When certain types of electronic light ballasts become defective they may radiate broadband noise, which can interfere with wireless devices. While interference issues are unlikely with the Primex Wireless Clock System, high levels of noise present in the 72-76MHz range could potentially cause clocks which are located far from the transmitter and also within the close proximity of these ballasts to not receive a signal.
