in the USA and Canada. The Channel for the RF Laser Reader is set

• All Lasers and associated Base Station must be set to the same

channel. If you have more than one RF Laser per Base Station, you

must set a unique ID in each RF Laser. (See SET ID.)

Appendix A for information on changing the channel on the Base

from the shipped default channel of 0.

For example, data of 1234 would be transmitted as *1234*.

Enabling the Mod 43 Check Digit requires the units position of your data to

match the calculation for the check digit explained in Appendix C.
