3.3 Advanced Functions
3.3.1 Link Quality Indicator
The LQI represents the wireless signal index and can assist the user to install the
ADAM-2000 devices in proper location for good communication quality. The LQI
function is only available for Router and End Devices. Press the Function Button
once and the Level Index in the front panel will turn on to indicate the level of LQI.
3.3.2 Battery Level
All ADAM-2000 devices are all designed to be used with batteries. Users can install
two AA Alkaline batteries for extended operation or back-up power. Press the Func-
tion Button twice and the Level Index in the front panel will turn on to indicate the
level of battery power./
3.3.3 Associating Devices
