Telex RadioCom BTR-500/600C - Manual (Page 33)

System Walk-Thru
Now that you have successfully “set up” your Telex
Wireless Intercom System and turned on any auxil-
iary equipment you are ready to test the overall per-
formance by “Walking” the Telex system through
the areas in which you will be using it.
Before you begin your walk-thru, check the follow-
ing:
❒
Beltpack Battery Check.
❒
Set microphone gain in both the beltpack and
the base station.
❒
Check that the push-to-talk switch is engaged
in the lock-to-talk position. LED will be illu-
minated.
❒
I/C Level “IN” and “OUT” are set to an ap-
propriate level and not turned to zero.
❒
Sidetone local and beltpack levels are set to
an appropriate level.
The “system walk-thru” can detect problems of
weak signal strength caused by:
· Poor antenna location
· Wrong antenna for receiver and/or transmitter.
· RF “Trouble Spots”
· Operating distance beyond system capability.
· Old or used batteries in the TR-500/600
Under normal conditions the indicator LED on the
base station’s beltpack should always be lit when
their beltpacks are transmitting. “Weak Signal” con-
ditions will result in flashing, or the complete loss
of this Carrier LED.
In 99% of all instances you will set up your Telex
Wireless Intercom System, walk it through and
achieve error-free performance. If in the rare in-
stance your Telex system does not “pass” during
your walk-thru evaluation, refer to the section of
this manual which deals with System Trouble-
shooting.
