Testing Proposed Locations
Test your proposed transmitter, repeater and receiver locations to ensure
successful data transmission as follows:
1. Make sure your transmitter and receiver are in position and are operating
in test mode.
To place the Wireless Repeater in test mode, flip Repeater ID DIP switch #4
to “TEST” and then power the repeater. Refer to the figure on page 3.
Now, verify that the receiver is in test mode. Please refer to your receiver
manual to learn how to start the test mode.
In test mode, depending on your model, the transmitter either beeps or
flashes when it is transmitting and the receiver beeps or flashes whenever it
is receiving data from the transmitter (approximately every 2.5 seconds if
the signal is within range).
2. Place the repeater temporarily where you plan to mount it.
Don’t complete the installation, because you may need to move the
repeater.
3. Apply power to the repeater.
