battery power has been lost stored images will retain the correct time and date stamp however
time and date settings will need to be corrected before starting further recording sessions.

where recording is not required.

 Avoid locating GuardCam WF receivers in close proximity to sources of electrical energy or wire
free transmissions.

Try to avoid locations where the line will travel along the length of a wall or other solid object
rather than directly through it.
