3. If the range extender is in Normal mode and is swiped with the programming magnet in the presence of a
handheld:
Both range extender LEDs blink three times to indicate the range extender is scanning for active
networks.
If the handheld network is found, the range extender attempts to join the network.
After the range extender joins the handheld network, both range extender LEDs blink five times.
At the end of Handheld mode, there are two options:
1. Using the handheld, the user can configure the range extender for Sleep mode. The range extender
joins the previous network and sends a leave indicator. The range extender will then remove any
children currently joined and enter Sleep mode.
Note The process of removing children currently joined to the range extender does not involve any
communication with the gas modules. The gas modules must be removed from the network individually.
2. The range extender is allowed to re-join the previous network and prepares to allow 2.4GZ gas
modules to join. After re-establishing the network connection and while the range extender waits for
potential joining gas modules, the E LED blinks signal strength. The range extender's window for
allowing gas modules to join is ten minutes.
4. If the range extender is in Normal Operation and the programming magnet is swiped with no available
handheld devices in range, the range extender executes the following sequence:
Both range extender LEDs blink three times to indicate the range extender is scanning for a handheld
network.
If the range extender does not discover an active handheld device, the range extender re-establishes
the previous network connection.
The E LED blinks to reflect the current signal strength.
The range extender prepares to allow gas modules to join and sets the timeout for 10 minutes. The 10-
minute timeout allows another gas module to join after the initial installation of at least one gas
module is complete.
