Points worth bearing in mind!
• Other wireless equipment operating on the same frequency band may
reduce the range of the product.
• The range of all wireless equipment is affected by obstacles between
the transmitter and the receiver (a concrete wall reduces the signal far
more than a plasterboard partition, for example).
If you are having problems with the operation of the system,
try the following solutions
• Switch off any other wireless equipment to check whether it could be
causing the problem.
• Move the wireless equipment and/or reduce the distance, and reduce
thenumber of obstacles (walls, furniture, etc.) between the transmitter
andthe receiver.
