Changing frequency channel
If you are experiencing problems with the range or reliability this may be due to poor reader positioning, adjacent
interfering 125 kHz or 2.4 GHz equipment, e.g. an adjacent wireless PC network. Please refer to the 'Before you
install' information regarding unit locations.
If you are still unable to improve the system performance then you may try an alternative 2.4 GHz channel using
Switch 1. The system has 16 channels available. (Unless keycard SW2 is selected) The frequency switch is set
to 4 (channel 15) but this can be changed using a small flat blade screwdriver. Take care not to contact the circuit
board with the screwdriver blade as this may damage components. Power cycle the unit after any changes.

Enrolling hand free keyfobs and keycards
Switch SW2 is used to select the fixed channels used by the two keycard buttons. Select either switch 1 or 2
to set which keycard button the interface will respond to.
SW2 - Keycard button 1 and 2 fixed channels - If either switch 1 (Channel 26) or switch 2 (Channel 11) is set,
the rotary frequency switch is disabled. If both switches are selected, the interface will not operate.
The unit must be power cycled if the switch position is changed to activate the new setting.

Hands free keyfobs
These tokens should be assigned to users as per standard keyfobs. They will then operate with standard
Paxton readers or via a hand free setup when in range.
Hands free keycards
Keycards should first be assigned to users as per the hands free keyfob.
To enable the buttons, the keycard must first be presented to the P series reader and then used in hands free
mode. The keycard stores the details of this interface and can then activate the door using a button.
A keycard can be used in normal hands free mode and also in local passive mode with other Paxton readers.
