In the highly unlikely event your neighbor was attempting to re-link at the same time, it is possible to link your system to his. Should this happen, or if you have any doubts, repeat the linking operation. Your system will generate a new, unique address each time it is linked.

Linking problems

The system is designed to be "user friendly." The following hints may be helpful:

•If you cannot establish a link, or the receiver LED is flashing from green to red, you are probably out of range from the transmitter. Depending on conditions, the range should be up to 150 feet. In a normal frame house, the range should easily be 50 feet through two walls.

•If you unintentionally toggle the transmitter link switch, ignore the flashing LED. The system address will not change unless you deliberately press a receiver link switch. The LED will stop flashing in one to two minutes and there will be no interruption to program content.

Interference

The RF technology used in this system is the most robust audio streaming link avail- able. Even in the hostile environments sometimes present in offices or stores, the sys- tem will operate trouble free.

It is recommended that the transmitters and/or receivers be located two to three feet from microwave ovens, Ethernet LANs, or cordless phones. The system will coexist easily with these devices under these guidelines. If there is doubt about the source of interference, momentarily disable a device close to a receiver or transmitter.

Poor Sound Quality

The most common cause of poor sound quality is incorrect input signal level to the transmitter.

When the speaker input is selected the full-scale input is 14.5 VRMS (equivalent to 50 watts into 4 ohms).

When the RCA (pre-out) input is selected, the full-scale input is 3.5 VRMS.
