attached) will be parallel to the sideline and secure it
with pin 1 at the bottom of the tube.
2c. Secure the mast and tube with one hand, then remove
pins 2 and 3 from the top of the tube. Carefully lower
the mast to a bench or chair level with the cart.
CAUTION: Ensure there is a minimum of 20 feet of clearance
beside the cart before lowering the mast.
2d. Extend the mast to the desired height, locking each
section in place. (A minimum of 12 ft. is recommended.)
Use pin 4 to secure any non-extended sections.
1a. Once the cart is positioned
at mideld, insert each of
the four stabilizers into
their associated slots.
1b. Extend the stabilizers to
the ground using either the
socket wrench or the drill bit
adapter and drill. Continue

Game Day Guide
Set Home/Away status.
6a. Follow the X-Ware prompts on the
touchscreen monitor to set your
system’s Home/Away status.
Important: No RF transmission will occur until
the Home/Away status is selected.
Failure to set this status properly
may result in RF interference.
The Home/Away setting aids customers with
hopping pattern coordination between RTs
and Radio Packs. Based on this setting, all
of the RTs on the system will be assigned
specic hopping patterns by the Control Unit
(CU). A selection must be made before you
can proceed with system setup.
It is very important to set this status correctly.
Hopping pattern coordination prevents
interference between X-Systems.

(4a.) Connect
RT cable to rear
cart panel.
(4b.) Connect dry
pairs to rear
cart panel.
(5b.) Power on the cart.
6a. Follow the prompts on your top (primary) CU to set
your system’s Home/Away status.
Important: No RF transmission will occur until the Home/
Away status is selected. Failure to set this
status properly may result in RF interference.
The Home/Away setting aids customers with hopping
pattern coordination between RTs and Radio Packs.
Based on this setting, all of the RTs on the system
will be assigned specic hopping patterns by the
Control Unit (CU). It is very important to set this
status correctly. Hopping pattern coordination
improves operation between X-Systems.
During startup, the conguration le (CCF) will begin
loading while the Home/Away prompt is displayed on
the top CU. A progress bar shows the load process
on the bottom CU. Once the Home/Away prompt is
cleared, the CCF load progress can be seen on both
CUs.
6b. Wait until the CUs display the “CCF Loaded” message, along
with a conguration le summary. (The bottom CU will take
about 30 seconds longer than the top.) When the CCF load
is complete, the home screen will display on the front of the
CU(s) and you can proceed.
6c. Open X-Ware and allow its Home screen to load.
Connect AC power and power on the cart.
5a. Route an external power extension cord through the cart’s hatch and connect it to the main
AC power cord in the rear of the cart.
CAUTION: Secure and protect any cords to prevent walkway hazards and potential contact with
moisture.
5b. Power on the cart via Master On/Off switch on the cart’s rear panel.
5c. Conrm that all devices on the front rack are powered on, including the AC power distribution
unit, Control Unit(s), and monitor.
