To find an AP/station using audible sounds as a guide, press
up on the joystick to enter the “Geiger-counter” screen. The
colors will approach white when nearing and/or pointing

Security Screen
To go to the security screen, press the security icon from the
main screen. The screen shown will appear. You may enter a
list of AP’s that are authorized (up to 1000) to be a part of the

pressing the ‘ADD’ button. Press ‘DEL’ to delete an entry from
the list after highlighting that entry. Press ‘CLR<--’ to clear the
authorized list.
An authorized list can be generated from the Yellowjacketplus

channel mode in the AP List section. Then, once all of the AP’s
have been located, go back into the security screen. Press the
‘GENERATE’ button. All of the AP’s(stations) will be transferred
into the authorized list.
When the security mode is enabled from the menu bar in the
AP/STA mode, APs and STAtions which aren’t in the autho-
rized list will be put in the unauthorized list and a warning
message will appear.
An AP/station can be moved over to the authorized list by
pressing the ‘ADD’ button. To clear the unauthorized list, press
the ‘CLR-->’ button.
A list of AP’s can be saved and retrieved from/to the authorized
(auth.lst) and unauthorized (unauth.lst) lists by choosing the
save/retrieve options from the root directory of the Pocket
PC.
