CAUTION: The apparatus should not be exposed to water (dripping or splashing) and no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances should be placed on a dedicated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or
branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance,
and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked,
pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the
point where the cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the unit, unplug the unit from the outlet. When installing the product,
ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

Be careful of the following

• Set the distance between this unit and Wireless Receiver within 10m.

• Optimum performance can be implemented only when the Wireless
Transmitter and the Wireless Receiver within distance of 2m to 10m is used
since communication failure may occur if longer distance is used.

• Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the
components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack bass.

•

It takes a few seconds (and may take longer) for the

Wireless Transmitter

and

Wireless Receiver

to communicate with each other.

• When the unit is turned off, the Wireless Transmitter is in standby mode (off)
automatically after about 10 seconds.

• If the Wireless Transmitter is turned off, the Wireless Receiver will not
function.

About Ferrite Core (for EMI only) (optional)

Be sure to attach the ferrite core to the speaker cables (for connecting to
this unit).

This ferrite core can reduce noises.

How to attach the ferrite core (optional)

1 Press the stopper [a] of the ferrite core to open.
2 Wind the cable once on the ferrite core. Attach the ferrite core near the

unit (Refer to the fig.3 and comment.).

3 Close the ferrite core until it clicks.

The length
here is as
short as
possible.

Be careful of the following

If there is a strong electromagnetic wave product nearby, interference may
occur. Put the unit (Wireless Receiver and main unit) away from there.(Ex:
Microwave oven)
If there is no audio signal for longer than 10 minutes, the Wireless Receiver
and Wireless Transmitter will be automatically switched to standby mode. In
power saving mode, both LEDs will turn red. LEDs will turn blue when there is
any audio signal back.
