You should test each device you have enrolled to ensure good signal strength between
the devices and the RF4164-433 receiver. Follow the instructions in this section to
test wireless devices which use zones, wireless keys and handheld keypads.
If several wireless devices produce BAD test results, you may need to move the RF4164-433 to a
better location (see section 2.3 for tips on finding a location for the RF4164-433 module).
