| intensity/•standby: Pressing this button momentarily cycles the |
|
| Nº31.5 (and any Linked Mark Levinson components) through |
|
| their four levels of display intensity (bright, medium, dim, off). |
|
| When pressed and held for about one second (denoted by the |
|
| bold dot •), this button will place the Nº31.5 into or out of |
|
| standby. If you continue to hold this button after the Nº31.5 en- |
|
| ters standby, it will force the entire Linked system into standby. |
|
| This function is available even when the Nº31.5 is already in |
|
| standby, in which case its display will activate long enough to |
|
| confirm your command visually. |
| 7 | BATTERY COMPARTMENT |
|
| The two AA batteries used by the Remote Control must be placed inside |
|
| the compartment at the bottom of the remote’s housing. Using the 5⁄64" hex |
|
| wrench provided in your accessory kit (look inside the slot within the foam |
|
| rubber), carefully remove the two screws on the bottom of the housing and |
|
| insert the batteries, being careful to orient them as indicated inside the bat- |
|
| tery compartment. Then replace the screws using the hex wrench. |
Conditions that Affect | IR communication between the Remote Control and the Nº31.5 can be affected by: | |
IR Performance | • | Direct sunlight |
| ||
| • | Interior lighting |
| • | Wall, window, ceiling, and floor treatments |
| • | The angle of the Remote Control relative to the Nº31.5 |
| If the Nº31.5 will be subject to direct sunlight, place it no more than 10 feet from | |
| where you’ll normally operate the Remote Control. Where bright sunlight virtually | |
| floods the room, IR communication may be inconsistent. | |
| In a room lighted primarily with incandescent fixtures, place the Nº31.5 no more | |
| than | |
| In a room with fluorescent fixtures, this range will be reduced. Where bright fluores- | |
| cent lighting virtually floods the room, IR communication may be inconsistent. | |
| IR, like visible light, reacts differently when it meets different surfaces. Carpeting | |
| and draperies, for example, tend to diffuse (scatter) IR and interfere with its trans- | |
| mission. Glossy or reflective surfaces, such as mirrors and smooth walls, “bounce” | |
| (reflect) IR and won’t interfere with its transmission. When placing the Nº31.5, it is | |
| important to account for potential IR bounce and diffusion. For example, in a | |
| room with thick carpeting, heavy draperies, and many pieces of furniture, you | |
| may need to place the Nº31.5 closer to where you’ll normally operate the Remote | |
| Control than you would in a sparsely furnished room with bare walls and hard- | |
| wood flooring. | |
| If possible, install the Nº31.5 directly opposite from where you’ll normally operate | |
| the Remote Control. In practice, the Remote Control will operate the Nº31.5 at up | |
| to 30 degrees to either side of this direct line. To either side of this line, success- | |
| ful IR communication will depend on bounce and ambient lighting. (Please refer | |
| to diagram on next page.) | |
