The normal operating channel should be selected using the 
internal DIP switch, SW401. The radio channel may also be 
selected by serial commands, but the radio will always power up 
on the channel selected by the DIP switch. 

1.

  Remove the four screws securing the top cover and remove the top cover. 

2.

  Set the DIP switch for binary channel selection according to the chart 

above, i.e. channel 1 is all switches off, channel 16 is all switches on. 

3.

  Replace the top cover and secure with the four screws. 

Status LED 

The LED on the top cover indicates the status of the data radio. 
If a speaker has been connected to pin 9 of the radio interface 
connector, audible tones can be heard indicating certain 
conditions.
