Things to consider:
• Other wireless equipment using thesame frequency can reduce
thetransmission range.
• The range of all wireless equipment depends on thetype of obstacles located
between thetransmitter and thereceiver (e.g. aconcrete wall will interfere with
thesignal more than aplasterboard wall).
If you experience problems, try thefollowing:
• Turn off any other existing wireless equipment and check if this is thecause of
theproblem.
• Reposition thewireless equipment, shorten thedistance between thesending
and receiving devices or reduce thenumber of obstacles (walls, furniture, etc.)
between them.

calibrated quartz clock movement with afrequency of 32 kHz that keeps it running.
