VoiceLift System with PVS 405D Installation Guide • Introduction
Lighting, fluorescent or incandescent — Keep the receiver at least 2 feet
(61 centimeters) away from a light source. Do not place the receiver where light can
shine directly into it.
Sunlight — Place the receiver at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away from windows and
skylights. If this is not possible, cover windows and skylights with curtains, blinds, or
other covering options.
Plasma displays — Avoid placing plasma displays in close proximity to the
microphone system.
Electrical equipment — Take placement of electrical equipment such as power
lines or supplies, projectors, dimmers, and computers into consideration, as these
could interfere with the IR signal.
Cellular phones — Keep cell phones at least 2 feet (61 centimeters) away from
both the receiver and the microphone.
Other IR devices — Take placement of other IR devices such as assistive listening
devices or IR remote controls into consideration, as these could interfere with the IR
signal.
