2.4 Positioning and Range:
A radio range of approximately 164 feet can be reached and even more.
The radio range depends on local conditions. Transmitters on the same frequency
like garage door openers, radio thermometers, radio headphones, radio mouse or
radio keyboards and other obstacles between sender and receiver like walls can limit
the radio range.
Set up the receiver in a way that the range is not exeeded by any portion of your
layout. The receiver should have at least a 3 feet distance from transformers, digital
central station and the tracks. Do not lay the cable parallel to the tracks. If necessary
try several positions to determine the best location for the receiver.

3. Establish radio connection:
Please ensure to use a 2.4GHz Navigator system. The first connection (or re-
connection after a reset) will happen usually automatically. If this is not the case,
just bring the Navigator into connection mode. You find the required setting in the
Navigators menu. For further registrations or if the first registration was unsuccessful,
please press the push button on the receiver for 5 seconds until the status LED is
symmetrically blinking fastly.
While blinking, you can register another navigator. Already registered radio
participants can login without registration. If this does not work, it can either be
because the maximum capacity of users is reached (more than eight transmitters
on the list) or a reset has been initiated. The systems connection list always deletes
the oldest navigator first. Up to two navigators can be saved before deleting from
the connection list. For this, you have to select the Pri for „priority“ option in your
navigator menu (RC Config --> LogIn 2.4).
4. ID - Identification number:
The RC Receiver is passive and does not require an ID that can be configured by
the user. When registrating a Navigator, the central station automatically identifies
the receiver and allocates an ID.
