2. PRECAUTIONS
the RC-Controller) closer to said equipment may result in electronic noise in sound or images,
adversely affecting the performance of televisions and radios.
Precautions regarding transmission
●
For best results
• When using in conjunction with a total station, perform communication within a line-of-sight distance
of approximately 300m. The usable range becomes shorter when obstacles block the line of sight,
or devices other than total stations, such as PDAs or computers, are used. Wood, glass and plastic
will not impede communication but the usable range becomes shorter. Moreover, wood, glass and
plastic containing metal frames, plates, foil and other heat shielding elements as well as coatings
containing metallic powders may adversely affect
Bluetooth
communication and concrete,
reinforced concrete, and metal will render it impossible.
• Use a vinyl or plastic cover to protect the instrument from rain and moisture. Metallic materials
should not be used.
• The direction of the
Bluetooth
antenna can have adverse effects upon usable range. For best
results make sure that the antennas of both the RC-Controller and the companion device are
pointing towards one another.
●
Reduced range due to atmospheric conditions
The radio waves used by the RC-Controller may be absorbed or scattered by rain, fog, and moisture
from the human body with the limit of usable range becoming lower as a result. Similarly, usable range
may also shorten when performing communication in wooded areas. Moreover, as wireless devices
lose signal strength when close to the ground, perform communication at as high a position as
possible.
