Initial Kit Testing Using the Range Test Function
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Range Test Function
The 902-928 MHz kit can also be range tested in frequency hopping spread spectrum
(FHSS) mode. On each board, press the MODE button four times. After the forth press,
the MODE LED will illuminate green-yellow. Then on one board, briefly press and
release the RANGE button. The RANGE LED will illuminate continuously. This is the
