Digital Hybrid Wireless™ Modular Receiver System
Rio Rancho, NM, USA 15
CUSTOM MODE is a special mode used to store up to
50 frequencies per block in 25 kHz steps. Frequencies
are stored in memory in a “table” with positions num-
bered 0 through 49. The pilot tone frequency is defined
by the position of each frequency in the table.
NOTE: Custom Mode would require
programming from a factory authorized service
center for proper operation
The Receiver Detail window will indicate the selected
mode and frequency information. In the FINE mode
transmitter switch settings will be shown when the
frequency is on an even 100 kHz step. In the CUSTOM
mode the position of the frequency in the table of 50
stored in memory will be shown.

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” each contain 8 frequencies that
can be used together in certain combinations. Grou-
ps “a” and “b” are compatible with each other and “c”
and “d” are compatible with each. Other combinations
require testing. To use groups a through d, complete the
following steps:
