    The maximum transmitting range in open air is 300 feet (91 meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range. Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, wireless gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can prevent signal reception. Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with RF (radio frequency) signal reception.
