Manually Selecting a Group and Channel

Specific groups and channels can be assigned to the receiver instead of using the automatic scan function.

Note: Group 3 should only be used in controlled Wi-Fi environments to prevent interference from unexpected Wi-Fi devices.

Selecting a Group

Press and hold the group button for 2 seconds until the group display flashes.

Press the group button to scroll through the available groups.

The receiver will automatically save the selected group.

Selecting a Channel

Press and hold the channel button for 2 seconds until the channel display flashes.

Press the channel button to scroll through the available channels.

The receiver will automatically save the selected channel.

Note: A double dash symbol-- displayed on the receiver screen during a channel scan indicates that there are no available channels within the selected group.

Choose a group with more channels and repeat set up steps.
