EXERCISE MENU
Normally the exercise time is set on the gen-
erator control board as it powers up. If an
exercise time has not been set on the control
board, all it’s LED’s will flash and an alarm will be set
on the wireless display – “EXERCISE TIME NOT
SET”.
The exercise page of the wireless display can be used
to overwrite any exercise time set in the generator.
Use the arrow keys and follow the on-screen instruc-
tions to set the time and day. The wireless display cal-
culates the difference in time from the exercise date
and time to the current date and time, and down-
loads this to the generator. This means you MUST set
the correct date and time on the display. The exercise
cycle is repeated at the same time weekly and does
not use the wireless system to do this, all the timing
is in the generator. If you ever remove power from the
generator, you will need to re-set the exercise time
when you re-set the radio (see the reset radio com-
mand in the radio menu section).
RADIO MENU
The following list of options will be presented:
Radio information
Change Channel
Reset Radio
Add New Display
Test Radio Link
RADIO INFORMATION
This selection shows statistics about the radio link.
There are displays of signal strength and signal qual-
ity as percentages, as well as an indication of the
current system channel. For ease of use, the display
will NOT revert to the status/alarm screen after one
minute if no keys are pressed.
If the signal strength is poor, re-locate the display to
somewhere with a higher signal strength. Unplug the
wall adapter and walk around while observing the
signal strength. Mount the unit at a point where the
signal strength is at a high level (not necessarily the
highest level). The transceiver at the generator end
can then be relocated. The best position for this is as
high up as possible away from any structures.
If the signal quality is low but the signal strength is
good, there may be some interference. See the section
on "Changing Channels".

CHANGING CHANNELS
Channel selection is normally automatic, manually
changing channels should only need to be done if
experiencing interference from other equipment. This
can be identified by looking at the signal strength and
the signal quality. If the signal strength is good but
the quality is not, there may be some interference.
Changing channels on the main display will auto-
matically change the channel on the generator end
provided a link has been established. If the “change
channel” message fails for any reason, the units will
revert to their old channel selection. A new channel
setting will be remembered for the next time the unit
is powered up. To change channels on an established
and working link, simply select “Change Channel”
from the Radio menu, then enter a new channel
number.
Changing the channel number on a link that is not
established is a little more complex, the only reason
this may need to be done is if a link cannot be estab-
lish because the default channel is noisy. To perform
this task, follow these instructions:
1. Remove power from the generator end of the link.
Power up the display.
2. Go to the radio menu and select “Reset radio”.
This will try and establish a link but it will fail,
the process will take about one minute.
3. Go to the “Change Channel” menu and select a
new channel.
4. Go back and select the “Reset Radio” command
and immediately turn on the generator end of the
link.
5. The radio link should establish itself on the chan-
nel selected. This will be remembered even when
the power is turned off to the display.
If the unit is a secondary display, no checking is done
to ensure the channel matches the current system
channel. Set the channel to the current system chan-
nel. Look on the main display and select the radio
menu, then select “Radio Information”. This will tell
you the current channel that is being used.
RESET RADIO
Normally the system will set itself up out of the box,
however if you have to replace either of the transceiv-
ers ( the display or the generator end), or if power is
ever lost to the generator end (such as a flat genera-
tor battery) you will need to re-train the system and
re-set the exercise time. You will NOT have to re-train
the system if the battery in the display goes flat, the
system will remember the radio settings.
If communications are totally lost for an unexplained
reason, you may want to perform a new radio setup.
1. Carry the display to a point near the generator
and turn it on. Go to the radio menu.
