b. Locate any areas where one of the numbered pages is
not received on the pager. That is an indication of an

c. If any suspected areas of no reception are found, walk

5. Repeat steps #1 and #4 with another transmitter at another
furthest extent of the care unit.
6. Make sure both transmitters are sending survey pages at 20-

both transmitters at the same time.
7. Verify that each transmitter can detect the transmission from the
