6 Setting Up the PDL High Power Base
The CHANNEL button is used to display and change the
channel. Press the CHANNEL button momentarily to display the
selected channel. To change the channel, press the CHANNEL
button once to light the display, and then again to change the
channel.
Use the CHANNEL button to select the “b” setting. With “b”
selected, the PDL HPB will be placed in AutoBase mode. This
mode selects the channel for transmission automatically.
Display
The seven-segment numeric display is used to indicate the
channel or mode selection. To conserve power, the display is
only lit for a short time following the pressing of the CHANNEL or
ON/OFF buttons. Channel selections range from Channel 0 to
Channel 15. Two digit channel numbers are displayed by
alternately flashing a 1 followed by the second digit.
The seven-segment display also has a decimal point to the lower
right of the number. The decimal point is lit to indicate that the
channel selection was done automatically with AutoRover or
AutoBase.
Indicator LEDs
The power LED has two purposes – first, to indicate that the unit
is powered, and second, to indicate the level of charge for the
power supply. The power LED will blink to indicate that the
base station battery is at or below 10 Volts and may require
charging.
