TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTE The Remote Repeat function is valid only after the remote control device of an audio source previously learned at least 1 Remote Learning function successfully.

NOTE If the audio source (for example, audio source Manual background ) is a DVD player and its remote control device has successfully undergone Remote Learning, the Wireless Remote Speaker will remember the source and its remote control device even if the source has been disconnected from the Transmitter and later reconnected. If the same audio source Manual background has been replaced by a new source such as a TV, the Remote Learning and Remote Repeat functions of the previous source (DVD player) will no longer be valid and will not work for the TV. The remote control device of the new audio source must learn to adjust volume and activate / deactivate mute function as well as learn the remote repeat function specific for the new audio source, in this case, the TV.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy any difficulties you may be experiencing while using the Wireless Remote Speaker. Should any problem persist after you have checked these symptoms, consult your nearest Oregon Scientific dealer.

Why does the Wireless Remote Speaker not power on at all?

Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into the power outlet. On the rare occasion, the unit may not operate due to data signal interference or static electricity. Turn the power off and unplug the unit from the power outlet

Why does the power keep turning off after turning on?

The batteries may have run out of power or are not correctly aligned with their polarity. Re-install batteries checking the polarity; if the unit still does not operate, insert new batteries into the unit.

How do I eliminate the severe hum, distortion or noise that is coming from the Wireless Remote Speaker?

The speaker may be positioned too closely to the audio source, such as a TV or radio. Move the speaker at least 0.9 meters (3 feet) away from the source.

Check that the speaker's position and connections are clear of any strong magnetic fields or radio frequencies such as Bluetooth, wireless LAN, microwaves or fluorescent light, which may interfere with reception. Similarly, make sure the speaker is not placed near any 2.4GHz DECT phones or mobile phones, whose frequencies can interfere with wireless transmission between the remote control device and speaker.

The plugs and jacks may be dirty, affecting the connections and thus causing sound distortion. Wipe clean. In some cases, volume might not be appropriately adjusted. Adjusting the volume will help to clear any hum or distortion.

There may be excess moisture condensed inside the speaker or on the speaker grille that might affect the unit's ability to produce audio, especially after turning on heating in the room, if the room is damp, or if the speaker is brought directly from a cold to a warm place. In this case, leave the system turned off for a few hours until moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord and then plug it in again.

Alternatively, press the RESET button at the bottom of the speaker to reset the unit and check to see if the unit resumes operation.

The Wireless Remote Speaker is powered on but why is it not emitting any sound?

Check to ensure the power is on and increase the volume. If there is still no sound, check to see if Manual background is lit on the LCD. If it is, press the Manual background button on the speaker control panel or from the appropriate button on the remote control device of the audio source to unmute the speaker.

briefly, and then plug it in again so it will reset itself and turn the speaker on.

The AC adaptor must be correctly connected to the corresponding unit it is designed for. The Wireless Remote Speaker and Transmitter will not work if you wrongly plug the Transmitter's AC adaptor into the speaker and the speaker's adaptor into the Transmitter.

Data signal interference or static electricity may disrupt the signal reception from the audio source. Power off the speaker, wait a few seconds, and turn the unit back on. Alternatively, press the RESET button at the bottom of the speaker to reset the unit.

Why is the remote control device not working?

Check the batteries are loaded correctly with the correct polarity. If they are low or exhausted, replace the batteries. Make sure the remote control is not being operated outside the range of 7 meters (23 feet), and that no obstacles stand between the remote control device and the unit that may affect wireless reception.
