Transmitter Range Test (Survey Paging)
Survey paging is used to determine the range and area of coverage of
your system. An Transmitter Range Test (survey paging) will be
performed at the time of initial system installation. Survey Paging should
be conducted prior to first use of a transmitter added to a system, or
when a transmitter has been moved to a new care unit.
The transmitter is placed in Test Range Mode, and it will send frequent
pages from the transmitter to the assigned pager(s). Frequency of sent
pages and the total number of survey pages can be set according to the
procedure in Section 4: Programming, “Changing Survey Page
Configuration” of this manual.
As survey pages are sent, personnel with assigned pager(s) will walk
around the coverage area of the care unit to ensure that all pages are
received.

Because transmitters and pagers in one system operate on a single,
defined frequency, if you exchange pagers or transmitters from
different systems, you must change transmitter or pager system
configurations. Refer to Section 4: Programming, “Changing System
Configuration”.
To perform survey paging for a transmitter, transmitters should be turned
on, but not communicating with monitors. You will need at least one
transmitter and one pager.
To conduct a transmitter range test (survey paging):
1. Ensure that transmitter is connected to power and turned on, but
not communicating with a monitor.
2. On programmer, from SysMgr main screen, tap Service to enter
service program. Controls tab will be displayed.
3. To start survey paging, aim programmer infrared port directly at
