Sensitivity Level – The level of sensitivity can be adjusted by turning the sensitivity knob
from minimum to maximum, depending on radio-frequency interference and the SmartDoor

’s
application and/or location. Pre-set from the factory, the sensitivity level should not be adjusted
until after installation. For example, the sensitivity level may need to be increased if the
