Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns 🙋‍♂️

1. ⚡ How do I distinguish between the Receiver and the Transmitter?

   • Typically, the receiver features a black lens to filter ambient light, while the transmitter often has a clear or blue-tinted lens.

2. 🔧 Does this require a specific wavelength?

   • These receivers are generally optimized for the standard 940nm infrared spectrum, which is used by most common IR remote controls.

3. 💪 Can this be used in bright sunlight?

   • While the black lens filters visible light, extreme direct sunlight can still cause interference. For outdoor use, mechanical shielding or signal modulation is recommended.
