Controller
Controller doesn't communicate with the mixer
The RF Controller performs best when the RAV mixer is positioned within line of sight and with the antenna pointed up. Check the signal strength indicator in all areas of the room where the controller will be used.The signal strength indicator is on the LCD screen and the maximum number of bars is four.
For optimal RF connectivity, make sure the signal strength measures two or four bars in all operating locations. You can also use the RF Radio Test function on the Controller for a more detailed signal strength measurement. Refer to page 59 for more information.
