Important Notes on Use
Specifications
Usage and Storage
• Operating the UWP-D series devices near electrical
equipment (motors, transformers, or dimmers) may
cause interference due to electromagnetic induction.
Keep the devices as far from such equipment as
possible.
• The presence of lighting equipment may produce
electrical interference over a wide frequency range. In
this case, interference may fluctuate with the position of
the receiver antenna and position of the transmitter.
Position the devices so that interference is minimized.
• To avoid degradation of the signal to noise ratio, do not
use UWP-D devices in noisy places or in locations
subject to vibration, such as the following:
– Near electrical equipment, such as motors,
transformers, or dimmers
– Near air conditioning equipment or places subject to
direct air flow from an air conditioner
– Near PA (public address) loudspeakers
– Near equipment that might knock against the receiver
Keep devices as far from such equipment as possible or
use buffering material.
Cleaning
Clean the surface and the connectors of devices with a
dry, soft cloth. Never use thinners, benzene, alcohol, or
any other chemicals, since these may mar the finish.
To prevent electromagnetic interference
Some channels may be unable to be used due to noise
generated due to the effects of external noise and/or
radio interference. In this case, it is recommended to
stop transmitting (turn the power off) or change to
another frequency (change channel).
To prevent electromagnetic interference from
portable communication devices
The use of portable telephones and other
communication devices near the devices may result in
