Rev D – 4 / 18 / 2011
Operation
When the BTR-240 is turned on, the backlight
of the LCD and menu buttons will illuminate to
indicate power. The unit takes approximately
25 seconds to boot and its status is indicated
with a progress bar on the LCD.
After the unit has booted successfully, the Start-
up screen displays the unit model and software
versions for approximately 3 seconds.
The Status Screen is the main information
screen of the base station. It displays the current
status of the system including:
• RF Channel of operation
• Association (how many full-duplex
beltpacks are associated with the base
station)
• 2W / 4W intercom settings
• Auxiliary input / output settings
• Speaker setting indicator
Once the Status Screen is displayed, it is ready
to act as an access point and TR-240 beltpacks
can be turned on. Once the TR-240 beltpacks
are on in “wireless” mode, they will associate
with the RF channel selected at the base station.
1 Setting the RF Channel
The RF channel can be changed by two different
methods:
• Manual RF Channel Selection
• ClearScan
™
NOTE: The RF channel of operation setting is
remembered and the unit will continue to boot
on the same channel until it is set differently by
the user.
NOTE: The RF channel of operation needs to
be verified / set before turning on the TR-240
beltpacks. If a beltpack is already associated
with a base station, it may not continue to
associate once the channel is changed. If this
occurs, the beltpack will need to be rebooted.
1.1 Manual RF Channel Selection
To manually select an RF channel, navigate to
the “RF Channel” menu item and press the
<Set> button.
The current RF channel will be blinking
indicating that the channel is in “set” mode and
ready to be changed.
Using the <Up> and <Down> buttons, the RF
channel is increased and decreased,
respectively.
Once the desired RF channel has been identified
and blinking, pressing the <Set> button will
select it and save the settings. Once the channel
is set, the display will stop blinking and the user
can either press <Set> again to re-enter “set”
mode and change it, or press <Menu> to go
back a menu screen.
After navigating back to the Status Screen, the
new current RF channel of operation is
indicated.
