'BEEP' mode is se lec ted by moving t he O n/Off switch in the direction away from the eight LED's,

TRANSMI SSION RA NGE.

When using the 'MINDA' system over a line-of-sight path you are likely to obtai n a working
distance in excess of 100 yards, w hereas in a busy str eet , hotel or st at ion the range will be
noticeably less.

It is recommended that, before using a 'M I NDA' system in a 'live' operational situation, you carry
out a few tests in the location(s) of interest to confirm consistent and reliabl e operation.
