SAFETY INFORMATION

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Please note that changes or modications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

The user manual for local area network devices shall contain instructions related to the restrictions mentioned in the above sections, namely that:

(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;

(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall

comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specied for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation

as appropriate.

GETTING STARTED

The RT100 Wireless Speaker Link provides a quick and easy way to wirelessly connect your audio components. Using its own dedicated network, the RT100 can pair with another RT100, or

synchronous devices, to create a exible multi-unit wireless audio

setup.

Status/Pairing Button:

Pressing the Status/Pairing Button is a quick way to check the current status of the RT100. The LED will run through a series of

colors, rst indicating mode, then input, and nally pairing status.

For example, if you press the Status/Pairing button and the LED shows Solid Blue, then Solid Magenta, then Solid Green, the RT100 is functioning as a transmitter, using the analog audio input, and is successfully paired with another module.

CONNECT FOR SOUND

The RT100 As A Transmitting Device (Tx Mode) – USB Audio

When you rst plug in the Mini USB Cable and there are no

analog connections attached, the RT100 will be in Tx Mode and set to use USB Audio by default. Connecting the RT100 to your source device will take advantage of this feature if USB Audio is available from the source. USB Audio is available in Tx Mode only

- you cannot use USB to pass audio out of the RT100.

The RT100 As A Transmitting Device (Tx Mode) – Analog Audio

For Analog Audio in Tx Mode, use the Stereo RCA to 3.5mm Cable provided. Connect from your source output to the 3.5mm Input on the RT100. Analog will take priority over USB Audio once connected. Ensure nothing is connected to the 3.5mm Output.

CONNECT WIRELESS

To wirelessly pair the RT100:

1. Press and hold the Status/Pairing button for at least 3 seconds, then release.

2. Once released, the LED will start ashing Green, indicating that the RT100 is in Pairing Mode.

3. Repeat the process on the other device (this might be another RT100 or a separate synchronous device in the ecosystem).

4. The LED will turn Solid Green once the RT100 has successfully paired.

For the most consistent results, you should start the pairing

process on the Rx device rst.

You can pair up to two Rx devices to a single Tx device, but only one at a time. To pair a second Rx device within the same setup, simply run the pairing process again between second Rx device

and the Tx device. There is no need to re-pair the rst Rx device

as it is already connected.

component

The RT100 As A Receiving Device (Rx Mode)

Use the Stereo RCA to 3.5mm cable provided to connect the

3.5mm Output on the RT100 to an input on your end component.

Ensure nothing is connected to the 3.5mm Input on the RT100.

USB Audio is available in Tx Mode only and cannot be used in Rx Mode. You must still plug into the USB for power.

NOTE: We recommend that all cable connections are made when all your equipment is turned off.

CONNECTING MULTIPLE RT100 SYSTEMS

The RT100 can operate on three different channel IDs, allowing you to use up to three different system setups in the same area. The Channel Selector Switch lets you select the channel ID you wish to use, so that you can specify which modules should be paired together. Ensure all devices are on the same channel ID if they are part of the same setup.

NOTE: Certain synchronous products that can pair with the

RT100 will only work on a specic channel. Please consult the online help articles for that specic brand and product.

NOTE: If you happen to get interference in the signal between paired RT100s, you can also adjust the channel selector switch to see if the connection is improved on a different channel.
