• If a connection was made, the wireless handheld will be
operating in Connect mode. Refer to the application-
specic sections for operation details.
• If a connection could not be made, refer to
Section 17:
Troubleshooting (p�36) for information about how to
resolve the problem.
Signal Strength Indicator
Once a connection has been made, the top line of the LCD
will show the signal strength (Figure 10). This indicator shows the
approximate signal strength of the network connection. Each
successive bar indicates an additional level of signal strength
between the handheld and Base Station.
When no bars or 1 bar is visible, the connection to the wireless network is likely to be
limited, and the console may occasionally fail to respond. To improve signal strength,
move within range of the Base Station, and remove any obstacles located between the
Base Station and handheld controller if possible. For more information, refer to Section 2:
RC-200 System Overview (p�4).
