Range Tuning
The Bulldog has a tunable range for setting off pagers. The Range Tuner located on the front of the Bulldog
can be adjusted to set the range as desired. Default setting when shipped is at maximum.
To adjust the range have a charger 1 fully charged pager and a tuning stick available (Notes: keep the
charger at least 30 feet away from the Bulldog) then:
1. Reset the pager by removing it from the charger. After the pager finishes blinking/vibrating ap-
proach the Bulldog at a normal walking pace. When the pager begins to constantly vibrate and
or beep this is the current range of the Bulldog.
2. Place the pager on charger to stop the vibrating/beeping.
3. Use the tuning stick to adjust the Range Tuner:
 • Clockwise to increase the range
 • Counter-clockwise to decrease the range.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until desired range is set.
Notes:
 • The Bulldog has less range with moving pagers than stationary pagers. Example: Customer’s
pager sitting at Table B may go off even though a person walking would be set off only a few
feet from the door.
 • When mounting and setting the Range of the Bulldog keep in mind the location of where pa-
trons will sit or wait. If the Bulldog is located near eating tables or a waiting area adjust the
range or position so the customers are not getting unneeded pages.
