TIPS AND TECHNIQUES FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
Antenna
Antenna placement is critical for good performance. Range and
coverage is directly proportional to the height of the transmitting
and receiving antennas. Where possible, select a reference
station location that takes advantage of terrain to get the
transmitting antenna as high as possible.
Always use the telescoping antenna mast, and raise the antenna
as high as is practical and safe, given terrain and wind
conditions.
Power Supplies
Maintain batteries in a fully charged state. Both the PDL Base
and internal PDL Rover batteries will live longer if not allowed to
become completely discharged. We recommend routinely
connecting both the base and rover PDLs to their chargers on a
nightly basis. This will assure optimal performance and long
battery life.
How to Use AutoRover™
AutoRover is a feature that allows the PDL Rover to
automatically synchronize to the PDL Base. Enable this feature
by pressing the CHANNEL button until an "r" is displayed. After
selecting "r", you will note that the display will flash each
programmed channel for approximately 3 seconds, until a base
station broadcast is encountered. The PDL Rover will continue
to scan until a broadcast is found.
