Silent Call BWR412-SS - Manual (Page 3)

Programming
Your Communicator Receiver leaves the factory with the memory erased, so that you are able to program
your specific transmitters to your receiver. Each transmitter must be programmed separately.
(If you are using a smoke detector or fire transmitter with the Communicator you must program these
transmitters first or the supervision will not operate.)
On the rear of the Communicator Port is a programming button used to program Signature Series 418 MHz
transmitters to the Communicator Receiver. With the Communicator Port power switched on:

Press and hold the program button located at the back of the Communicator Port case. All six Icons will
illuminate on the Communicator receiver.

Hold the program button until the Icons goes out (about 5 seconds) and then the Green Phone Icon blinks
3 times.
 Release the program button and the Icon’s will come back on to indicate that the receiver is now in
program mode. It will remain in program mode for approximately 30 seconds then the Icons will go out
one at a time to indicate the program time remaining. While in program mode, the receiver will memorize
the code of the transmitter and then exit program mode.

While the receiver is in program mode, press the button on any 418 Mhz Silent Call corresponding type
transmitter. When the receiver receives the transmitted signal, it will memorize the code, exit program
mode and indicate the function of the transmitter. (Note, if ALL indicators flash 5 times it indicates that
this transmitter has already been stored. It is still stored, but lets you know it has already been saved into
memory).
Operation

When the Communicator receiver is in the Communicator port and detects a signal from a Silent Call 418
MHz transmitter with a matching coding system, it illuminates the corresponding LED icon and activates
the Communicator Port’s optional bed vibrator and/or strobe light.

The alert will continue for approximately 15 seconds after the transmitted signal ceases except in the case
of fire. As long as the Smoke Detector and/or Fire Alarm Transmitters continue to send an alert signal, the
Communicator receivers alerting mechanisms will remain on.

The Communicator has 6 different icon symbols as well as different colors for each signal to help identify
which type transmitted signal was sent; Sound, Phone, Door, Weather, CO and Fire.

During the day, take the Communicator Receiver out of the Communicator Port and clip it to your belt
using the provided leather pouch or place into your pocket.
Vibration Signals
The Communicator Receiver has a specially defined vibration for each type of alert signal received. (See Reference
Guide on Page 6)
Battery Backup Mode
In the event of a power failure, the Communicator Port will automatically enter into battery backup mode.
Note: Programmed transmitter codes are retained in memory even when the power is removed.
Last Alert Signal Recall Button
Pressing the button on the top side of the Communicator Receiver will recall the last alert signal. The receiver will
not vibrate but will light up the signal LED.
