Placing Center and Station

IMPORTANT!

–Install your Center and Station near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

Take the following steps to optimize the Wi-Fi connection between Center and Station:

–Keep your Center and Station away

from the source of interference (wireless routers, microwave ovens, DECT phones, bluetooth devices, cordless phones, other Wi-Fi products, etc.)

–Avoid placing your Center or Station close to the plasma TV. It may result in improper display on your Center’s 2-way remote control.

–Keep Stations adequately apart or in different angles (e.g. in different rooms blocked by one wall). Within a distance and angle (e.g. in the same room), your Center’s remote control is powerful enough to simultaneously operate several Stations, which may also result in improper display on the 2-way remote control.
