2. Water Resistance The wireless remote is a water resistant unit It is designed to withstand the moisture of wet hands and splashing It is not designed to resist periods of prolonged exposure to water due to immersion rain or sprinklers This type of exposure could cause permanent damage The remote should never be placed on the charging base when wet Sunlight Extended exposure to direct sunlight can permanently damage the remote LCD The display is a liquid crystal type that when subjected to direct sunlight for extended periods will heat up and cause the display to black out If the display blacks out remove the remote from the sunlight and let the display cool down until it has recovered and can begin to function again When using the remote outside care should be taken to protect the display by keeping it in the shade or covering it with a towel Communication Range Although reliable communication between the remote and the command center can be expected at distances of up to 150 feet the actual range can be affected by a number of different variables The range can be affected by elevation changes environmental conditions or signal disruptions caused by physical barriers Barriers such as retaining walls walls containing metal such as re bar metal garage doors and heavy plant growth can absorb the radio signal and reduce range OPERATION Sol Installation Operation 109 Increase or decrease Curr
