3. Setting up the SCOOP E-Z
3.1. Power
The unit can be powered by 6 type "C" or LR14 Alkaline cells.
Caution: OBSERVE THE CORRECT POLARITY WHEN INSERTING THE
BATTERIES.
A new set of batteries will last approximately 1 hour 30 in POTS mode. In ISDN mode,
the autonomy depends on the algorithm chosen. The green light, near the symbol battery
on the front panel, goes off and a red light appears when there is approximately 15
minutes of battery life remaining.
Given that it is not usually possible to know how far a given set of batteries has been
discharged before use, it is strongly recommended that you always use a new set of
batteries before a new broadcast, and remove and discard those batteries from the unit,
after a broadcast.
3.1.1. External DC supply
The Scoop E-Z will also work on any external 8 to 15-volts DC source. A typical source
will be a car cigarette adapter. Connect your DC power cord to the connector on the
back panel of the unit ( labeled DC In 8-15 V 2A), and connect the other end into your
DC power source.
Connector : Jack 3.5, Center : +, Circle : Ground
Warning: Polarities must be strictly observed to prevent damage to unit!
3.2. Connection to the ISDN
Connect the (RJ45) connector of the ISDN cable into the socket on the back panel
marked "ISDN", and connect the other end of the cable into the ISDN wall socket.
The ISDN modem of the scoop is a S/T or a U interface depending on the unit type.
You can select the correct ISDN protocol for a given country from the menu.
