When enough messages have been observed, a link strength
will be shown on the display. >>>>> indicates the strongest link,
while > indicates the weakest link. The Link Test will continue to
be evaluated and the rating on the screen may adjust itself.
Keep in mind that the longer the Link Test runs the more data
the Transmitter will have to evaluate.
The Transmitter installation site should strive to place the
Transmitter in a location where it receives the highest number
possible. A stronger link means less data re-transmits and better
battery life.
