3.3  Selecting the RF Output Level

 

 

The HDX-1100 recalls the most recently saved RF output power level when it is powered up. To 
select between high or low power for the RF output level, do the following: 

 

1.   Press the 

RF HI/LOW 

key. 

2.   Press 

RF HI/LOW 

key to toggle between HI or LOW RF output level. 

3.   Press the 

SAVE 

key to select the new RF Power output setting. If the 

SAVE 

key is not 

pressed within 5 seconds, the RF output level returns to the most recently used value 
and the selection mode is canceled.
