After setting a channel in the setting screen, restart the ➥

AP-90M. The AP-90M will then search for a weather ra-

dar’s signal for approximately 1 minute.

While searching for a signal, [WIRELESS 1 or 2] will blink,

and access to the AP-90M will be paused.

When a weather radar’s signal is detected, the operating

channel automatically changes to a different channel to

avoid the interference.

The DFS function pauses on the new channel, if the chan- ➥

nel does not require the DFS.
