CONDITIONS AFFECTING WIRELESS TRANSMISSION

This device contains accurate clock controlled by a radio signal. Like in case of other wireless equipment, reception capability is affected among others by following conditions:

• Distance from signal source

• Ferro-concrete constructions

- Terrain unevenness

- By close electrical appliances

• High buildings in vicinity

- By close computers and TV sets

- By railway lines, high voltage lines, etc.

• Inside means of transport

• Highways, airports vicinity, etc.

• Metal constructions and objects

• Large building sites in vicinity

Install the device to a place with optimal transmission conditions, close to windows, away from electronic devices and metal objects.
