transmission Range:
Transmission range refers to the distance a Silent Call Transmitter can communicate with the
Sidekick II Receiver. Range is measured in an outdoor environment without obstructions from
metal objects or buildings. The range for the Sidekick II Receiver is up to 500 feet. The actual range
inside a building will vary depending on many factors outside of one’s control.
Cancelling An Incoming Alert
To cancel an alert, press and release the mode button once.
Programming the transmitters:
All Silent Call 318 MHz Transmitters come pre-programmed at the factory. You do NOT need this
step unless you need to change the address due to someone in your area that has Silent Call prod-
ucts and they are interfering with your equipment.
1. Make sure that all Silent Call transmitters in the area are turned off.
2. Perform the ALL ERASE function (see pg 9)
3. Select the transmitter you wish to program with the Sidekick II Receiver.
4. Located on the back of the transmitter case is a removable access panel. Remove the access
panel and take out the batteries.
5. Locate the switch on the transmitter circuit board that has 5 small dip switches. Set the switches
to any combination that you want. For Example: 1,2 On 3,4,5 OFF. (Do not set the switches to
all ON or all OFF as this can cause interference). This gives your transmitter an “address”. Note
that you MUST remove the batteries first or the switch setting will not take effect.
6. Reinstall batteries and replace the access panel.
7. Make sure that the transmitter is near the Sidekick II Receiver.
8. On the Sidekick II Receiver, press and release the MODE pushbutton until the Yellow LED
lights up and “PPP” is displayed on the screen. This means you are now in program mode.
9. Press the test button on the transmitter so that it sends a signal to the Sidekick II Receiver. The
unit will flash its strobe, turn on the appropriate LED and display Icon for the transmitter that
you used. Your transmitter is now programmed to work with your receiver.
