5 Suggestions for Installation

General Information

• Group the audio components in a single location to minimize cabling in the cardiovascular room.

• If the audio components are stacked in a stereo cabinet, ensure there is adequate ventilation.

LCS-TX (4 channel)

• Place the LCS transmitter in a well-ventilated area with the front and back easily accessible.

• Place the transmitter antenna eight to twelve feet (8’-12’) from the floor to obtain the best possible transmission range.

• Make sure the antenna is in the vertical position and within line of site to each receiver.

• The range of the LCS transmitter is a line of sight (300-foot diameter) from the transmitter antenna. (I.e., If you’re within

150 ft. and can physically see the antenna, you should have good reception.)

• Place the transmitter and audio equipment in a central location for best transmission coverage of the room.

LCS1 (single channel)

• The LCS1 transmitter may be mounted next to an audio component or TV.

• Place the LCS1 transmitter in a well-ventilated area with the front and back easily accessible.

• Make sure the antenna is in the vertical position and within line of site to each receiver.

• The range of the LCS1 transmitter is a line of sight (300-foot diameter) from the transmitter antenna. (I.e., If you’re within

150 ft. and can physically see the antenna, you should have good reception.)

LCS Receiver

• When attaching LCS Receivers to equipment, take care not to interfere with the normal operation of the equipment. If the

LCS Receiver is connected to a Cardio Theater ready piece of cardiovascular equipment the connection should not interfere
with normal operation.

• If attaching the LCS Receiver to a control panel, avoid covering controls or indicators.

• Attach the LCS Receivers securely with the wire ties provided. You should not be able to rotate the receiver when it is

properly attached. This is very important to prevent moisture and perspiration from entering the receiver through the
headphone jack or power connector on the back of the unit.
