What is a

LocationFreeTV?

The LocationFreeTV is an LCD television system that embodies the LocationFreeTM concept—the ability to enjoy TV, videos, DVDs, Internet browsing, mail, and digital photos wherever you happen to be. Whether you use it at home through a wireless or wired LAN connection, or away from home with the NetAV function, the LocationFreeTV allows you to enjoy video images and other media from a variety of locations.

At home, when you set up the base station in a central room, you are free to roam anywhere within its wireless transmission range carrying only the monitor.

Away from home, you can access your TV, videos, and DVDs by using the system’s NetAV function to connect to your base station through the Internet. You can enjoy browsing the Internet, composing and reading mail, and viewing your digital albums.

You can also register other monitors to a base station. This allows you to use NetAV from the other registered monitors.

z Tips Note

•The LocationFreeTV is composed of a monitor and a base station that communicate with each other over a wireless connection. The monitor must be within about 100 feet (30 meters)* of the base station in order to send and receive transmissions clearly.

*Signal strength will differ based on operating environment.

•When the monitor is in communication with the base

station, the upper of the screen displays the indicator. (Only when using in Home-Wireless LAN.)

•The monitor operates on a rechargeable battery. Recharge the battery using the AC power adapter (supplied). (For the LF-X1, the monitor can be recharged while in use, but not for the LF-X5.)

•When the power is turned on, the base station continuously emits a wireless signal.

The LocationFreeTV transmits on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz* wireless channels. In the average home, this gives it a coverage range of about 100 feet (30 meters). If other devices in the vicinity emit electrical waves, such as a wireless LAN device or microwave oven, the strength of the wireless signal may decrease. The materials used in the construction of a building’s walls and floors may also affect the signal strength.

*At time of purchase, the LocationFreeTV is set to the 2.4 GHz wireless channel.
