SETTING UP THE PDL ROVER

Overview of PDL Rover Radio Modem

Front Panel

Buttons

The ON/OFF button is used to turn the PDL Rover modem on and off. When not in use, the PDL Rover

should be turned off to conserve battery power.

Turn the unit on by pressing the ON/OFF button and holding it until the channel display indicator is lit.

Turn off the PDL Rover by pressing the ON/OFF button until the display goes blank. There is a

one-second turn-off delay in the power button to prevent inadvertent turn off.

The CHANNEL button is used to display and change the channel. Press the CHANNEL button

momentarily to display the selected channel. To change the channel, press the CHANNEL button once

to light the display, and then again to change the channel. Release the CHANNEL button when the

desired channel is indicated.

Use the CHANNEL button to select the "r" setting. With "r" selected, the PDL Rover will be placed in

AutoRover mode. This mode automatically selects the channel being used by the PDL Base. If you are

operating in an area with more than one PDL Base station active, you should manually select the channel

of operation to assure proper operation.

Display

The seven-segment, numeric display is used

to indicate the channel or mode selection. To

conserve power, the display is only lit for a

short period following the pressing of the

CHANNEL or ON/OFF buttons. Channel

selections range from Channel 0 to Channel

15. Two digit channel numbers are displayed

by alternately flashing a "1" followed by the

second digit.

Indicator LEDs

The power LED indicates the power status

and also provides a low battery indicator.

When lit, power is turned on. The power LED

will blink to indicate that the internal battery

requires recharging. If the power LED does

not respond to the ON/OFF button, then the

internal battery may be fully discharged and

must be charged prior to further operation.
