Choose Central Controller

Location

Precautions

Choosing the appropriate location for the Central Controller is critical to the proper functioning of the system.

The Central Controller should be installed in the center of all the transmitters, not necessarily in the middle of the house. It should not be placed near any large metal objects, nor in the range of appliances that generate RF interference.

Typical appliances that may be sources of RF interference are:

. Personal computers and their modems.

. Electronic Telephones, Telephone Controllers and Accessories

. Electronic Lamp Dimmers and Lighting Control Panels

. Baby Monitors

In general, attention should be given to any device which could be considered computer-like or digitally-controlled.

In the presence of these types of devices, use the following precautions:

. Keep at least 6 feet between the source of the interference and the Central Controller.

. Do not group the power and telephone cords of the interference source with the power cord/antenna for the Central Controller.

. Avoid using the same power outlet for the Central Controller and interfering equipment.

In some cases, interference may be generated from outside of the home. Installers should note nearby:

.	Airport
.	Television, public service, and radio towers
.	Large neighborhood antennas
.	Paper mills

AT&T should be notified in the event that the performance of the system is being degraded by an outside source of RF interference.
