Radio-frequency Interference – Radio-frequency interference is due to radio-frequency signals

recommended that household appliances and common electronic products be placed at least two
feet (60 cm) away from the SmartDoor

and environmental factors to optimize SmartDoor

Sensitivity Level – The level of sensitivity can be adjusted by turning the sensitivity knob
from minimum to maximum, depending on radio-frequency interference and the SmartDoor
’s
application and/or location. Pre-set from the factory, the sensitivity level should not be adjusted
until after installation. For example, the sensitivity level may need to be increased if the
SmartDoor
is installed in a metal door. Reference page 10 for more information on how to
adjust sensitivity.
