3.10 The monitoring function Radio Interference
The receivers are monitoring their frequency permanently. An interference is present if an external
carrier with a signal strength of more than 30% in respect to 100% maximum signal strength of the
system is present for more than 45 seconds.
By stepping through the menu with the magnetic pen the warning 'Radio Interference' will be cleared.
The device is always ready for use even if you do not clear this warning message.

3.11 The function 'Reset to defaults'
Sometimes it comes in handy to program the device to the default settings. To achieve this proceed
this way:
1. Switch on the device
2. Activate the sensor field 'Mode' while the start messages are being displayed until you see the
following display:
'RI' stands for 'Radio Interference' and is flashing in the display. If the
display backlight has been activated the display will be illuminated
periodically, too. In this case it is advisable to check if the receiver has been
installed close to a strong source of interference. Therefore, enter the menu
item 'Interfering Signal' and check if there is a higher value all the time.
If you switch on a receiver while the transmitter is in the firing mode the
receiver will display the warning message 'Radio interference' soon. The
PFS Profi, PFS Pocket and the PFC Advanced are transmitting
continuously (i.e. they are active carriers) if they are in the firing mode. If
you change from normal mode to firing mode the controllers are telling
the receivers that a continuous and intended transmission will follow. If a
receiver has been switched on after this or was in the menu while this
signal has been sent it will interpret the signal of the own transmitter as
an interfering signal.
You can select another frequency in the submenu of the device if the
used radio channel is busy or if there is an interference. Of course, you
have to select the same frequency also at the controller and all other
receivers (only possible with Advanced series).
Using the controller PFC Advanced or the PFM Advanced USB Radio
Modem the warning 'Radio Interference' and the level of interference can
even be checked remotely.
By activation of 'Up' the device is set to defaults. You will enter the receiving
mode without anything being changed by 'Down' or 'Mode'.
If you have selected 'Yes' in the previous request you will see this
acknowledgement message in the display for some seconds. Afterwards
the device switches to receiving mode automatically.
