1.3 THE TRANSMITTER STATUS INDICATORS.
When the transmitter is on, one of the 12 cue indicators will flash to indicate the
transmitter mode (armed state), current cue number, current channel number,
selected automatic firing rate, and battery level.
1.3.1 SAFE MODE INDICATION.
The current cue number (next cue to be fired) is flashed with a green
color on the numeric keys when in this mode. The number of green
flashes per burst indicates the battery level as described in section 1.3.4
below. A separate orange flash indicates the current channel number. No
firing commands can be transmitted in this mode.
1.3.2 SINGLE-SHOT MODE INDICATION.
The current cue number (next cue to be fired) is flashed with a red color
on the numeric keys when in this mode. The number of red flashes per
burst indicates the battery level as described in section 1.3.4 below. A
separate orange flash indicates the current channel number. A single cue
is fired with each button press in this mode.
1.3.3 AUTO-FIRE MODE INDICATION.
In this mode the current cue number (next cue to be fired) is flashed with
a red color on the numeric keys continually at the selected firing rate, and
no orange channel indication flash or battery level indication occurs. Fire
commands will be transmitted in machine-gun fashion while the “Next
Fire” button is depressed.
1.3.4 BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION.
If not in AUTO-FIRE mode, the current cue number flashes in bursts of
red or green, depending on whether the transmitter is in SINGLE-SHOT
or SAFE mode, repeating once per second. The bursts indicate whether
the battery voltage is adequate by including one, two, three, or four
flashes. If fewer than two flashes per burst are occurring, the batteries
must be replaced before the transmitter can be used reliably. Four
flashes per burst indicate that the batteries have full capacity, three
flashes indicate that their capacity is beginning to diminish, and two
flashes indicate that they are near the end of their useful lifetime in which
case they should be replaced immediately after the current use.
Adequate transmitter output to achieve the specified range will occur as
long as the total series battery voltage is above approximately 2.0 volts,
but the battery voltages will drop rapidly at this point.
1.3.5 CHANNEL CHANGE MODE INDICATION.
The current cue number lights continuously while in channel-change
mode (after momentarily pressing the Pwr / Rst button). Pressing “Pwr /
Rst” again or a numeric button while in this mode will switch the
transmitter as described in section 1.2.
1.3.6 TRANSMISSION INDICATION.
The current cue number also serves as a transmit indicator in single shot
mode by lighting continuously red while transmission is occurring.
