This will help with synchronization between the remote sensor and the home unit. 3. REMEMBER: Once you are ready to position your remote sensor and home unit, ensure that the distance is not outside the effective transmission range (100 feet). Some building materials and location of the home unit or remote sensor can affect transmission quality and range. Try various locations for best results.
