 System uses the latest in 2.4 GHz 
wireless technology to turn any meeting into a 
dynamic interactive experience for each participant 
without having to deal with a nightmare of cables and

Fleetwood is unique in the marketplace with its 
patented technology to provide a two-way link with 
the keypads. This design ensures that no responses 
are missed by requiring a keypad to retransmit the 
user’s response until it is properly received by the 
Base Station. The design also allows the system to 
refuse to acknowledge any invalid entries. This is 
clearly superior to other technologies using one-way 
radio or infrared, which do not provide 
acknowledgment to the keypad when its entry is 
received and do not have any way of rejecting invalid 
entries. 
3.2 Placement of the Reply
®
 System 
The Base Station can be located anywhere in the area 
where the keypads are to be used.  WRS7200 
keypads can operate in a room up to 300’ x 300’ in 
size.  Despite a robust communication system, walls 
and some other 2.4 GHz devices can moderately to 
severely limit the WRS970 system’s performance.  If 
coverage of a larger area is necessary, elevation of 
the Base Station or centering in room can usually 
improve the reception of the keypad signals.   
 
NOTE:  Due to the properties of signals operating at 
2.4 GHz, Fleetwood does not recommend placing any 
walls between the base station and the keypads.  The 
material in a wall tends to absorb the RF signal and 
slightly reduced performance might be observed. 
3.3 Configure Base for Connection Type 
Both types of connections can be connected to the 
Base unit simultaneously.  However, the Base can 
only communicate through one of the two.  No 
buttons exist as the Base determines the connection 
method based how power is first applied to the unit.  
If power is first connected using USB, USB is 
selected.  If power is first applied using the external 
DC jack or the built-in PoE, Ethernet is selected.  The 
base will present on the LCD at power up which 
connection is activated. 
 
  
The WRS970 Base Station is the control center for 
the system and operates according to commands 
issued by the application software.  The Base Station 
can be set to any of the 31 available channels through 
the WRS970 OCX module. Each Base Station can 
process responses from up to 500 keypads. 
3.4 Connecting to PC  
A radio frequency packet is continuously sent out by 
the base station when the unit is powered on.  Each 
base station’s packet can only be heard by keypads 
that have been set to the same channel.   
The WRS970 provides two options for connecting to 
a PC: USB and Ethernet.
