Afterwards, the application can initialize the DECT PHY interface by calling the :c:func:`nrf_modem_dect_phy_init` function.
Upon successful initialization, both the DECT PHY interface and DECT NR+ physical layer in the modem are ready for operation.

The very first time the DECT PHY interface is initialized on a nRF9131 SiP, the DECT NR+ PHY firmware locks the calibration data preventing any changes to it.
On nRF9151 Series devices only, the application can configure band 4 support during initialization by setting the :c:member:`nrf_modem_dect_phy_init_params.band4_support` field to ``1``.

.. note::
DECT NR+ band 4 is supported by the nRF9151 LACA A0 SiP for R&D evaluation purposes.
The nRF9151 LACA A0AB SiP will be qualified for DECT NR+ band 4 support.

When operating on band 4, you must not use the carries outside the range of 525 to 551 as they interfere with other radio devices, including LTE devices.

On nRF9131 Series devices only, the DECT NR+ PHY firmware locks the calibration data the very first time the DECT PHY interface is initialized.

The DECT PHY interface can be de-initialized, which in turn de-initializes the physical layer in the modem, cancelling all scheduled operations.
