– Keep the transmitter and receiver at close range for 60 seconds after powering on
the devices, allowing them to scan for and select the best wireless channel .
– For best results when using multiple Paralinx Ace in the same area, place the
transmitters and receivers a few feet apart from each other.
– Operation of other wireless equipment may interfere with the Paralinx Ace. For best
results, separate other wireless transmitters and receivers as much as possible.
– Mount the Paralinx Ace transmitter vertically, keeping the antennas clear of any
obstructions.
– Orient the transmitter and receiver so they are parallel to each other.

the transmitter.
