Radio (CAR)
Quick Reference Guide

The Collector Activation Radio (CAR) is a
small handheld device that is used to turn on the
wireless diagnostic radio in a 100 Series
collector or repeater.

To turn on the wireless diagnostic

radio

• Press and release the red button on the

CAR. One button press, regardless of
duration, sends one message.

You must be within 100 feet of the
collector or repeater.

The wireless activation message is sent within
four seconds of pressing the button.

When the message from the CAR is received,
the Wi-Fi is enabled and a PC (with the proper
security settings) may now access the
collector/repeater with a Web-based session.

If a PC makes a successful connection within 30
minutes, the wireless diagnostic mode will
remain active until the connection has been
severed.

If a PC does not connect within 30 minutes, the
CCU exits the wireless mode.

Troubleshooting

If the CCU does not recognize the collector
activation message, check that it has power and
is operating.
