indoors and about 200 m outdoors. Please note this range may be shorter when
the key finder is near concrete barriers, etc.
Operating tips

point the handset upwards to search higher floors and then point the handset
downwards to search lower floors in order to check the search level. Then, start
your search from the room which shows the highest search level with the doors
closed.
