this seems to come up fairly often. Generally, the easiest answer is to increase the distance between the light and the wireless computer. This reduces the amount of electrical noise getting to the computer.

Moving the transmitter closer to the computer, as was suggested, increases the strength of the signal received by the computer, and is also a good idea.

the only other idea I can think of is to reduce the amount of noise emitted by the light, and this can be done by adding a metallic shield around the light. The easiest way to experiment is simply to grab some aluminum foil and try wrapping it around the light. If you find a configuration that works, and still lets you operate the light, then you might try a more permanent version. A bit of tubing might be a good replacement, made of aluminum, steel, copper, etc. Another option would be aluminum or copper tape.

The best option would be to complain to Cateye and see if they can replace the light with a newer one that produces less electronic noise! In the United States, the FCC generally requires the manufacturer to repair or replace their product if it interferes with other products.
