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.
