NSTALLATION

 

The instructions below will take you through the process required to install the 
transmitter and receiver.

 

Choosing a Location for Transmitter and Receiver

 

The range of the radio transmission depends on several factors. Try to position 
the transmitter and the receiver as close as possible for best results.

Typical maximum ranges:

 

 

Line of Sight: 400 feet (120 m)

 

 

Through Walls and Ceilings: 100 to 200 feet (30 to 60 m)

 

 

Through Trees and Foliage: 100 to 200 feet (30 to 60 m)

 

As you position your console, be aware of possible interference from cordless 
phones and other items.  To prevent interference, maintain a distance of 10 feet 
between the console  and the cordless phone (handset and base).  Also, for best 
reception, avoid  positioning the console near large metallic surfaces (e.g., most 
refrigerator surfaces).

 

Installing Transmitter and Receiver 

 

Install the transmitter in an attic or garage, or in one of Davis’s weatherproof 
shelters.

 

1. Remove the cables from your existing junction box.

 

We recommend that you label the end of each cable as you disconnect it. 
This will help you identify the cables when attaching them to the transmit-
ter.
