MOUNTING
– Keep the transmitter and receiver a few feet apart 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 Tomahawk2 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 Tomahawk2. For best
results, separate other wireless transmitters and receivers as much as possible.
– Mount the Tomahawk2 transmitter vertically, keeping the antennas clear of any
obstructions.
– Orient the transmitter and receiver so they are parallel to each other.
– For best results, orient the receiver so the front or back has clear line-of-sight to
the transmitter.
