IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Danger
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent
hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing
loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently
intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified
the following permissible noise level exposures:

DURATION PER DAY (HOURS) 8 6 4 3 2 1
SOUND LEVEL (dB) 90 93 95 97 100 103

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could
result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over
the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to
prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as
put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to
equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this
amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in
operation.

T2FAM-EX Quick Setup Guide for Use With NuVoNet

The T2FAM-EX Dual Tuner is the perfect broadcast music solution for whole-home audio. The internal NuVoNet capability of the
T2FAM-EX allows it to easily communicate in real time with the NuVo Grand Concerto and Essentia E6G Control Pads. The following
is a step-by-step guide for setting up and installing the T2FAM-EX for use with the Grand Concerto and Essentia NuVoNet Suites.

Step 1: Upon unpacking your T2FAM-EX Tuner, establish what audio inputs, 1-6, the T2’s A and B audio outputs will represent. Plug
the T2 into an AC power source.

Step 2: Attach the audio outputs A and B of the Tuner to the appropriate numbered inputs on the Grand Concerto or Essentia
System.

Step 3: Connect the CAT5 from the NuVoNet output on the rear panel of the Tuner to one of the Device inputs on the Grand Concerto
EZ Port or the Essentia Allport. This will enable communication to the System’s Control Pads. Note that a single CAT5 connection
provides information from both tuners A and B. A final CAT5 Connection should then be made to the NuVoNet CAT5 input on the
back panel of the Grand Concerto or Essenita main amplifier for the NuVoNet RJ45 on the Grand Concerto EZ Port or the Essentia
Allport. This completes the necessary connection for the NuVoNet communication.

2

Step 4: Complete the antenna connection on the back panel of the Tuner using standard RG6 coaxial cable. Quad shielded cable is
recommended. When the antenna is connected, the Tuner will begin receiving a signal for both Tuners A and B.

Step 5: When the Tuner is plugged into an AC power source the front panel display will move through a boot procedure. When this
procedure is complete a message,  Uninitialized State Detected will appear.

Step 6: Following the prompt from the display, touch the OK button on the Tuner’s front panel control. This will display a regional
tuning selection, USA and Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Make to appropriate selection to match the Tuner s
geographic location.

Step 7: Touching OK on the front panel controls will prompt a second screen on the display. This will read, Set Tuner A Mode,
Standalone, Source 1, Source 2, Source 3, Source 4, Source 5, and Source 6. The top selection, Standalone, will be highlighted. This

choice is used for any purpose that is not NuVoNet communication. Using the down arrow on the far right of the front panel
controls, scroll to the desired source input number, and touch OK to select. The display will automatically go to Tuner B setup.
Repeat the steps for setting Tuner A. If NuVoNet is not connected or all available sources have been assigned, then the source
selections will be grayed out.

Step 8: When the desired source number is selected, the display will return to the first screen. Both outputs A and B will display
the lowest AM band frequency by default. At this point full tuning capability can be done from the Tuner’s front panel, or an
addressed NuVo Control Pad.

Step 9: When both Tuner outputs are set, make sure the  NuVoNet CAT5 connection between the Tuner s back panel and the
system EZ Port is complete.

The T2FAM-EX Tuner is now ready for NuVoNet communication with either the Grand Concerto or Essentia E6G distributed audio
systems.

Please see the complete installation guide for understanding the full use of your T2FAM-EX Tuner.
