WH31 has 8 channels. I have 7 used.
If I replace the batteries in unit #3 the ID changes.
If you have any unused channels, replacing the batteries CAN result in the device taking another ID. If you have 7 of 8 in use, disable the one that is not in use, and then the only way a battery change could result in a new ID is if one of the others was unregistered at the time of the battery change.
A device CANNOT take the ID of a disabled channel nor of a channel in use by another device.
I'm confused.
Channel #8 is disabled. And that wouldn't matter anyway since the WH31 is configured to transmit on channel #3 ONLY (its not random).
The actual device ID that registers in channel #3 changes.
Say it was F7, then after a battery swap and re-register its now C3.
Still channel #3 mind you.
