4.4 Symbol Key (*SYM)
This key is mainly used to
separate answers for multiple
answer questions. Please allow a
second or two to pass before
entering any numbers after using the symbol
key to ensure that the number appears after
the symbol and doesn’t override the symbol.
4.5 Number Keys
The number keys are used for voting and
changing settings. Some question types will
require these keys to be used for voting. If the
question type is alpha, then the display will
show the letter and participants will key in the
number that corresponds to the letter of their
answer/s.
5.0 System Operating Modes
PowerCom RF1 only supports Static address mode,
not the Dynamic mode operation. Both the base and
the keypads must be configured to the Static mode,
as they are not interoperable.
Note: The Base Station has both dynamic and static
mode options, so do not change to dynamic mode,
otherwise, you can never connect a dynamic mode
base to static mode keypad
6.0 Static Mode Keypad
A keypad in Static mode is configured to a
specific Base ID and address. Each keypad on a
system must be set to the same Base ID of the
Base Station to be used. The address of each
keypad in a system must be a unique number
between 1 and 500.
To obtain best system performance, start at
address 1 and continue up to the number of
keypads to be used.
Once the system is configured, the settings are
maintained indefinitely. The keypad can only be
used on the Base ID it is programmed. If more
flexibility is desired (moving a keypad from base
to base or room to room, for example) use
Dynamic mode operation.
Note: PowerCom RF1 only supports Static
address mode, no Dynamic mode operation.
