On the next pages is
explained how to install a set of
BeoLink Wireless 1 – both in the
main room and in a link room.
We recommend that you follow
this procedure:
– Set up connection between the
Wireless 1 units as explained on
p. 10.
– Make the cable connections as
explained on pp. 12-14.
– Check the wireless connection
between the main room and link
room setups.
– If necessary, fasten the units to
the wall as explained on pp. 11
and 15.
– Set the link room setup to the
correct Option as explained on
p. 16.
Before you start …
– Make sure that Wireless 1 is set up
in accordance with the instructions
in this Guide. To prevent injury,
use Bang & Olufsen approved
wall brackets only!
– Wireless 1 can only be switched
off completely by disconnecting
it from the wall socket.
– Do not attempt to open Wireless 1.
Leave such operations to qualified
service personnel!
– Wireless 1 is designed for indoor
use in dry, domestic environments
only, and for use within a
temperature range of 10– 45º C
(50–113º F).
– Leave enough space around
Wireless 1 for adequate ventilation.
– Do not place any items on
Wireless 1.
– Depending on the placement and
surroundings, Wireless 1 has an
indoor range of approximately
30 m (100').
– One transmitter can ser ve up to
seven receivers, and you can only
install three transmitters in a
setup.
– The transmitters must be placed
at least 5 m (16') apart.
– You will need at least one
BeoLink Wireless 1 set up as
a transmitter connected to
the main system, and one
BeoLink Wireless 1 set up as
receiver in each link room.
Furthermore, you will need an
‘IR-eye’ in each link room with
a Power Link setup.
– Do not place the ‘IR-eye’ in direct
sunlight or direct artificial light (a
spotlight, for example), or near
objects generating electrical noise
(such as light dimmers), as this
may reduce the sensitivity of the
remote control receiver.
10
>> Set up BeoLink Wireless 1
Wireless 1 – Transmitter/
receiver …
Wireless 1 must be set up as
either transmit ter or receiver.
Before fastening the transmitter
and receiver to the wall, you must
establish connection bet ween
them. This must be done while
the units are located in the same
room.
The connection procedure described
here must be performed for each
receiver in a setup – one at a time.
If more than one transmitter is
necessary, connection must be
established between each trans-
mitter and each receiver – one by
one. Only one transmitter at a time
must be switched on, while you set
up connection to the receivers.
To set up connection between a
transmitter and a receiver …
> Set the two-position switch to
transmit or receive (T or R),
respectively.
> Connect the transmitter and the
receiver to the mains supply.
> Press the connection button on
the transmitter and the receiver
to start a one-minute connection
mode.
> When the indicator shines green
or yellow, connection between
the transmitter and the receiver is
established. Approximately 20
seconds after connection has been
established, the receiver switches
to standby (indicator shines red).
> When the receiver switches to
standby, disconnect the units
from the mains supply, and move
them to their future positions.
If you have more receivers, repeat
the above procedure for each
receiver.
Light indications
Fast yellow flash … Wireless 1 is
reset to factory setting.
Slow red flash … Wireless 1 is in
connection mode.
Fast red flash … Connection
failed/receiver out of range of the
transmitter.

the transmitter and receiver is
acceptable, but not optimal.
Red … Receiver switched to
standby.
To reset Wireless 1 to factory setting
(no connection), press and hold the
connection button until the yellow
indicator star ts to flash fast.
On page 11 is shown how to get
access to the but tons and sockets.
Wireless 1 – wall mount
Wireless 1 can be fastened to a
wall (or ceiling) with one of the
two enclosed brackets – in either a
horisontal or a vertical position. It
can be placed on the bracket so that
the cables may be run either to the
left or to the right. However, if you
place Wireless 1 vertically on a wall,
the cables must be run downwards
– otherwise the bracket will not hold
Wireless 1 safely!
Use two screws and wall anchors,
each with a minimum load rating
of 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs.). However, if you
intend to hang Wireless 1 from a
gypsum wall or ceiling, one screw
must be a lag screw (4 mm – 0.15"),
which penetrates the gypsum, and
is screwed a minimum of 12 mm
(0.5") into a vertical stud. The other
screw must be of a type intended
for gypsum panels.
11
To get access to the connection
button and sockets, you must first
remove the cover. When you have
connected the cables and checked
that the wireless connection is still
intact, run the cables through the
groove and put on the cover again.
When you have put on the cover,
slide Wireless 1 onto the bracket as
shown.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) –
Environmental protection
The European Parliament and the
Council of the European Union
have issued the Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Directive.
The purpose of the Directive is the
prevention of waste of electrical
and electronic equipment, and to
promote the reuse and recycling
and other forms of recovery of
such waste. As such the Directive
concerns producers, distributors
and consumers.
The WEEE directive requires that
both manufacturers and endconsumers dispose of electrical
and electronic equipment and
parts in an environmentally safe
manner, and that equipment and
waste are reused or recovered for
their materials or energy.
Electrical and electronic equipment
and parts must not be disposed of
with ordinary household refuse; all
electrical and electronic equipment
and parts must be collected and
disposed of separately.
Products and equipment which
must be collected for reuse,
recycling and other forms of
recovery are marked with the
pictogram shown.
When disposing of electrical and
electronic equipment by use of the
collection systems available in your
country, you protect the
environment, human health and
contribute to the prudent and
rational use of natural resources.
Collecting electrical and electronic
equipment and waste prevents the
potential contamination of nature
with the hazardous substances
which may be present in electrical
and electronic produc ts and
equipment.
Your Bang & Olufsen retailer will
assist with and advise you of the
correct way of disposal in your
