Altec Lansing M812, A11964 R07 manual Advanced Operation

Advanced Operation

Multi-Speaker Systems

With a single transmitter base, you can transmit audio to as many as eight wireless speakers. Speakers can be set to standard stereo mode or to serve as pairs of left and right speakers. By adding speakers to your system, you can create separate listening areas served by one or more speakers.

When you power up a multi-speaker system, turn on the speakers first and then turn on the power to the transmitter base. This will allow synchronization between the speakers and the base. If one or more speakers fail to synchronize or synchronization is lost during operation, you must re-synchronize the system.

To re-synchronize the transmitter base with the speaker(s), press and hold 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).
