Notes

LF-X1/LF-X5 can operate in the 5120 - 5250 MHz frequency band (the channels are 36, 40, 44, 48). It is limited by the FCC, Industry Canada and some other countries to indoor use only.

When you have selected [Manual channel setting], do not use the channels (36, 40, 44, 48) that appear under “This channel cannot be used outdoors.”

Only use channels 149, 153, 157, and 161 when operating the monitor near the base station, such as in the same room.
