.4GHz Playmaker Product Document For Service Providers by Kevin Lee Revision 1.
1. Installation Requirements 1.1 Pre-installation 1.1.1 Set up charging trays. These charging trays are similar to the ones we currently use. However, the supplied power adapter is lower in voltage and has a different plug. 1.1.2 Connect the power adapter to the charging tray. 1.1.3 Place all Playmakers into the charging tray. This step is crucial as it brings the Playmakers out of shipping mode and into standard operating mode.
§ § If ceiling has aluminum tiles, try to install antenna away from the tiles. Never install antenna on sprinkler system as it may be in direct violation of the fire code (plus liability issue) 1.3.3 Using bit-error rate to identify antenna placement: § § § § § § § § 1.4 This new model uses what’s known as digital spread-spectrum to communicate with the base. As such BER, or bit-error rate is used to identify how well the remote units are communicating with the base.
or (iii) the mode number may not be ideal for avoiding interference (see Section 1.5.) 1.4.4 Upon successful registration, you should see the NTN Buzztime logo or our game menu. 1.4.5 Repeat from Section 1.4.2 one Playmaker at a time. The registration process should only take a couple of seconds for each unit. 1.5 Mode Selection and Restrictions There are currently 14 modes, and the idea is to have different modes for locations in close proximity where it could interfere with each other.
1.5.1 Is there another location within RF range? If unsure about this, place a call to our customer service center to inquire about the mode(s) currently being used in nearby locations. A rule of thumb is that if the closest location is over 1,000 ft away, the same mode number can be used. Otherwise, a different mode number must be selected. 1.5.2 Mode numbers are between 1 and 14. 1.5.3 Different mode numbers may improve or worsen RF performance. Select the mode number that performs the best.
1.6.3 De-registration Registration is a process in which the Playmaker seeks out the base station and initiates communication by first acquiring a slot # from the base. This slot # is known to us as the unit #. This number is sequentially assigned by the base station, and it is between 1 and 200. Once the limit is reached, the base will look for an available slot # starting from 1 again. When this function is selected, the Playmaker will send out a deregistration request to the base.
Figure 3 Memory Test 1.6.6 LCD Test Select this test to activate every pixel on the LCD display, i.e., turns the display dark. This is for identifying any dead pixels. Figure 4 LCD Test 1.6.7 Keypad Test This test allows every key to be tested, including the Cancel key. Select this test and an image of the keypad will appear on screen with a button that represents each key. Press the key to be tested and it will fill in the respective button on the display.
Selecting this option will show the current battery charge level in real time. Figure 6 Battery Level 1.6.9 Contrast Change This is for changing the contrast of the LCD display. By using the up-arrow and down-arrow keys, you can adjust the display to dark or light. Figure 7 Contrast Change 1.6.10 Ship Mode This option activates the Ship mode, which essentially is the battery conservation mode where it allows the Playmaker to be stored for a longer period of time.
