We take this opportunity to thank you for buying this product.

We recommend you read the instruction manual before switching on the machine and follow the instruc­tions that are given. Keep the manual for future reference.

SECURITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

ELECTRICAL SECURITY
Check that the current in the mains connection where the machine is to be installed corresponds to the
power supply of the machine.
To avoid damaging the equipment, electrical shocks, fire or physical injury when you connect or disconnect
the equipment from the power supply, pull the plug firmly out of the mains socket holding the plug, never the
cable.
Always do this with dry hands.
Keep the power supply cable far from sources of heat. Do not put heavy objects on top of it or change it.
Clean dust and dirt off the power supply cable regularly.
Do not open the machine; you could get an electric shock.

CAUTION
While installing the machine, make sure it is switched off and unplugged.
Do not open the machine. Touching the internal parts is dangerous and you could receive an electric shock.
The machine must not be splashed or dripped on. Never place recipients with liquid inside on the machine.
Do not place anything inside the machine.

LOCATION
Place the equipment on a horizontal surface with enough space around it to allow ventilation.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and excessive dust.
Do not place the machine near magnetic fields or static electricity.
Do not use surfaces which vibrate or receive impact.
Do not pile machines on top of one another.

VENTILATION
Never block or cover the ventilation slits on the machine.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight or place it near sources of heat.

PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
When the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
If you are using an adapter, take into account that it will continue using electricity even if the machine is swit­ched off. If it is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.

THE ENVIRONMENT
To save energy, switch the machine off when you are not going to use it for a long time. The machine could
contain substances that are harmful to the environment or human health. To minimize the effect of these
substances the machine must be correctly managed and recycled when you decide to dispose of it.
When you dispose of it remember: it cannot be thrown into a conventional rubbish bin.
If it contains or uses batteries, these must be disposed of separately.
The machine (without batteries) must be disposed of correctly. Put it in a container specially intended for the
collection of electronic and electrical appliances, at the dump or hand it over to the dealer when you purchase
similar equipment, so that the dealer can dispose of it correctly (at no added cost).

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SYMBOLS ON THE MACHINE*

The symbol formed by the expression “Class 1 laser product” written in a rectangle indi­cates that visible or invisible laser radiation could be produced. Avoid direct expose to the
laser.

The symbol formed by a ray of lightening inside a triangle shows that the machine has con­nection terminals or a circuit with areas with a current which could cause an electric shock,
even in normal working conditions.

The symbol formed by an exclamation mark in a triangle shows that the instruction manual
must be referred to for information on how the machine works and its use.

The symbol formed by one square inside another square shows that the machine has dou­ble electrical insulation.

The European Community symbol shows that the machine complies with the current Eu­ropean Union legislation, as well as its transposition to local legislation.

The symbol of a rubbish bin crossed out and over a horizontal line shows that when the pro­duct is disposed of it must be done properly, placing it in a special selective electronic and
electrical equipment container or through a dealer when purchasing a similar product, at no
additional cost. It also shows that the machine was put on the market after 13th August
2005 (European Community Directive 2002/96/CE of Electrical and Electronic recycling,
and its Spanish equivalent R.D.208/2005).

In accordance with what is set out in the aforementioned decree, FONESTAR is registered
in the RAEE (Registro de Aparatos Eléctricos y Electrónicos) in a special section REI (Re­gistro de establecimientos Industriales), with the entry number 001851.

*It is possible that some of these symbols do not appear on the machine.

The characteristics of the equipment and the content of the manual can change without forewarning.
FONESTAR, S.A. does not assume responsibilities regarding the inappropriate use of the equipment or the
information supplied in this instruction manual, and specifically disclaims any implied liability for marketabi­lity or fitness for any other use.

DESCRIPTION

IP audio receiver with line output.
Manages background music, programmed and instant messages, alarms and voice messages using the
software included. It has 4 level inputs and 4 output relays for event activation and external device control.
Automatic network parameter setting.

The perfect solution for large shopping centres, schools, office blocks etc.

CONNECTION

- Connect the AIP-3010 receiver to the local area network using the ethernet port, RJ-45.

- Connect the LINE OUT audio output to the amplifier or power amp.

- Connect the equipment to the mains.

CONFIGURATION

Allocating an IP address to the device

The AIP-3010 receiver obtains an IP address automatically as long as the router has the DCHP activated.
Otherwise, it has to be allocated manually. Use the selection keys on the front panel of the receiver to do this:

- Press OK to access the main menu.

- Select the configuration option using the up and down selection keys and press OK.

- Select the Net option and press OK. Then select Edit/Editar and press OK again.

- Select FIXED IP/IP FIJA and press OK. A screen will appear that will let you set the IP address (IP), the
subnet mask (MS) and the gateway (PE) manually. At the same time the left and right selection keys let you
move one of the digits from every group of eight and the up and down selection keys let you modify the
value of the selected digit. Once the desired information has been inserted, select the ACCEPT/ACEPTAR
option using the left or right keys to save the changes or CANCEL/CANCELAR to return to the previous
menu and press OK again.

Allocating a name to the AIP-3010 receiver

Using the selection keys on the front panel of the receiver give the receiver a name that will be seen in the
network:

- Press OK to access the main menu.

- Select the configuration/configuración option using the up and down selection keys and press OK.

- Select EQUIPMENT NAME/NOMBRE DE EQUIPO and press OK. The receiver screen will show the current
name (by default it is ECEPTORXXX, where XXX are the last 3 numbers from the last octave of the IP
assigned by default). Innsert the new name and press OK. Select the ACCEPT/ACEPTAR option using the
left or right selection keys to save the changes or CANCEL/CANCELAR to return to the previous menu and
press OK again.

AIP-GO

- After connecting the AIP-3010 receiver to the local network, install the AIP-Go software in the PC. To do
this you must insert the CD supplied into your computer and follow the installation instructions shown on
