Getting Started
Before turning on the transmitter, ensure that the antenna is attached to

Survey Mode
The Survey Mode is a mode in which frequent periodic pages are sent
from the transmitter to the assigned pager(s). To begin the Survey
Mode, turn on the transmitter, as described above. The transmitter
should not be attached to any patient monitoring equipment as this point.
The LED on the front of the transmitter will be ORANGE to indicate that
the transmitter is attempting to establish communications with the patient
monitoring equipment. Press the button on the top of the transmitter,
and hold the button down for approximately 5 seconds. A numbered
“Survey Page” will be sent. Every 15 seconds, another “Survey Page”
will be sent. This will continue until one hundred pages have been sent.
To stop the survey mode before one hundred pages have been sent,
press the button on the top of the transmitter, and hold the button down
for approximately 5 seconds.
