The next time you turn on your unit, you will see an "r"
momentarily, after which the scan process will begin. To
manually select a channel for operation, press the CHANNEL
button until the desired channel is displayed.
With AutoRover the PDL Rover scans each programmed
operating frequency, looking for a signal from the PDL Base.
When a signal is found, the PDL Rover selects that channel for
operation.

Caution: Multiple PDL Base stations operating in a
single area may lead to the PDL Rover selecting the
wrong base. In such circumstances, we recommend
manually selecting the channel.
How to Use AutoBase™
AutoBase is a feature that allows the PDL Base to automatically
select a channel based on a channel selection algorithm. These
features can be selectively turned off to allow you to manually
select the channel of operation on both the PDL Base and
Rover.
To enable AutoBase, press the CHANNEL button on the PDL
Base until a "b" is displayed. After selecting "b", you will note
that the display will flash each programmed channel for
approximately 1 minute, during which time the channel is
analyzed for background noise and co-channel interference.
After cycling through all channels, the PDL Base will select the
channel that appears to provide the clearest channel access.
