Chapter 1 – Pre-installation
We believe the Omnia-6fm is the easiest processor to install in its class, but please take a few minutes to read through
this chapter before proceeding with the installation.
Pre Installation Tasks
This section offers common procedures for installing your new Omnia-6fm processor. Note that there are additional
installation and operation tips presented in Chapter 4 that may pertain to your specific installation.
Omnia-6fm Components
By now, you’ve unpacked the shipping carton to gain access to this manual. Now is the time to inspect the Omnia-
6fm unit and its shipping carton for any signs of shipping damage, which must be reported to your carrier for any
claims. The Omnia-6fm shipping box includes the following components:
➤ Omnia-6fm processor (containing the DSP hardware)
➤ Omnia-6fm PCMCIA Type Memory card (holding the DSP software)
➤ PCMCIA Type Modem Card for use with Omnia 6-fm Remote Control
➤ Omnia-6fm Operating Manual (this document)
➤ Warranty Registration Card (Please complete the form and return/FAX it to Telos/Omnia)
➤ Two IEC Power Cords, one for use in the US, and one for use in Europe
PC Card & Modem Installation
Before installing your Omnia-6fm, or even plugging in the power cord, make sure the Omnia-6fm PC Memory Card
and Modem Card are installed into the correct card slots on the back panel and are fully seated. Installation or
removal must be done with the power off unless directed otherwise.
The PC Memory Card is inserted into the top card slot with the Omnia label facing up. The Modem Card is inserted
into the bottom card slot below the Omnia PC Card. Both the PC Card and the Modem Card are keyed to prevent
improper insertion. Gently
press the cards into the slots until the black release button, to the right of the card, pops
out about 1/2" [12.70 mm]. This indicates the card is properly seated in the PCMCIA slot.
