Tips for Using the System The nominal operating distance between the transmitter and receiver is about 46 meters (150 feet). The operating range will vary in different buildings and surroundings. In some locations, the signal may momentarily disappear. This is called a “drop-out” and is due to reflection and cancellation of the radio signal. Moving a few feet should restore the signal. Keep the transmitter and receiver units at least 1 meter (3 feet) apart.
In Case Of Difficulty If your Tour Guide System is not working, check the following: 1. Read through the manual and user guide carefully to verify proper setup and installation of your system. 2. Make sure the batteries are fresh or completely charged and that the “plus” and “minus” terminals are installed correctly. 3. If the rechargeable batteries work for a short period of time (less than 1 hour) even after they are fully charged, they must be regenerated.
