Frequently asked questions

Answer
The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside
your house the workable range is limited by the amount
and type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the
house the operating range will be up to 50 meters /
150 feet.
You are probably approaching the outer limits of the
practical range.Try a different location or decrease the
distance slightly. Please note that it takes about 30 seconds
each time before a new link between the units is
established.
When batteries are installed in the both units, the units will
automatically switch over to battery use in case of mains
failure.
The 120 channels guarantee no interference from other
equipment.
Except for the On/Off buttons (A-1, B-6), only press the
buttons briefly.
