Base Station Initialization

For multiple HME Base Stations to operate without interference, they must be properly initialized before
performing any other setups. After initializing each Base Station, register each COMMUNICATOR

that

will be used with that base according to the procedures on pages 13 – 20.
NOTE: Base stations must be set up for split-band operation prior to initialization.

(See Interference Avoidance on page 10.)

• Turn the primary Base Station power on. Register any Communicators to be used with the primary

Base Station (See pages 13 – 20). Turn each Communicator off after registering it.

• Power on one secondary Base Station. The STATUS display will show a double bar, indicating the

secondary base is ready to be initialized.

• Press the REG button on the primary base. The STATUS display will show a small “o.”
• To assign a number to a secondary Base Station and initialize it, press the REG button on the

secondary base. Pressing the button repeatedly causes it to cycle through the numbers 1, 2, and 3. When
the desired number appears, stop pressing and wait. While the secondary base initializes using the
displayed number, the STATUS display will continue showing the secondary number selected. When
initialization of the secondary Base Station is finished, the display will show one bar, to indicate the
secondary has initialized to the primary.

• Press the REG button on the primary. The STATUS display will go blank.
• Register Communicators to the secondary (See pages 13 – 20). After registration, turn off the

secondary base and all Communicators.
