For special cases where you have a very long distance or a lot of obstructions between the Sender and Display you can increase the radio range setting. Longer distances require more time to transmit so the longer the range the slower a Sender will send data.
It is highly recommended to leave the range at the standard 800' setting unless you have a special scenario that requires it to be increased.
To access the user settings menu, click left with the joystick. Scroll down to the Radio Range option and center press the joystick to select it. To change the setting, scroll to the range you want and center press to select it.
IMPORTANT: Sender units must have the same radio range setting or they will not communicate. If you change the display setting you must change the sender unit setting as well.
To set range only on the display scroll down to Set Display and select it.
The display can set the range on connected Senders at the same time. To use this you must ensure the following before proceeding:
Sender(s) are powered on
Sender(s) are near the display and you can see it's status light
When the above is complete, check the Set on nodes box, then scroll to Set All and select it. The Sender(s) status light should be solid purple color indicating it is ready. The display will now show the confirmation screen.
If all Senders have a purple status light:
Check the Confirmed box
Scroll to Set All and center press to select it
If any Senders do not have a purple status light:
select the Back button to return to the previous screen
Check the Set on nodes box again
Select the Set All button again
Repeat until all Senders have a purple status light shown
To cancel without setting, hit the reset button on the display. Power off Senders and restart.
