*If the following kinds of electrical appliances are located near the PA100 Master or PA100 Terminal, or the following connections are used, the signal may be obstructed and the transmission speed may be reduced: vacuum cleaners, dryers, electric drills, and other appliances with electric motors (only when the appliances are being operated); lighting equipment such as touch-sensor lights and halogen dimmer lights, or compact battery chargers for cell phones and other devices (when they are connected to the same power outlet as the PA100); connection of the PA100 to a power outlet with multiple loads, or to a power strip; or transmission to extremely distant rooms.
