• Be sure that nothing metallic comes into contact with

the metal parts of the AC power adapter. If it does, a

short circuit may occur and the unit may be

damaged.

Operation

•Do not place the units in a location where it is:

–Extremely hot or cold

–Dusty or dirty

–Very humid

–Vibrating

•Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the units.

•The units become warm during the use, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

•Avoid exposing any part of the receiver’s light receiver to strong rays such as direct sunlight or inverter fluorescent lamp rays or to another infrared ray source such as a remote commander.

•Do not place any obstructions between the transmitter and receiver, or the visual and sound will disappear.

•Do not use this system with another infrared ray transmitter such as cordless headphones or two pairs of this system at the same time.

The signals may become mixed.

		Coverage of the infrared rays
		(See fig.E)
		The diagrams illustrate the approximate area covered
		by the infrared rays. Position the transmitter and the
E		receiver within the area so that the units operate
		effectively.
		Notes
		• Select the input of the receiver with the input selector on
		the TV.
		• If the angle of the transmitter or receiver is adjusted past
		the movable range as illustrated, it can cause a
		malfunction.
	Approx. 5 m (16 ft.)	• Do not cover the light emitter or receiver of the
		transmitter or the receiver with your hand, etc.
Transmitter	Receiver	• The infrared rays will not penetrate walls or opaque
		glass. Therefore, the infrared receiver must be used
		within the “in sight” area of the transmitter.
		• The brightness of the transmitter’s light emitter is not
		necessarily stabilized. This is not a malfunction and does
		not affect the infrared coverage distance.
		• Noise and beats appears when the transmitter and the
		receiver are positioned too close.
