WIRELESS TRANSMISSION
Environmental factors and signals from other household devices, such as
remote entry controls, security systems, and computers, may interfere with
the wireless transmission of this product and cause temporary reception
loss. This is normal and does not affect the general performance of this
product. Stable reception will resume once the interference ends.
For optimal performance:
• Place the receiver and remote transmitter side by side about 1 metre
apart, and allow the receiver and remote transmitter to synchronize for 10
minutes before you place the remote transmitter outdoors.
• The remote transmitter should be placed in a dry shaded area.
NOTE: Fog andmist will not harm the remote transmitter but direct rain
must be avoided.
• Mount the remote transmitter upright avoiding metallic objects and
frames, such as window sills. Verify that there are no obstacles like a
transmission tower or steep hill that can cause interference and blockage
between the remote transmitter and receiver.
• Place the receiver unit at least 2 metres away from any electrical devices,
such as your television set, computer, cordless phone, or any radio controlled equipment.
• 1Replace unit(s) with fresh batteries when the Low Battery Indicator lights
up.
• Refer to the SETTING UP section.
• You may need to reposition the remote transmitter to a different location
and/or closer to the receiver for the best transmission.
