Note When the LED blinks only sporadically, with low light intensity, there are no problems with RF interference. 4 Try out other positions moving the Receiver unit around, and check the LED for RF interference. If the LED does not blink, or blinks only sporadically, mount the Receiver unit in that place, and continue with step 7. If the LED still blinks, continue with the next step.

In particular, keep the Receiver unit away from optical audio/video devices, such as a DVD player. ■ Near microwave ovens or wireless access points. ■ Inside a metal closet, since metal objects can disturb RF signals. 5 Retract the antenna, keeping it directed upwards. Retracting in the antenna will cause the Receiver unit to be less sensitive to interference.
