Cautions

1. Position the MIPRO receiver at least 5 meters away from 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi or other 5.8 GHz transmitting devices.
2. Users can scan the environment for current 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi devices being used and signal strength with a smartphone app. Ascertain the position of the MIPRO receiver away from these 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi transmitting devices.
3. A clear, line-of-sight provides the optimal reception range between the transmitting antenna and receiver.
4. Power supply voltage should not be less than 12V DC and not higher than 15V DC. Deficient current causes operating voltage instability or malfunction and exceeding current causes a shorter product life cycle and possible short or damaging circuits.

Notes

1. Design and specifications are subject to change without prior notice. Refer to the actual product in the event of product discrepancy.
2. Frequency range and maximum deviation comply with the regulations of different countries.
