should correspond in time although they may not be exactly
simultaneous.)
An amber LED that does not correspond to a survey page from the
first transmitter may indicate interference.
If the second transmitter does not detect the first transmitter’s pages,
the test fails. It is possible for the pager to receive the page but the
second transmitter does not detect the page from the first
transmitter. This is still a failure.
8. If areas of no reception are not discovered and the transmitters
can detect each other’s transmissions, the range test is
complete.
9. If the extents of the coverage exceed the care unit, only the care
unit’s physical limits will be supported by Data Critical.
10. Communicate the extents of tested coverage and any detected
areas of no reception to the clinical staff both verbally and in
written form.
Programmer Set Up
The purpose of this activity is to set up the programmer with the
specific room numbers in the care unit and add the pagers that will
be used.
1. Make a list of all patient beds in the care unit.
2. Verify with the charge nurse that the list is representative of how
the clinical staff reference the bed numbers. (For example, in a
semi private room, do they reference the beds as Room 501 A
and 501 B, or Room 501-1 and 501-2?)
3. Enter the entire list of beds, up to 48 beds, in the AlarmView
programmer. (See Section 4: Programming.)
