MODEL CSTXR.1 Operating Manual FOR FCC PART 95 (LPRS) AND FCC PART 90 (LICENSED) PROJECT LIFESAVER INTERNATIONAL 815 BATTLEFIELD BLVD. SOUTH CHESAPEAKE, VA 23322 877-580-LIFE (5433) PH. 757-546-5502 FAX 757-546-5503 WWW.PROJECTLIFESAVER.ORG FEATURES - Sealed transmitter module and Lexan housing are each completely waterproof providing double barrier to water damage. - Lexan housing available for either ¾” or narrower strap or 1” wide strap. - Transmitter module is interchangeable between either housing and is removable so housing can be replaced at low cost. - Uses a CR2450 lithium battery purchased through Project Lifesaver. - Transmitter is extremely rugged and will not drift in frequency over temperature extremes. - Available on any approved Project Lifesaver frequency. - Unique ID for each agency allows easy transmitter identification for neighboring jurisdictions. - Five (5) year unconditional replacement warranty on transmitter module. BATTERY INSTALLATION Photo #1 1. Photo #1 shows the Lexan housing upside down with the battery cap and transmitter removed. 2. Drop the transmitter into the housing with the label side up as shown in photo #2. 3. Place the battery on top of the transmitter module as shown in photo #3. The plus (+) side of the CR2450 lithium battery is facing up as shown. If the battery is accidentally reversed, the transmitter will not operate but will not be damaged. Just pop out the battery and reverse it to resume operation. 4. Place the properly lubed battery cap (see photo #6) over the (+) side of the battery. Hold the housing with one hand and use your thumb and fingers on the other hand to start the threads of the battery cap into the housing. Then use the supplied battery cap key to tighten clockwise until tight. Use a Kleenex to clean off any Magic Lube that may have oozed out of the battery cap after tightening it. 5. Verify that the transmitter is running with a VHF Transmitter Tester. When the Tester is placed on top of a running transmitter, its red LED light will blink on and off. (See photo #4).

(see photo #1) Housing and battery cap colors do NOT have to match. 1. Exchange the cap on the supplied tube of Magic Lube with one of the supplied replacement spouts. The old cap that was on the Magic Lube is no longer needed. 2. Apply a thin bead of Magic Lube into the entire “O” ring slot in the battery cap BEFORE INSTALLING the “O” ring. (see photo #5) 3. Install one of the supplied unlubed “O” rings from the top of the battery cap so it falls into the now lubed slot. Do not roll the “O” ring over the threads! 4. The Magic Lube will ooze out around the “O” ring and will form the needed water barrier in the back and sides of the “O” ring. This will keep water out of the housing. 5. Use a Kleenex to slightly even out any large excess of Magic Lube in front of the “O” ring. (see photo #6) 6. When changing the battery, do not remove any excess lube covering the “O” ring. Just leave it there. 7. Once every 6 months replace the “O” ring. First, clean out the “O” ring slot with a Kleenex or Q-Tip, then follow steps 2 to 5 above. 8. Pop the blue tip on the spout to keep the Magic Lube usable for many years. Photo #5 Apply Lube Before “O” Ring Photo #6 Properly Lubed Battery Cap TRANSMITTER ID The ID code is a series of regular transmitter beeps from 0-9. This allows 10 agency ID codes so transmitters can always be recognized as belonging to a specific agency even if jurisdictions overlap. The ID is sent by the transmitter after 5 beeps when the battery is first inserted and then once every 2 minutes. Every 2 minutes a very pronounced “double beep” will be heard in the receiver. Simply count the number of ID beeps until the second “double beep” is heard. That will be the ID code assigned to that transmitter.

FCC COMPLIANCE NOTICE FOR PART 90 (LICENSED) The Communications Specialists Model CSTXR.1 wrist or ankle mounted transmitter is used as a homing device to locate persons by Doppler positioning or triangulation. It is FCC Certified and must be used with a valid FCC license, issued for telemetry uses, under Part 90.259 of the Rules. It is programmed at the factory to operate in the 217-220MHz band. In order to legally operate this transmitter, you must first meet the eligibility requirements of FCC Part 90.35. This means you must be engaged in a commercial or educational activity. Then you must have a valid FCC license yourself or be part of a for-profit or non-profit sharing agreement as detailed in 90.179 held by your equipment provider or someone else. If you choose to obtain your own FCC license, we will help you with the following required steps. We will recommend a License Administrator who will prepare your license application and submit it to a Frequency Coordinator. A few questions will need to be answered such as your company name, address, area of planned operation, etc. We will provide the technical information required such as frequencies requested, output power, emission type, etc. A separate fee will be required for the Administrator, Frequency Coordinator, and FCC. After your license is issued and equipment installed, the Administrator will notify the FCC that buildout is complete. Your license will normally be issued for a 10 year term. All operation is secondary to the fixed and mobile services. The FCC ID for this transmitter is CFXTXR-2. CAUTION: This device may not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Phone 877-580-LIFE (5433) www.projectlifesaver.org
