Communication Test

Before finding a permanent location for your Em50R, perform a com-
munication test to verify the quality of the radio communication.
Make sure to properly configure and power the DataStation during
your communication test.
In your field area, connect your Em50R to either a laptop or handheld
device using the appropriate cable and press connect. Ensure that
your radio channel, Subchannel, and transmit mode are the same as
your DataStation. Choose "Communication Test" from the Actions
menu.(Figure 14)
