A Note Regarding Wireless Performance:

Like all wireless devices, your PSWi-8Mmay be susceptible to RF interference from such sources as microwave ovens, WiFi computer systems, video game systems, cordless telephones, blue tooth systems, baby monitors and other devices. In particular, any devices operating in the 2.4GHz band may cause intermittent wireless connections between the PSWi-8M. It is also possible that your PSWi-8Mmay affect other wireless systems. For the most part, you can avoid wire- less performance problems by physically separating these devices from your PSWi-8M. Maintaining a distance of several feet or more between your PSWi-8Mspeaker and any wireless device should prevent any mutual interference effects. If you do notice any subwoofer signal dropouts take care to identify the root cause (most commonly having other wireless devices too close) and resolve accordingly. Any interference effects from a microwave oven will cease once the oven stops operating and may be resolved on a long-term basis by increasing the physical distance between your PSWi-8Mand the microwave oven.
