scanned from the bar coded FULL ASCII MENU. You must press ENTER
on the RF Terminal keypad when you are finished entering all 3 characters.
• If a Security Code is set on the Base Station, only Terminals with the
matching Security Code will be able to communicate with the Base. A RF
Terminal working on the same frequency as the Base Station but without the
same Security Code is ignored by the Base. Conversely, Base transmissions
to a Terminal without the correct Security Code will be ignored.
• Once set, Security Codes are only visible in the Base Station Setup - they
are not visible in the RF Terminal setup once you have entered them. If you
forget which Security Code you need to use, you must look at the Base
setup.

• Changing the Frequency Bank is only recommended when more than 16
Base Stations are being used.
• The Frequency Bank applies only to the US, Canada and Mexico versions
(DLC9.nnn) of the RF Terminal and Base Station. This setting allows the
available frequencies to increase from 16 to 80. This can only be used in
situations where Relay Stations are not being used. If you switch the
Frequency Bank on the Base Station, you must change it on the RF
Terminal also. Not only must the Frequency Bank match on both the
Terminal and Base, but so must the Frequency selected.
• Switching banks (to anything other than 0) is rarely needed. Additional
banks were added to accommodate merchandise marts where many
businesses are located under the same roof. This allows each business to
operate on a separate frequency, maintaining privacy and avoiding
interference from the other businesses also using RF Terminals.
• Relays are supported only on Bank 0.
