tery life.
If you are not receiving a "COMM OK"
message on the Base Radio check the
following:
Is the Base Radio set to the above
listed configurations?
Are all the Transmitters on?
Are the Transmitters set to the
matching configurations? (See Sec-
tion 5 of Transmitter and Base Ra-
dio User Manuals)
Are the Base Radio and Transmit-
ters unable to communicate due to
obstructions or distance?
