WARNING! Metal objects between the transmitter and receiver
can block the radiation path or reduce the
transmission distance, so external antennas should
be positioned away from them as much as possible.
Some objects that are often overlooked are:
• metal fencing • metal studs or beams in structures
• metal poles • metal rods in concrete
• vehicles • metal enclosures
• elevators • ventilation ducts
• refrigerators • microwave ovens
• batteries • tall electrolytic capacitors
RANGE (G3)
The control transmitter must be:
1. Located within range of the
scoreboard receiver.
500 feet indoors
1,500 feet outdoors.
2. Located within a 180° degree arc
in front of the scoreboard receiver
to prevent the scoreboard from
blocking the signal.
Note: The wireless signal is largely immune to conflicting radio frequency signals
from cordless telephones, cellular telephones, microwave ovens and other
radio frequency devices. For more information on interference, see RADIO
FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE on page 133.
