Mounting location
The central apartment unit consists of electronics section and base.
The base is designed for wall mounting (on an interior wall of the apartment).
We recommend to mount the unit in an easily accessible space (e.g. in the
living room or the lobby). For convenient operation, the recommended mount-
ing height is 1.5 m above the floor.

The central apartment unit communicates with most system components via
radio. To ensure optimum radio coverage, the following points should be
observed:
• The distance to devices with electromagnetic emissions, such as wireless
telephones, TV sets, PCs, microwave appliances, etc., should be at least
1 m
• Larger items made of steel or construction elements with metal meshes
(e.g. special glass or concrete), or metal foils in thermal insulation materials,
mirrors or metal-coated heat absorbing glass, can have an impact on the
range
