Please refer to the RFScope tool (Section 10.8) to assist in choosing an optimal RF channel
for MicroTrax devices.
If you are using wireless devices, we recommend fully charging the Radio/Battery Modules
prior to use. If the power LED on the wireless Wand or Head tracker transmitter is flashing,
that is an indication of a low battery. Once the wireless receiver / transmitter combinations
have been configured below, each receiver will be matched to exactly one transmitter via
an “RF Channel” and “Link ID”. The system will not need to be configured again unless the
user wishes to change the receiver/transmitter pairing.
1. Make sure the IS-900 Processor is powered off.
2. Plug the Base Receiver Modules into the IS-900 Processor.
Plug the cable coming from the Base Receiver Modules directly into one of the
IS-900 Processor Ports (Ports 1 to 5 on the SimTracker processor or Ports 1 to
8 on the VETracker processor) on the rear of the processor.
3. Turn on the wireless tracking devices by holding the power buttons for approximately 2
seconds.
4. On the wireless wand, the power button is the button farthest to the left (under the joystick).
On the wireless head tracker, the power button is the only button available on the transmitter
pack that connects to the tracker itself.
5. Turn on the IS-900 processor. When the system has finished booting, verify that each
receiver has a green power LED lit. (If there are no LEDs on any of the receivers, then they are
not receiving power and they will not be configurable. Power off the IS-900 processor and check
that the cable was inserted securely).
