when done. Answers are tallied based on
which range answers fall in.
8.1.4 Priority
This question type allows for up to 30
programmable answer choices (1-30). Keypad
users are asked to input the choices in order
according to the question’s given criteria. Each
choice must be separated by use of the
“*SYM” key. The “Send” key must be pressed
when finished with inputs.
The Result displays the first priority as the
default, presenter uses Ctrl + numeric key to
change display of other priority.
8.1.5 Sequence
This question type allows users to put the
answers into correct sequence. Only correct
sequence will get the point, and the final point
will be published in Polling Detail. When
putting in the answers, each answer should be
separated by”*”.
8.2 Changing Answer Types
Since only PowerCom software determines
what the answer type is going to be, no
configuration of the keypad is necessary.
There is a scenario where the keypad may be
in the process of sending vote data when a
new question gets asked. The previous data
transmission may be cancelled. The keypad
will light the red LED to alert that the
transmission may not have completed
successfully.
This can also happen if a multi-digit answer is
partially entered on the keypad and another
question is asked. The keypad will light the red
LED and the previously entered data is cleared.
8.3 Low Battery Warning
The keypad contains a feature to alert when the
battery is low and should be replaced. After a
vote, the keypad will blink the red LED four
times before turning off. This occurs on each
vote until the battery is replaced. The battery
should be replaced at earliest convenience to
ensure operation continues. The keypad battery
level is also sent to the software on each vote
regardless of the level. This can be useful to find
full, partial and low batteries if the software
contains this feature.
8.4 RF Performance
The WRS97x system is frequency hopping to
avoid interferences from other products.
However, a heavily used wireless internet access
point can make certain frequencies more difficult
to transmit on. The keypad blinks the green LED
when sending the vote data if it has trouble
transmitting to the base. This may be caused by
other interference or a keypad that is near the
range limit of keypad to base.
