Use the following diagram for an example of transmitter and repeater DIP switch settings
for each repeater in a daisy chain.

Verifying Repeater Communication with a Console

The console is configured the same way it is configured in a single repeater installation,
except that the repeater ID that is selected is the last repeater in the chain.
On the Console in Setup Mode Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs:
1. Select the transmitter ID transmitting through the repeater. If the station is not already

turned on with its station type selected, do so now. Turn the station on by pressing the
up arrow until “ON” displays on the screen. Change the station type by pressing
GRAPH until the correct station type displays.

Note: The way the repeater ID information is accessed depends on the firmware version available on the con-

sole. If the firmware is dated May 2005, the repeater ID is accessed by pressing WIND. If the firmware is
dated October 2005 or later, the repeater ID is accessed by pressing 2ND and WIND. Follow the instruc-
tions below based on your console’s firmware.

2. For consoles with May 2005 firmware, press WIND to turn the repeater function on

and to select a repeater ID. Pressing WIND sets the console to receive the signal from
a repeater instead of directly from a station. The first repeater ID displayed is
repeater A.
For consoles with October 2005 firmware or later, press 2ND and then press WIND to
enter Repeater Setup Mode and to select or deselect a repeater ID. Once the console is
in the Repeater Setup Mode, subsequent pressing of WIND continue to cycle through
the all the repeater IDs.

3. Press WIND repeatedly to cycle to the desired repeater ID or to turn off the repeater

ID in the right hand corner. When no repeater ID is shown, the console is configured
to listen directly to a station and not to a repeater.

Note: If a transmitter ID is turned off, pressing WIND or 2ND and WIND will not display the repeater ID.
