Placing Center and Station

IMPORTANT!
– Install your Center and Station near
the AC outlet and where the AC power
plug can be reached easily.
Take the following steps to optimize the
Wi-Fi connection between Center and
Station:
– Keep your Center and Station away
from the source of interference (wireless
routers, microwave ovens, DECT phones,
bluetooth devices, cordless phones,
other Wi-Fi products, etc.)
– Avoid placing your Center or Station
close to the plasma TV. It may result in
improper display on your Center's 2-way
remote control.
– Keep Stations adequately apart or in
different angles (e.g. in different rooms
blocked by one wall). Within a distance
and angle (e.g. in the same room), your
Center's remote control is powerful
enough to simultaneously operate
several Stations, which may also result in
improper display on the 2-way remote
control.
