transmitter to heat up. Damage to the transmitter may result if tested for long periods.

Bulk Install
The Bulk Install option is used to quickly and easily install Pager ID’s into the database. This

programmed to jump by a value of eight. (See the programming manual that came with the
coasters for more information on this)

code range is 0000008 – 2097151.

cap code installed cap code will jump by. In most cases this will be 1 or 8.

11. Press the key to move along to the Clear DB field. If [Y] is selected in this field,
the entire database will be cleared to make room for the bulk installed pagers. If [N]
is selected, the bulk installed pagers will be installed where there are free pager ID’s.
For example if there is currently Pager ID’s 1, 3 and 4 configured on the unit and
then 3 pagers are bulk installed into the unit - The bulk installed pagers will be set to
Pager ID’s 2, 5 and 6. Press the
key to move along to the confirmation screen
when ready.
