•Do not position the unit where sunlight can shine (whether directly, diffused or reflected) on its display as the infra-red (IR) radiation in sunlight will be picked up by the unit’s IR remote sensor and this can adversely affect its operation. Similarly, some electrical devices such as plasma TVs, fluorescent lights and energy saving lamps can emit IR which can likewise affect the operation.
