Chapter-1: Pre-Installation
Even though we believe the Omnia-6EX is the easiest processor to install in its class, please take a few minutes to
read through this chapter before proceeding with the installation. This section offers common procedures for
installing your new Omnia-6EX processor. Note that there are additional installation and operation tips presented in
Chapter 4 that may pertain to your specific installation.

About This Manual

This manual is written to cover both the Omnia-6FM and the Omnia-6EX running software release version 6.2.0 or
higher. If the optional HDFM features on your unit are not activated, simply disregard the sections that specifically
cover HDFM channel features (such as the Look Ahead Limiter). These will be noted in parentheses after the
section heading: (HD Mode Only). Similarly, sections that specifically cover conventional FM channel features will
also be noted in parentheses after the section heading: (FM Mode Only)
If you would like to purchase and activate the HDFM features in your Omnia-6FM unit, please contact your dealer
or Telos / Omnia Customer support for instructions and the proper enabling code for your unit.
Omnia-6EX Components
By now, you've unpacked the shipping carton to gain access to this manual. Now is the time to inspect the Omnia-
6EXunit and its shipping carton for any signs of shipping damage, which must be reported to your carrier for any
claims. The Omnia-6EX shipping box includes the following components:
Omnia-6EX processor (containing the DSP hardware)
Omnia-6EX PCMCIA Type Memory card (holding the DSP software)
Omnia-6EX Operating Manual (this document)
Warranty Registration Card (Please complete the form and return/FAX it to Telos/Omnia)
Two IEC Power Cords, one for use in the US, and one for use in Europe
PC Card & Optional Modem Installation
Before installing your Omnia-6EX, or even plugging in the power cord, make sure the Omnia-6EX PC Memory
Card and Optional Modem Card (if purchased) are installed into the correct card slots on the back panel and are
fully seated. Installation or removal must be done with the power off unless directed otherwise.
The PC Memory Card is inserted into the top card slot with the Omnia label facing up and the version number
sticker facing down. The Optional Modem Card is inserted into the bottom card slot below the Omnia PC Card.
Both the PC Card and the Modem Card are keyed to prevent improper insertion. Gently press the cards into the slots
until the black release button, to the right of the card, pops out about 1/2" [12.70 mm]. This indicates the card is
properly seated in the PCMCIA slot.
