Monitoring Radio Waves. T&D RTR-500DC

Monitoring Radio Waves

It is not possible to use the [Radio Wave Monitor] function in the

RTR-500DC while carrying out communication from the software application.

There may be some instances in which, due to other wireless communication devices using radio waves or other radio wave interferences, communication capability of RTR-500DC does not meet expected standards. Monitoring radio waves with the RTR-500DC Unit before carrying out Remote Unit registration via "RTR-500DC for Windows" will help you set a frequency channel to avoid interference and reduce the chances of communication errors.

1. In the Main Menu, open [Set Functions] - [Radio Wave Monitor].

2. The Unit will search for radio waves and display wireless signal levels.

- Press the Operation Dial to cancel the radio wave monitoring function.

- Until the function is canceled, wireless communication will still be in progress for the

RTR-500DC.

- While using this function, the Auto Power Off Function will be disabled.

Assigning a Communication Frequency Channel

When assigning a frequency channel for a Group in the Remote Unit Registration, select a channel with a short white/black bar. A longer white/black bar shows stronger signal strength which indicates the presence of other wireless communication devices.
