equipment (CD players, computers, etc.).
• Place the receiver in such a way that is far from a wall and that is at least
1 meter (about 3 feet) above the floor.
• Cell phones, two-way radio equipment or similar devices may disturb
the radio transmission between the transmitter and the receiver, so they
should not be used close to the transmission system.
