Finding Clear Frequencies with SmartTune
SmartTune simplifies setup by scanning the tuning
range of the receiver and automatically setting a re-
ceiver module to a clear frequency. A receiver module
is selected, a scan is completed and the frequency is
set for that module. A prompt appears, reminding you to
turn on a transmitter on the newly selected frequency,
and the procedure continues until all modules have
been tuned to clear frequencies.
NOTE: SmartTune is only available using the LCD
and front panel controls. It is not implemented in
the software.
1. Navigate to the SmrtTun setup screen and press
the MENU/SELECT control.
2. Press the Receiver Select Button for the module
you wish to tune and scanning will begin.
When the full spectrum has been scanned, the cur-
sor will stop moving and blink briefly on the newly
selected frequency briefly.
3. The display will then switch back to the receiver se-
lection screen and ask if you want to tune another
module.
4. If you select Yes the display will remind you to turn
on the transmitter for the receiver you just tuned.
When the transmitter is turned on and detected, the
display will return to receiver selection (Step 2) and
prompt you to select the next receiver.
5, Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all receiver modules
that will be used.
In most cases the system will be ready to use after
SmartTune has been run on all modules, however, it’s
a good idea to perform a system checkout to verify
the compatibility of the frequencies selected. Refer to
the section entitled Diagnostics near the back of this
manual for details.
Finding Clear Channels with Tuning
Groups a through d
Groups “a” though “d” contain 8 frequencies each that
can be used together in certain combinations. In brief,
“a” and “b” are compatible with each and “c” and “d”
are compatible with each. Other combinations require
testing. Refer to the section entitled Pre-coordinated
Frequencies for details on using these groups.
To use groups a through d, complete the following
steps:
1. Navigate to the Tuning setup screen.
2. Select each module in turn with the Receiver Select
Buttons and select the desired tuning group. Then
return to the overview screen.
3. Turn transmitters off. From the overview screen,
open the receiver detail screen for each module
and rotate the MENU/SELECT control to select a
frequency where no RF signal is indicated.
Finding Clear Channels
Using Full Spectrum Scan
In crowded RF environments, it may not be possible to
find enough clear channels using a Tuning Group. The
internal spectrum scanner can then be used to find
clear channels manually across the entire tuning range
of the receiver in 100 kHz steps.
1. Turn off all transmitters and set all receiver modules
to the NORMAL tuning mode (not a tuning group).
2. Select Scan from the TopMenu and press the
MENU/SELECT control.
