Monitoring Radio Waves
It is not possible to use the [Radio Wave Monitor] function in the
RTR-500DC while carrying out communication from the software
application.
There may be some instances in which, due to other wireless commu-
nication devices using radio waves or other radio wave interferences,
communication capability of RTR-500DC does not meet expected
standards. Monitoring radio waves with the RTR-500DC Unit before
carrying out Remote Unit registration via "RTR-500DC for Windows"
will help you set a frequency channel to avoid interference and reduce
the chances of communication errors.
1.
In the Main Menu, open [Set Functions] - [Radio Wave Monitor].

The Unit will search for radio waves and display wireless signal
levels.
- Press the Operation Dial to cancel the radio wave monitoring function.
- Until the function is canceled, wireless communication will still be in progress for the
RTR-500DC.

Assigning a Communication Frequency Channel
When assigning a frequency channel for a Group in the Remote Unit Registra-
tion, select a channel with a short white/black bar. A longer white/black bar
shows stronger signal strength which indicates the presence of other wireless
communication devices.
