Appendix I. Phone to RF401 Series

If there is a neighboring RF401 network, you should change the

Hopping Sequence of base and remote RF401s to a new setting to

avoid interference.

- RX LED Test -

To determine if there is a neighboring RF401 network in operation

using the same hopping sequence as yours, stop communications on

your network and observe RF401 green LEDs for activity. At this

point, any green LED activity would indicate that there is a nearby

network using the same hopping sequence.
