OME THINGS TO REMEMBER
:
Range is dependent on the installation, type of building,
type of door and the location of the transmitter. When these
conditions change so will the distance.
Any transmitter can interfere with operation. These include
cell phones, cordless phones, wireless systems and CB and
mobile transmitters. Other sources of interference include
computer equipment, industrial equipment, electric motors,
fluorescent lights, etc. The list is endless.
Do not lengthen or shorten the receiver antenna. It is set to
an optimal length based on the frequency of operation.
If the antenna is blocked or shielded (such as a car traveling
through a tunnel) the distance will decrease.
Always change the Factory set codes.
