User Interface

The MultiRAE’s user interface consists of the display, alarm LEDs, an alarm buzzer, and three keys.

4.1 Display Overview

The LCD display provides visual feedback that includes the sensor types, readings, alarm status, battery
condition, and other information.

4.1.1 Mesh Radio Status Indicator Icons

Along the top of most screens are status indicators that tell you whether a function is operating and/or its
strength or level. Wi-Fi status icons are shown on page 17.
