Changing the Frequency Channel
If your AquaLink RS system is turning items on or
off at undesignated times, another AquaLink RS
Handheld Remote system may be in close proximity
using the same or similar frequency channel. To prevent
unwanted operation the channel for your AquaLink
RS system can be changed. The AquaLink Handheld
Remote and the AquaLink Transceiver J-box
must be
set to the same RF channel
.
