About Installing Wireless Devices

When installing wireless communication devices take special care in selecting locations so as to ensure proper communication. Note that even after a successful installation, due to changes in environmental conditions, communication errors may occur when restarting the system.

As far as possible, try to keep wireless communication devices away from metals and set them up in high unobstructed positions.

• Please take note that in many instances, walls, floors, stairs, fences and desks will contain metals. In order to carry out communication between indoor and outdoor units, please locate indoor units near a window so that radio waves can be easily transmitted.
• Please install these devices at least 30 cm away from walls or boards containing metal.
• If wireless communication devices are placed in a metal container such as a freezer or refrigerator, the possible wireless communication range will be shortened. In most cases radio waves are transmitted via doors and door openings so place devices as near to doors as possible.

As far as possible, keep the devices away from noise-emitting sources.

• Some industrial instruments, electronic devices (such as computers) and fluorescent lights generate noise. Please place units more than 1 meter away from such devices.
• Keep all wires as far away from wireless communication devices as possible. Please be careful about placing near any wiring or cables such as power supply cables, telephone wires or LAN cables.

Objects which contain lots of water, such as plants or soil, absorb radio waves. We highly recommend that such materials should not be placed between or near wireless communication devices.

• When measuring temperature in a greenhouse it has been reported that as plants grew, communication errors also increased.
• Do not place the device directly on the ground.

Do not place devices which are using the same communication frequency channel in the same area.

• If the same channel is used for multiple devices, not only will more communication errors occur, but battery life will also be shortened.
• If there is a possibility that devices with the same frequency channel will be in wireless communication at the same time, please make changes to the frequency channels so they are not the same.

Safety Precautions and Instructions

The following items should be strictly obeyed for the safe usage of the product, and for protecting yourself and other people from bodily harm and/or damage to property. Before use, please carefully read and follow the safety precautions outlined below.

• Make sure that the cable and AC adaptor are inserted fully, so as not to cause an improper connection. Also, when unplugging the cable from the unit, do not pull the cord, but hold the connector to disconnect.
• If the unit produces heat, emits smoke or a strange smell, or makes unusual noises, immediately remove the power supply and stop using it. If the unit is connected to the PC, disconnect it before removing the power supply.

Notes about the Base Unit / Repeater

• Do not use the product in wet areas or places exposed to water such as bathroom.
• When connecting the product to your PC, make sure to follow all warnings and directions from your computer manufacturer.
• We shall not guarantee the operation of the device if it has been connected to a PC using a USB hub or a USB extension cable.

Notes about the Remote Unit

Contact with oil may cause cracks to appear in the casing of the unit. When using the unit in environments where such oils are present, please insure that it is protected from contact through use of a polyethylene bag or other means.
The following may cause water or foreign objects to enter the unit

• Closing the case with dirt, dust, or hair on the rubber packing or between the unit and rubber packing
• Scratches on the rubber packing
• Involving a significant temperature change (especially from high to low) while the product is wet

Notes about the RTR500BM

• If there is electronic equipment nearby that uses high-precision control or weak radio signals, check with the equipment manufacturer or distributor about the effects of radio waves before installing the product.
  Examples of such devices for which care should be taken:
  Hearing aids, implantable pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, other medical electrical equipment, fire alarms, automatic doors, other automatically controlled equipment, and so on.
• Do not install the product in places crowded with people. Persons with cardiac pacemakers or defibrillators may be in close vicinity.
• When installing in an automobile, please ask the automobile manufacturer or seller about the influence of radio waves so as not to affect on-board electronic devices.
• Before using at gas stations, please confirm that use is acceptable and follow all directions set by the facility.
• Restrictions apply for use in aircrafts. Do not carry or stow in luggage with the power ON. Usage in an aircraft where prohibited may result in legal action being taken according to applicable laws.
• Do not use any antennas except for the antenna supplied with the product or one of the authorized optional antennas sold by T&D.

Places not suitable for installation and storage (Base Unit / Remote Unit)

• Areas exposed to direct sunlight
