1Unpack the Product

Remove outer packaging and plastic cover. Inspect for physical damage.

2Mount in Rack (if necessary)

3Connect Antenna

Connect the antenna (not included) according to the installation instructions. Only use an antenna supplied by Listen. If you are connecting the antenna directly to the top of the LT-800, you will need to remove the rubber plug on top of the unit. If you are using a remote antenna connected to the rear of the unit, do not connect an antenna to the top connector. See page 22 for antenna options, or refer to the Listen website for remote antenna options, www.listentech.com.

4Connect Power

Plug the power supply into the power connector on the back panel, then plug the power supply into an outlet. Only use a Listen approved power supply (The LA-207, an in-line switching power supply, is the approved power supply for this unit).

12 VDC 1.3 A

5Select Phonak Compatibility (if necessary)

If you will be using Phonak receivers with your LT-800 (216 MHz only), the transmitter can become completely compatible through software control. When switched to this mode, the LT-800 transmitter will display the Phonak channels. By integrating Phonak channels and compatibility into the LT-800-216, it is more convenient to use Phonak receivers with Listen transmitters. (www.phonak.com)
