Additional Information 03

•Do not insert the AC adapter into a power outlet where the connection remains loose despite inserting the prongs all the way into the outlet. Heat may be gener- ated which could lead to fire. Consult with the retailer or an electrician regard- ing replacement of the power outlet.

Radio wave reflections

The radio waves received by the wireless speaker include the radio wave coming directly from the transmitter (direct wave) and waves coming from various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and building (reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received properly due to this phenomenon, try moving the location of the wireless speaker a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the space between the transmitter and wireless speaker.

Radio wave caution

This wireless speaker system uses a 2.4 GHz radio wave frequency, which is a band used by other wireless systems (see list below). To prevent noise or interrupted communication, do not use this system nearby such devices, or make sure these devices are switched off during use. You can also try switching the channel on the transmitter (see “Transmitter” on page 10) for better reception.

•Cordless phones

•Cordless FAX units

•Wireless broadband routers

•Wireless AV equipment

•Microwave-based health aids

•Microwave ovens

•Wireless controllers for game systems

•Bluetooth equipment

•Some baby monitors

Other, less common, equipment that may operate on the same frequency:

•Anti-theft systems

•Warehouse logistic management systems

•Amateur radio stations (HAM)

•Discrimination systems for train or emergency vehicles

•If the transmitter is used near A/V equipment with an antenna input terminal, such as a TV, VCR, BS tuner or CS tuner, you may experience noise interference on a TV near the transmitter. In such cases, place the transmitter at a larger distance from the antenna input terminal of the A/V equipment.

•If there is something obstructing the path between the transmitter and the wireless speaker (such as a metal door, concrete wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you may need to change the location of your system to prevent signal noise and interruptions.

Scope of operation

Use of this equipment is limited to home use. (Transmission distances may be reduced depending on communication environments.)

In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped:

•In reinforced concrete buildings or steel- framed or iron-framed buildings.

•Near large metallic furniture.

•In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.

•In a location exposed to the magnetic field, static electricity or radio wave inter- ference from radio communication equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this system, such as a Bluetooth device, radio LAN device or microwave oven.

•If you live in a heavily populated residen- tial area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if your neighbor’s microwave is placed near your system, you may experi- ence radio wave interference or no sound from the speaker. If this occurs, move your unit to a different place. When the microwave is not in use, there will be no radio wave interference.
