What is the range of the remote? Could I start the mobile again lying in my bed in the next room?

No. The range is poor and the remote must be pointing straight at the receiver sensor.

I have one in the living room and one in our bedroom....neither remotes work and never have unless I'm standing less than a foot from it and then it's only 50/50!

Hi. I hesitate to answer this because I am not sure of the exact range of these devices. However, I can tell you that it is being used for communication purposes from the "main house" to what most people would consider an In-laws quarters way on the other side. For the price and the quality of the device, the worst thing that could happen is that you would have to send it back. Probably worth the try! Hope this helps.

I have tried both Android and iPhone 5s and the range is about 90 feet (30 meters) UNOBSTRUCTED view.My test was done with unobstructed view of bot the receptor and the iPhone5s, if there are walls in betweenor the phone is facing in another direction then you must either get closer or point it directly at the unit.I usually use it while working in my garden, that is how I learned the tricks.The blue flashing light in the unit can be quite bright at night but I covered it with a small piece of black tape.It works flawlessly.

I believe the remote is supposed to have a 75ft range under ideal conditions. In practice, ours (outside, with no walls in the way) seem to have an effective remote range of 40-50ft. The motion detection range, though, may even be better than the 25ft claimed range.

I am not sure of the range of this CB. I have only tested it inside my apartment and while I can pick up transmissions, I have yet to get a resonse to my calls for a radio check. So, I can't recommend the item at this point. Sorry.

I unfortunately had issues with the remote function. My 1st one worked well, until I dropped it on floor/carpet. It did not require line of sight. My replacement & 3rd unit remote did not work at all. I recently purchased a CTC 43055 Digital Thermostat 1H/1C Non-Programmable with Remote Control. It works very well, but range is limited to approx. 50-60 ft & functions thru walls.

I do not have that problem. My remote controls the device from across the room, which is probably 15 feet, without any difficulty. Sounds like the device or remote is faulty that Barb W. has.

hi. i spoke to panasonic according to them the range is about 50 feet; but from my experience it depends a lot in the surroundings, for instance some remotes can cause interference and shorten the distance.

No problem with the remote but there is a shutoff mechanism on the remote. It talks about it in the instruction manual and I can't remember offhand but the remote won't work if the mobile hasn't been used in the last either 2 or 4 hours. So you have to start it by the mobile, then the remote will work. Good luck!

i'd say about 20-25 feet unobstructed. i think its about the same as stock. not sure what kind of remote the guy saying 50-75 meters has. that's close to a football field away, an no remote i've ever seen works at that distance.

I'm not sure what the range is. I am using mine in my living room. I went down the hall 3 rooms away and it still worked.

if i'm off to the side of the fan it only has a range of about 6 ft and that's when i'm standing up and the remote is slightly lower than the bottom of the fan (where the eye is that detects the remote). if i'm standing directly in front of the fan it's range is probably 8 to 9 feet. bottom line is ... the remote is kinda cheesy, it should have a range of at least 14 feet, closer to the size of an avg. room.

I do not know the range as the system did not work for me except when I did a test within the same room. When I went from the bedroom to the kitchen they did not work as the kitchen is not on the same circuit as the bedroom.

For mine, range was zero. The system is cheaply made and simply stopped working after one ride.

My range is at times as much as 50 feet. Most of the time I can have the transmitting source at one end of my home and I can venture to a different room at the opposire end before the Knivio begins to lose contact. There are instances when the range is much less. My range is reduced when the transmitting source is inside and I step outside the home. Reception is lost when the separation is as little as 10 feet. Another instance is when my bathroom's tiled walls seperate reception from transmission. Even at less than 7 feet.

I can't help you with that question, I return to mine because the range was very poor would not connect across the room.
