Storage; Turning On The Receiver And Setting The Channel; Temperature Compensation Control (Tcc) - Contact RX-9700 Mode D'emploi

1. Storage.

The receiver can be used in any weather, but should be kept warm and dry, for exam-
ple in an inside pocket, to protect the electronic components as much as possible. The
receiver should be allowed to air dry, in the same way as a gun, after use in damp
weather.
When the equipment isn't being used the transmitter should be stored where it will not
be moved (not in a car). This is due to the fact that when the transmitter is in motion
the IR sensor is activated, thus using some power. Therefore the transmitter must
remain still if the power is to be shut off completely.
During longer periods without use (more than 1 month), the batteries in both the trans-
mitter and receiver should be removed to eliminate the risk of battery leakage.

2. Turning on the receiver and setting the channel.

Pressing (ON/OFF) for a few seconds turns on the receiver. Then on the display bet-
ween the (-) and (+) buttons the set channel is shown. Set the desired channel (the
channel is given on the transmitter) using the (-) and (+) buttons. If either button is
pressed down, then five channels will be displayed slowly one after another and the
display speed will continually increase as the button continues to be pressed down.
Pressing (ON/OFF) for a few seconds turns off the receiver. The channel last used is
then automatically stored in the memory until the next time that the receiver is used.
If you want to check what channel is set while using the receiver, then make a quick
press on the (-) or (+) button. The set channel is then displayed for a few seconds.

3. Temperature Compensation Control (TCC).

If Contact™ is used in severe cold or extreme warmth, then the receiver channel may
need to be compensated somewhat in order to maintain optimal performance of the
equipment. If the tracking signal changes pitch (higher or lower) and the range is redu-
ced, then the channel needs to be compensated.
The actual temperature compensation value (TCC-value) is shown by a figure (-4 to
+4) on the display directly after the frequency is seen when the receiver is first turned
on. The actual frequency and TCC-value can also be checked by pressing the 'IR butt-
ton' (the dog symbol). First the channel is shown, for example 99, followed by the
TCC-value, for example 1. The figure's position in the display window indicates if the
value is negative (left) or positive (right). FIGURE 1.
Compensation for cold: The tracking signal pitch sounds higher than normal. Hold the
'IR button' down, and press once on the (+) button. The TCC-value changes from '0' to '1'.
