Once connected, the Master Radio should show a constant red light on the CD
LED (see Figure 3-1).
4. Remote Sites
The plastic enclosure containing the Slave Radio will be carried around to act
as the remote site (see Figure 4-1).
Before carrying the equipment to the remote sites, use the voltmeter to verify
that the battery is fully charged. If needed, recharge the battery via the wall
charger (see Figure 3-2).
LEDs on the slave radio indicate the quality of the connection (see Figure 4-1
and Table 4-1).
Try each antenna until you get an excellent connection. The Yagi antenna will
need to be aimed directly at the base station.
