Base station AC a dapt er .
CAUTION:
The QuietCare base station AC adapter must not be plugged into an outlet controlled by a
wall switch. If the QuietCare base station AC adapter is plugged into a switched outlet, it will
not function when the switch is turned off. Please inform QuietCare installers if any such
outlets exist. If you observe a QuietCare base station AC adapter plugged into a switch-
controlled outlet, move it to a non-switched outlet in the same vicinity. Contact QuietCare
support if assistance is required.
When you determine the optimal location for the base station, plug the AC adapter in the 12VDC jack on the
base station, but do not plug the adapter into the outlet or power strip yet. Temporarily leave the base station
close to where it will be permanently attached. See Connecting the Base Station for further details. Also make
sure that all cords and wires are properly tied and neatly placed.
Antenna Placement
Complete the following steps to ensure proper antenna placement prior to attaching it to the base station:
To ensure good RF reception:
 Orient the antenna vertically, with the antenna pointing up.
 Do not place it on or next to a metal surface (e.g., filing cabinet, metal air duct, foil-backed insulation,
mirrors, foil-based wallpapers, metal-meshed plaster walls).
 Do not place it on or next to potential sources of interference (e.g., high-power microwave ovens,
motors, electrical panels, air conditioning or heating units, fluorescent lights, or dimmer switches).
NOTE: Because the antenna's receiver operates on a different frequency, wireless phones will not interfere
with the antenna's operation. Most computer and electronic devices, such as televisions, will also not interfere.
To ensure correct temperature readings:
 Place the antenna approximately 4-6 feet off the floor and in an area that is as open as possible.
 Do not place it where it will be exposed to window drafts or hot air blown from vents.
