Visiting next door.
If you visit your neighbour your radio pendant will probably not be
able to communicate with your Telecom. This is because the radio signal will have to travel
through two walls and over quite a distance. You can always try it if you wish, but do not
rely upon it working once you are away from your home.
Going to the shops.
Your radio pendant will almost certainly be out of range of your
Telecom if you take it to the shops. Your radio pendant will not work once you are away
from your home.
In the bathroom.
You may want to take
your radio pendant into the bathroom, and
it should work just as well in this room as
it does in any other. However, not all radio
pendants are waterproof, and so you must
avoid dropping it in the bath or the sink. You
must not take it into the shower (although
you might want it close to the shower in case
you fall). Your radio pendant may also be
damaged by steam or high levels of humidity
in your bathroom, and so if you are going
to have a steamy bath then consider putting
your radio pendant inside a waterproof plastic bag.
How do I know that my pendant will not set off the Telecom owned by my
friend next door?
Each radio pendant has its own unique number (a sort of signature). Your Telecom will only
act when it gets a signal from the pendant that has the correct signature. In other words, it
will only obey commands from radio pendants that belong to it.

How does a radio pendant know which Telecom 400 to communicate with?
