Altec Lansing A11964 R07 manual Wireless Connectivity, Listening To Your M812

Wireless Connectivity

The transmitter base and speaker can communicate over three wireless radio frequency (RF) channels. The default setting is AUTO. You may also manually select one of the three channels.

In AUTO, the transmitter base looks for and transmits on the most interference-free of the three channels. The speaker searches the channels until it finds the base.

It is possible that the speaker and base may lose their synchronized connection from time to time. You may also experience interference with the connection.

If you experience interference or lose the connection between speaker and transmitter base, you can force the M812 to re-synchronize. To do so, press and hold down the STANDBY key on the transmitter base. After three seconds, the LED to the left of the STANDBY key will begin to flash. Continue to hold down the STANDBY key until the LED stops flashing (about six seconds).

If you continue to experience interference, check to see if you can eliminate the source by moving other devices that use the same RF spectrum. For instance, laptop computers that use 802.11 wireless networking can conflict with your M812 wireless connection.

If problems persist, you can manually set the radio frequency (RF) channel to channel 1, 2 or 3. To do so, follow the instructions in Advanced Operations under the heading Set RF Channels (page 8).

Listening To Your M812

Remote Control Operation

To control the M812, the remote control must be pointed toward the front of the speaker. (In a multi-speaker system, any speaker that is synchronized can control the system.) The transmitter base does not have an IR sensor. Commands are transmitted to the base from the speaker. The M812 remote control uses two AAA-size batteries.

Power and Input Selection

To turn on the M812, press the STANDBY key on the transmitter base or the POWER key on the side of the speaker or the remote control. Select iPod, FM or AUX by pressing the input selector on the speaker or using the remote control.

iPod

With your iPod docked in the transmitter base, turn on your iPod.

Press on the remote to start playing the iPod. (You

can also press on the iPod itself.)

FM

To change the radio tuning, press or on the remote or the TUNE +/– keys on the speaker. Hold the key down to make the tuner scan to the next strong signal. Press the key repeatedly to manually adjust the tuning.

The M812 can store up to six of your favorite FM stations. To PRESET a station, tune to the desired frequency, then press and hold the desired PRESET key on the remote until PRESET shows on the speaker display.

AUX

To play music from an auxiliary audio device, connect the device to the transmitter base. Control music play back using the controls on the auxiliary device.

Volume

There are two levels of volume control: local and master. The range for local and master volume is 0 to 80.

Local volume affects only one speaker at a time. To adjust local volume, use the + and – keys on the remote control while pointing the remote control at the speaker that you want to adjust. You can also adjust local volume using the VOLUME keys located on the side panel of the speaker.

Master volume allows you to adjust all speakers in a multi-speaker system from a single location. Master volume can be adjusted using the MASTER VOL keys on the remote control.

If you have a single-speaker system, you may use master and local volume interchangeably.

Treble and Bass

To control treble or bass levels, press the TREBLE or BASS keys on the remote control. The display on the speaker will indicate the levels.

Reset

To reset your M812 settings, press and hold the POWER key on the side of the speaker for three seconds. See the Advanced Operation section for more information on the reset function.
