Observe the IRR-4S LED while
performing all the tests. It is pos-
sible to have interference from
more than one source.
There are many methods for
reducing interference. Which
solution is best for you depends
on your situation. Contact Niles

tance.
If the LED on the IRR-4S "flickers"
dimly, and the IRR-4S functions
normally, there is no cause for
concern.
