Select SIGNAL STRENGTH on the third menu screen and verify the wireless signal strength.
Install the unit in a location where the signal strength is at least -100 dBm. If you are unable
to get a reading of at least -100 dBm, check for obstructions between the Assembly Qualifier

4 screw holes, mount the Assembly Qualifier securely so that it will not fall off the wall. The
Assembly Qualifier may cause injury if it falls from the installation location.
