Manual Channel Selection is recommended. It tells the Obey™ 40 D-Fi 2.4 which channel to use for
D-Fi™ transmission. To use Manual Channel Selection for configuring D-Fi™, do the following:
1. Turn on all the other D-Fi™ products and set them all to the same channel. For instructions on
how to do this see each product's User Manual.
2. Turn off the Obey™ 40 D-Fi 2.4.
3. Set the board to the same channel as the products by setting the DIP switches. For more
information, see DIP Switch
4. Make sure DIP switch 6 is in the ON position.
5. Turn on the Obey™ 40 D-Fi 2.4. The Signal LED shows a fast blink.
Auto-Sync Channel Selection triggers a negotiation between the Obey™ 40 D-Fi 2.4 and all the
other D-Fi™ products to settle on a channel for D-Fi™ transmission. To use Auto-Sync for
configuring D-Fi™, do the following:
1. Turn on all the other D-Fi™ products and set them to Auto-Sync. For instructions on how to do
this see each product's User Manuals.
2. Turn off the Obey™ 40 D-Fi 2.4.
3. Set the board to Auto-Sync by setting DIP switch 5 to the OFF position.

when the board is communicating with the other products.
