1.5.1 Is there another location within RF range? If unsure about this,
place a call to our customer service center to inquire about the
mode(s) currently being used in nearby locations. A rule of thumb
is that if the closest location is over 1,000 ft away, the same mode
number can be used. Otherwise, a different mode number must be
selected.
1.5.2 Mode numbers are between 1 and 14.
1.5.3 Different mode numbers may improve or worsen RF performance.
Select the mode number that performs the best. Use BER as the
guide (see 1.6.4) to determine the best mode.
1.5.4 Mode numbers should NOT be the first line of defense to get
optimal RF performance. Antenna placement is.
1.5.5 Note that the mode numbers on the Playmakers are automatically
set when they are initially powered on.
