IMPORTANT !!!
Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in portable
wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
•
For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations
as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
•
A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by
radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
•
Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
•
Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference
or fault.
•
A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale
distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
