Important Wireless Information

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and ﬁ ll an important need in portable wireless signaling.

However, there are some limitations which must be observed.

• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15

devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals

that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.

• Changes or modiﬁ cations to the device may void FCC compliance.

• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.

• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or

dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
