TempTrak Liberator Instruction ManualKatchall Technology Group 2Revision AOwner’s RecordThe serial number for the TempTrak Liberator unit is located on the side of the plastic case attached to thebottom of the bar code reader assembly. Record the serial number in the space provided below. Refer tothis number whenever you call upon your Katchall dealer regarding this product.Serial Number: TTC______________TTImportant Safety InstructionsWhen using the Temptrak Liberator unit, observe the following safety instructions:1. Read and understand all instructions.2. Unplug this product from the re-charger cable before cleaning. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean.Avoid getting moisture on the electronic connections.3. Do not submerge the product in a liquid. Damage to the electronics will occur.4. When storing the unit, securely place the unit onto a flat surface. Failure to do so may result in theunit falling to the ground, possibly damaging the product.5. The unit is powered via an internal battery. Do not use the unit while the unit is re-charging.6. Re-charge the internal battery only via the plug-in power converter provided with the unit.7. Do not disassemble the product. Contact your Katchall dealer if problems arise in the operation ofthe unit.The TempTrak Liberator unit is powered via an internal battery. Observe the following instructions toavoid injury to persons or food products:1. Do not attempt to modify or replace the internal battery. Contact your Katchall dealer if the batteryneeds replacing.2. Do not dispose of the Liberator unit in a fire. The battery within the unit may explode. Check withlocal codes for possible special disposal instructions.Wireless OperationThe TempTrak Liberator unit communicates to the other devices in the TempTrak system via radiofrequency (RF) energy. Careful placement of the unit is required to insure consistent RF communicationswith other TempTrak devices. The following general considerations apply to placement of the TempTrakLiberator unit:1. In general, the TempTrak Liberator will communicate with a TempTrak Commander or Echo unitat ranges up to 150 feet. This range applies only to clear line-of-sight transmission in which thereare no physical obstructions between the TempTrak Liberator unit and the TempTrak Commanderunit. A simple way to insure line-of-sight transmission is to verify that you can physically see oneunit when standing at eye level with the other unit.2. The TempTrak Liberator unit will communicate with other TempTrak devices through walls. Therange at which communication through a wall can be achieved is a function of the materials fromwhich the wall is constructed. Any solid metallic materials greater than 1 square foot in areawithin the direct transmission path will block the RF transmissions. In general, the following rule
TempTrak Liberator Instruction ManualKatchall Technology Group 3Revision Aof thumb can be used for transmission ranges through interior walls (drywall construction isassumed, actual performance will vary significantly due to differences in construction material andtheir subsequent impact on RF transmission):0 walls ! 150 feet1 wall ! 75 feet2 walls ! 50 feet3 walls ! 35 feet4 walls ! 25 feet5 walls ! 15 feet3. Placement of the operator’s body between the TempTrak Liberator unit and the TempTrakCommander units will decrease the effective range of the unit.4. Do not place the TempTrak Liberator unit near a cordless telephone base unit. Interference mayresult.5. Operation of cordless phones and cell phones in near proximity to the TempTrak Liberator unitmay result in interference.Information To The UserNOTE: The TempTrak Liberator unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class Bdigital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonableprotection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and canradiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may causeharmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will notoccur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televisionreception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encourage to try tocorrect the interference by one or more of the following measures:1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver isconnected.4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Caution To User: changes or modifications to this equipment that are not expressly approved by the partyresponsible for FCC compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.System OperationPlease refer to the TempTrak system operations manual for detailed instructions on how to place andintegrate TempTrak Liberator units into a fully operational TempTrak system.
