When enabled,
Write-Protection
prevents changes to the transmitter configuration. You can perform all
other functions, and you can view the transmitter configuration parameters.
Note
The write protection setting via software methods (such as ProLink III) is only available on transmitters
without a display.
For transmitters with a display, write protection is only available using the lock switch on the display.
Write-protecting the transmitter primarily prevents accidental changes to configuration, not intentional
changes. Any user who can make changes to the configuration can disable write protection.
