Transmitter Selection
For the receiver to detect the signal from the transmitter, the receiver and transmitter must have matching
regional designation numbers, as discussed earlier. The receiver must also be programmed to detect the
transmitter being used and must be calibrated to that transmitter. Complete instructions for calibration are
provided in the System Setup section.
The main transmitter selection menu provides options for each type of transmitter available for use with
the F5 system. If there is more than one option for a selection, a secondary menu will appear.
Main Transmitter Selection Menu
The available menu options for each transmitter model are listed in the table below. For dual-frequency
transmitters, the menu option icon shows the required orientation of the transmitter (pointing up or down)
during battery insertion to power up the transmitter in the correct mode, as discussed above under
“Installing Batteries / Power On.”
