General Informaon
The following secon is provided to help you with quesons about your Commander Echo Wireless Funconal
Tesng System.
What happens if I take the instrument out of range during a test?
If the instrument is transming to the receiver when it moves out of range (beyond 3 meters),
communicaons for all acve instruments can be lost and the data cannot be retrieved. To re-establish
communicaons, move the instrument back within the transmission range and restart the test.
Can my Commander Echo receiver pick up signals from other devices like wireless phones or wireless
networks?
Wireless networks, cordless phones or other devices can potenally cause interference with your Commander
Echo System. As a precauon, we recommend that you minimize their usage within the transmission range
of your Commander Echo System. We have taken every precauon and tested to the highest standards to
ensure accurate data transmission with your System. The main reason for linking your Commander Echo
instruments with your Console is to reduce the potenal for unintenonal data transfer from other devices,
including other Commander Echo systems operang in the area. We have also incorporated state-of-the-art
methods, such as direct sequence spread spectrum, modulaon, and unique device idencaon to reduce
the possibility of miscommunicaon.
Is there any other type of interference I need to worry about?
As with any radio transmission, high-powered electromagnec devices should be avoided. For example, you
should not operate your system near microwave ovens or X-ray machines.
Can I block the signal during tesng?
Unlike infrared systems, Commander Echo is not based on line of sight, so standing between the instrument
and the receiver should not interfere with the signal, provided you are within the operaonal distance.
How do I know when the instrument’s baery is low?
The LED on the instrument will begin rapidly blinking Red instead of Blue when connected (see the
instrument LED codes on page 5). Addionally, there is a “low baery” indicator on the Console’s LCD
screen. If the LED is Rapidly blinking Red, this indicates that less than 20 minutes of baery power remains.
How long do instruments connue to operate aer the low power signal?
The amount of operaonal me for each instrument varies, but approximately 20 minutes. Like a cell phone,
the instrument uses more power when acve and sending data than when in the o power state. Our
recommendaon is to place the instrument on the charger as quickly as possible aer the low power signal
comes on.
