    Plan out your message. Make sure the Control Lock Key is inserted in the Control Lock located on the back of the Transmitter. Make sure the Two-Part Message Switch located on the back panel is switched to the Part 1 Message position.

  • Page 6: Choosing The Best Frequency

    You must faithfully execute an Outdoor Frequency Test which is described in detail on the next page. The Transmitter can be set to any available AM frequency using the up & down buttons on the front panel. There are 117 choices. We have found that it is best to start at 1700 and go down because there are only a few commercial stations assigned to frequencies between 1600 and 1700.
  • Page 7 Be sure not to let the Transmitter fall out of the window. (Perhaps close the window on the Transmitter to hold it in place.) You are doing this to get the antenna wire completely outside the house in order to eliminate the interference from the construction materials of the house itself.

  • Page 8: Best Placement Inside A Location

    The garage is often a good alternative, too, if you put it high up on a shelf. Because of the problems with glass, never put a Transmitter directly in front of a window. You’ll want to choose a location where the basic antenna will remain undisturbed as it should not be moved or touched after it is positioned.

    SEtting up the YARD signs The Talking House yard sign tells people to “tune in”. Without proper placement of the sign, listeners won’t know you have a message to be heard and all of your efforts will have been wasted.

    5 If the problem still occurs, unplug the unit, grab hold of the tip of the antenna wire and roll it up around your hand. As you get closer to the transmitter and run out of room, place the antenna down in an area next to the transmitter.
