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.
