Telemetry Channel Menu
This menu has five telemetry channel settings (1, 2, 3, 4, and 0). For communication to occur between the
receiver and remote display, both devices must be set to the same telemetry channel. The current telemetry
setting is highlighted when this menu opens.
Select the desired telemetry channel on the receiver. To turn telemetry off and conserve receiver battery life,
select “0”. Channel 0 is also used when there are more than four receivers operating in the same area; using
more than one receiver per channel within telemetry range of each other will cause conflicting signals to be
sent to the remote display on the drill rig.
