modes, where the output power is internally fixed. Each press increases the
output power as follows:
P-L (1/2 watt) >> P-1 (1 watt) >> P-2 (2 watts) >>
P-5 (5 watts) >> P-L (1/2 watt), and so on.
At the 82 kHz operating frequency, only 1/2 watt and 1 watt are available; this is
due to FCC regulations. If the transmitter is operating at a higher output power
(2 W or 5 W) and the frequency is changed to 82 kHz, the transmitter
automatically defaults to P-1 (1 W).
Visual and Audible Indicators
The information display areas for the transmitter are easy to understand. In addition,
the transmitter has an audible indicator to provide feedback and warnings to the
user in certain situations.
All visual indicators for the transmitter are on the LCD display, which has four general
areas to display information to the user: a Battery Indicator, a Large 3-digit Numeric
Display, a Small 3-Digit Numeric Display, and several Units Indicators.
The Rex transmitter is equipped with automatic backlighting of the LCD to improve
readability under dim or dark lighting conditions.
BATTERY INDICATOR - The "Battery" symbol indicates the transmitter's
battery status. When all 3 segments inside the battery symbol are present,
the battery is fully charged. When only the 2 bottom segments are
present, the battery has a medium charge. When only the bottom
segment is present, the battery has a low charge and should be
recharged as soon as possible. If there are no segments present, the
battery is extremely low and it should be recharged immediately. If the
battery reaches a voltage dangerously close to the level where
continuous operation can damage it, the empty battery box will begin to
flash and transmitter shutdown is imminent. In addition, the battery
indicator is used to show that the charger is plugged in correctly; the
battery box will be on with all 3 segments rolling. See section Battery
Charger below for additional information on the battery charging visual
indicators.
LARGE 3-DIGIT NUMERIC DISPLAY - This area is used to display
operating mode information as follows:
Ind Transmitter operating in the Inductive mode
CLA Transmitter operating in the Inductive Clamp mode
P-X Transmitter operating in the Conductive mode X is L, 1, 2 or 5 to
indicate output power in Watts (L = 1/2 Watt)
