Range of Use
The wireless transmitter uses RF (Radio Frequency) waves
to transmit the signal to the receiver. As a result the
effective distance can vary greatly depending upon the
environmental conditions, including walls, obstructions, etc.
In addition, wireless networks, cell phone towers, and some
cordless phone systems can interfere with the signal. If the
effective range if decreased due to environmental conditions
try another location. This is not considered a defect.
As the batteries weaken, your effective range may
decrease. Try using fresh batteries.
Deactivating the Unit
• To turn off the power on the receiver, press the orange
button once. The red LED will stop blinking. There is no
on/off power switch on the transmitter.
• If the unit will not be used for some time, remove the
batteries.
Activating the Units
