General Operations

Preparations

•Connect the power adapter to the charging socket

(For the first-time usage of the device, the battery should be charged continuously

10 hours)

•Switch On the device by a one-second press on the On/OFF switch

Starting a test scenario

Start a new test

As per the CW Measurement scenario, after identifying Antenna locations, connect the WTX-

35-B4 CW

Transmitter to the Antenna at the first Antenna location now you are ready for starting a CW

Walk Test. Please stick to the following steps to do a proper RF Transmission,

1- Press “RF ON/OFF” Key. This will recall the last configuration test.

2- Edit any parameter Freq. or Amp. –if needed- and press “RF ON/OFF” again to start

transmitting (Alternatively, From Main Menu, go to “Start Test”, and click Enter)

3- Adjust the new test channel configuration parameters through the following steps:

-Write test channel frequency (in MHz) in the relevant band (a standard frequency

step of 100 KHz)

-Write channel amplitude (in dBm) related to

the selected frequency band

-You have 4 channels configurations, 1st

configuration is for the transmitter port 1, 2nd

configuration is for the 2nd transmitter port and so on

4- Press Key “1” to enable or disable the transmitter

port 1, press Key“2” for enabling port 2 and so on,

then press the RF ON/OFF key. You will notice the

RF indicator appears on the screen

5- After finishing the CW transmission, press “RF ON/OFF” key to stop the RF

transmission.

Recall saved configuration

-From Main menu, use up & down arrows to choose “Saved Channels” menu then

press enter key

-In the saved channels menu, you will find the saved test configurations you stored

"up to 24 test configurations". Use up & down arrows to choose the required

configuration then press Key (2) to select the channel and start RF Transmission

-In this case, you don’t have to press RF ON/OFF

key, you will notice the RF indicator appears on

the screen once you select one of the saved

channels

Save a re-usable Configuration

-After setting new test configuration parameters,

you can save these new channel configurations by

pressing “Save” key to be saved in the “Saved

Channels” menu -A text box appears on the screen.

It has a default name.

-To save with its default name, press the “Enter” key

directly.

-To edit the name, press edit key then enter

the name of the test configuration needed to be

saved and then press the “Enter”.

Note: The maximum number of the channel name

characters is 12
