Re: Wireless Motion Sensor goes off when A/C set to higher temps

["Everywhere Man" <alarminstall@xxxxxxx>]

She wanted to know something about RFI but via email only at
smdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Once again that email address is smdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  and she wants
emails ONLY concerning RFI.

Paul from Belgium should email her at smdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to
discuss RFI.

She was also concerned with the possibility that the NSA may have
somehow altered her system and would like further information sent to
her at smdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Whatever you do make sure smdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  receives her info
via email only.
