only from the master to which it is bound. The binding code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use the same
binding code. After binding your MultiHop radios to the master radio, make note of the binding code displayed under the *DVCFG menu, -
BIND submenu on the LCD. Knowing the binding code prevents having to re-bind all radios if the master is ever replaced.
1. Apply power to all MultiHop radios and place the MultiHop radios configured as slaves or repeaters at least two meters away from the
master radio.
2. Put the MultiHop master radio into binding mode.

For the two LED/button models, both LEDs flash red and the LCD shows *BINDNG and *MASTER. For single LED/button models,
the LED flashes alternatively red and green.
3. Put the MultiHop repeater or slave radio into binding mode.

The child radio enters binding mode and searches for any Master radio in binding mode. While searching for the Master radio, the
two red LEDs flash alternately. When the child radio finds the Master radio and is bound, both red LEDs are solid for four seconds,
then both red LEDs flash simultaneously four times. For M-GAGE Nodes, both colors of the single LED are solid (looks orange), then
flash. After the slave/repeater receives the binding code transmitted by the master, the slave and repeater radios automatically exit
binding mode.
4. Repeat step 3 for as many slave or repeater radios as are needed for your network.
5. When all MultiHop radios are bound, exit binding mode on the master.

All radio devices begin to form the network after the master data radio exits binding mode.
Child Radios Synchronize to the Parent Radios
The synchronization process enables a SureCross radio to join a wireless network formed by a master radio. After power-up, synchroni-
zation may take a few minutes to complete. First, all radios within range of the master data radio wirelessly synchronize to the master
radio. These radios may be slave radios or repeater radios.
After repeater radios are synchronized to the master radio, any radios that are not in sync with the master but can "hear" the repeater
radio will synchronize to the repeater radios. Each repeater "family" that forms a wireless network path creates another layer of synchro-
nization process. The table below details the process of synchronization with a parent. When testing the devices before installation, verify
the radio devices are at least two meters apart or the communications may fail.
Slave and Repeater LED Behavior
All bound radios set to slave or repeater modes follow this LED behavior after powering up.
