Clear-Com WTR-670 - Manual (Page 44)

System Walk-Thru
Now that you have successfully “set-up” your Wireless Inter-
com System and turned on any auxiliary equipment, you are
ready to test the overall performance by “Walking” the system
through the areas in which you will be using it.
Before you begin your walk-thru, check the following:
❒
Beltpack Battery Check.
❒
Set microphone gain in both the beltpack(s) and the
base station.
❒
The base station and beltpack(s) are on the same group
and the beltpack(s) are on their own unique transmit
channels that match the base station receive channels
❒
Check that the talk button is engaged. The talk LED
will be illuminated.
❒
Intercom Level “IN” and “OUT” are set to an appro-
priate level.
❒
Auxiliary Level “IN” and “OUT” are set to an appro-
priate level (if used).
The “system walk-thru” can detect problem of weak signal
strength caused by:
•
Poor antenna location
•
Wrong antenna for receiver and/ or transmitter
•
RF “Trouble Spots”
•
Operating distance beyond system capability
•
Old or used batteries in the WTR-670
Under normal conditions the base station’s display will indicate
a beltpack status. “Weak Signal” condition will result in “no tx”
being displayed on the base station’s receiver for that beltpack.
In 99% of all instances you will set up your Wireless Intercom
System, walk it through the area of interest and achieve
error-free performance. If in the rare instance your system
does not “pass” during your walk-thru evaluation, refer to the
section of this manual which deals with System Trouble-
shooting.
