Confirming theusage conditionsConfirming the usage areaWireless communication rangeIn optimal conditions, the wirelesscommunication range of each device inthe system from the hub isapproximately 50 m (160 feet) indoorsand approximately 300 m (1,000 feet)outdoors.RWireless communication may bereduced or unreliable when thefollowing obstacles are locatedbetween the hub and other devices.– Metal doors or screens– Walls containing aluminum-sheetinsulation– Walls made of concrete orcorrugated iron– Double-pane glass windows– Multiple walls– When using each device onseparate floors or in differentbuildingsRWireless communication is reducedby approximately xx% if the switch isinstalled in a metal junction box.RWireless communication is reducedby approximately xx% for each walllocated between the hub and theswitch.RAfter the switch is installed andregistered to the hub, you can checkthe switch’s communication statusby pressing MN (page 7).Usage area cautionsUsing the switch in the following areasmay cause deformation, malfunction, oroperational failure.RIn direct sunlightRAreas exposed to grease or steam,such as kitchensRNear fire or heating devicesRNear magnetic fields (such as nearmicrowaves and magnets)RAreas subject to extremetemperature changes, such as nextto air conditionersRAreas with reflective objects, suchas glass, that can interfere withdetection of temperature variationRAreas where the temperature isaffected by strong illuminatingobjects (such as fluorescent lights)RNear devices that emit strong radiowaves, such as mobile phonesInformation about motionsensor featuresThe switch utilizes an infrared sensor(i.e., heat sensor) to detect motion. Inthis document, this sensor is referred toas a "motion sensor".Please read the following informationbefore deciding where to install theswitch.Note:RThe switch’s motion sensor featuresare not designed to be used insituations that require high reliability.We do not recommend use of theswitch’s motion sensor features inthese situations.RPanasonic takes no responsibility forany injury or damage caused by theuse of the switch.Using heat to detect motionThe switch’s motion sensor can detectmotion by recognizing temperaturedifferences that occur within the rangeof the sensor. It does this by detecting8For assistance, please visit http://shop.panasonic.com/supportSetup
