3.6.   Interference Test:

This mode is designed to allow you to test for interferance from other radios or to determine if data
is being transmitted. This can be a handy way to check for problems during an event. The impulses
are still being recived as normal.

If you press the device-key (10) of the TED-RX for about half a second, it switches the speaker on.
You can now listen for speech or data.

The LED shows the signal strength of the received signal. The naturally red LED turns green with
good data reception and orange with questionable data. A single impulse will not register fast
enough to see it.

To turn the interference test off press again device-key (10).

Attention:

The TED-RX has double power consumption during this mode.
