TIPS & TROUBLE SHOOTING
Snow on the Monitor
If there is snow or noise on your monitor this is a good indication that the receiver is receiving a weak signal.
To correct an image that has a lot of noise (snow) a number of things can be done.
•
Move the transmitter and receiver closer together.
•
Eliminate obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.
•
Add a high gain antenna to the receiver end to increase receive sensitivity.
•
Use a higher output power transmitter.
Interference
We strongly recommend that you always conduct a temporary setup of any wireless equipment before
systems are permanently mounted. As we are sharing a radio frequency that is considered part of the public
band, we do not have any entitlement to that frequency and must accept interference if it exists.
Examples of RF Interference
•
Other 5.8GHz video transmitters in your area.
•
5.8GHz wireless data network, LAN or WAN.
•
Proximity to some consumer products may be a source of interference. Examples include cordless
phones, consumer data transceivers for wireless internet, and Bluetooth devices.
Other Examples of Interference Not Related to Wireless
•
Improper line-of-sight, installation or alignment of transmitters and receivers.
•
Power source ground loops.
•
Incorrect voltages to devices (too high or too low), including transmitters and receivers.
•
Sharing power supplies between devices.
•
Power source is too close to video cable, low impedance, coax cable kinks, poor video cable
terminations, improper and/or lengthy power source cabling.
•
Corresponding transmitter and receiver sets are on different channels.
