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 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.

When operating on band 4, the carries outside of the [525, 551] range shall not be used as they interfere with other radio devices, including LTE devices.

On nRF9131 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.

-----------------

The DECT radio band is divided into different channels, as described in chapter 5.2 of `ETSI TS 103 636-2`_.

The absolute radio channel frequency used for transmission is controlled by the :c:member:`nrf_modem_dect_phy_tx_params.carrier` field on the transmission parameters.

.. note::
The DECT PHY firmware supports band 4 operation on nRF9151 LACA A0 SiP only.

.. important::
Follow the local regulations when transmitting.
To see which frequency channels can be used:

* In the European Union, you must refer to table 4.3.2.3-2 of `ETSI EN 301 406-2`_.
* In the USA, you must refer to `47 CFR Part 15.323`_.
* In all other territories, you must follow the local regulations.

When operating on band 4, the carries outside of the [525, 551] range shall not be used as they interfere with other radio devices, including LTE devices.
