Place your receiver near a power outlet, and up to 30 meters (approximately

objects emitting radio frequencies, for example, a radio or cordless phone.

NOTE

Signal quality between the transmitter and receiver may be
affected by any object or structure (for example, multiple walls)
that is between the units. Experiment with different positions if
necessary.
