possible due to noise or multi-path phasing etc. This should be fully considered when using the TCON network.
 If the TCON is installed in a line-of-sight distance where there are no obstacles or on the upper floors,
unexpected long distance transmission may occur which may cause interference with nearby medical
institution. Before using the TCON system, test the reception to make sure that it does not interfere with other
channels. If the channel is used by other medical institution, change the channel ID.
 Do not install the TCON system in an area where it will be subject to splashing water. Water entering the
equipment may cause the equipment to malfunction or be damaged.
