How to Test Wireless Call Buttons Before Service

Before the launch of the service, a test run of the Wireless Call Buttons can prevent problems when customers start to use them.

Check Your Signal Reach

Test the signal at the farthest corner of your premises. Test it around corners, in doorways, near windows, on outdoor seating areas. Test it wherever your wireless call buttons are going to be mounted.

Test Near Kitchen Equipment

Check the call buttons near Kitchen Equipment that could interfere with the wireless signal, such as microwaves and large refrigeration units. Press the button near these pieces of equipment to test that the alert is sent and received clearly. Move the receiver about a meter away to test.

Confirm the Right Receiver Responds

Where there are multiple buttons check that the correct receiver lights up / sounds for each button when pressed individually. This can cause confusion when staff are called and several buttons are in use.

Check Battery Level and Volume

The battery level indicator for most units is turned on during setup. It is also wise to test the volume of the alert in your premises’ noisiest area. It may need to be turned up or the receiver repositioned. For Call Buttons, visit www.dinggly.com/us/products/wireless-call-buttons/.

Do a Full Run-Through With Staff

Press each button in turn and have someone at the receiver try to work out which button you have pressed. This allows you to test how practical it is to work with your chosen wireless call button. A single test of this nature is far more valuable than any amount of individual testing.

Checking them now could mean avoiding a load of problems when the doors open.
