Installation:
The range of radio control is limited by laws regulating radio devices and by building design. When planning, please ensure that there is adequate radio
reception.
In order not to affect quality of reception, a minimum distance of 30 cm between a Chronis RTS/RTS L unit and a radio receiver should be maintained.
Chronis RTS/RTS L should not be installed in the immediate vicinity of metal surfaces. Powerful local transmitter equipment (e.g. cordless headphones)
with a transmission frequency identical to the Chronis RTS/RTS L can affect its function.
2.1 Assembly
The equipment is delivered with the batteries installed.
An insulating strip is placed between the battery pole and the contact.
This must be removed before installation, then the time is shown on the display.
Tip: Before assembly, check that there is adequate radio reception at the intended location.
