T-LINK2 SETUP
Each T-Link 3.0 unit is configured with a
unique ID code and a wireless optimizer code.
These codes are listed on the identity label located
on the bottom of the T-Link 3.0 unit. Valid T-Link
3.0ID codes are A, B, C, D, E, F, or G. The
wireless optimizer code is also listed on the identy

and compatibility with other T-Link 3.0 units.
Install the antennas on all T-Link 3.0 units.
If the antenna has been bent down for transport,
loosen the antenna slightly and rotate the upper
portion of the antenna into position. Hold the
upper portion of the antenna while tightening the
