Turning the Transceiver On/Off
Basic Operation
4-3
Turning On The transceiver is powered by two AA alkaline batteries. To turn the transceiver
on, insert both batteries. When batteries are inserted:
1. All indicators illuminate briefly.
2. A sequence of sounds indicates the instrument is ready for use.
a. a single beep, indicating that the self test was passed.
b. a series of double beeps, indicating the transceiver is attempting to
establish contact with the Information Center.
c. cessation of sounds, indicating a successful association with the
Information Center.
d. If you hear any other sound sequence, either the device has failed the
automatic Self-Test (in which case you should use a replacement
device), or the device cannot establish contact with the Information
Center (check that a sector has been assigned to the device, and that
the device is within the coverage area).
Turning Off Turn off the transceiver by removing the batteries. A "No Signal" technical
alarm will be in effect at the Information Center until the device is reactivated or
until Standby is initiated.
The configuration data set by the service provider prior to transceiver use is
retained after battery removal.
