3. After selecting the number Enter New Number will appear. Enter the 7-digit serial number of the

Slave (or Master) transceiver.

4. The system will prompt for Repeater 1’s number. If no Repeaters are being used, press the Esc

key. (skip step 5) Otherwise, enter the 7-digit serial number of the Repeater.

5. The system will then prompt for Repeater 2’s number. Enter the 7-digit serial number of the

second Repeater. If only one Repeater is being used, press the Esc key.

6. The system refreshes the transceiver’s Call Book menu with the new changes.

7. Press the Esc key to return to the Main Menu.

Note: When entering numbers into the Call Book, Repeaters need only be defined in the Master Call

Book. The Slave Call Book only requires the Master’s Serial number. A repeater need not have

anything listed in its Call Book.

ROGRAMMING POINT-TO-POINT EXTENDED CALL BOOK TO USE THREE OR FOUR REPEATERS

In a Point-to-Point configuration FreeWave transceivers can utilize up to 4 Repeaters. To use 3 or 4

Repeaters, program the Call Book with the Slave’s serial number, followed by the first 2 Repeaters. On

the next line enter 999-9999 as the transceiver to call. When prompted for the Repeaters enter the third

and fourth Repeaters in the link.

The illustration below depicts a Point-to-Point link where a Slave is called through 4 Repeaters. In this

example the Master is calling the Slave, 571-3872, through Repeater 1, 901-1234, then Repeater 2, 910-

0234, then Repeater 3, 571-3456, and finally Repeater 4, 571-4567. It is the entry of serial number 999-

9999 in line 1 that instructs the Master to continue calling through the Repeaters programmed on that

line.

It is important that the Call Book slots (0-9) are filled sequentially starting with slot 0. When a Master is

instructed to Call All, it will call all Slaves listed until it reaches the first serial number of 000-0000. If a

valid serial number is entered after the all zero number or as a Repeater, it will not be recognized as a

valid number by the Master.
