Safety Instructions
OVERHEATING
The recommended ventilation clearances and other precautions given in the relevant section
of this instruction leaflet should be observed to prevent overheating. No unit should be
fixed where it is likely to become smothered by soft furnishing fabrics such as curtains, or by
thermal insulation material in a roof space or building void. Mains powered equipment
should not be left resting on a carpet.
WATER AND FIRE RISKS
The appliance is not waterproof. It is intended for indoor use only and must not be fixed
where it could be exposed to dripping or splashing water. Objects containing liquids should
not be placed on or near the appliance.
To prevent risk of fire, no object with a naked flame should be placed on or near the appliance,
or its associated wiring.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The proWSS1 provides a short-range licence-exempt wireless AV link. It can be used to
transmit video, and accompanying stereo audio, from any source which provides standard
baseband outputs (audio and composite video). This product must not be used to provide
an audio-only link.
The proWSS1 system includes a wireless infrared remote control return link. This allows
an AV source to be operated remotely, using its usual handset. The link can also be used
to control ancillary equipment such as a separate satellite dish positioner, or a SCART
switch (for source switching).
In these instructions the equipment providing the AV signal to be transmitted is referred
to as the AV source. The receiving end of the link is referred to as the remote location. To
use this product the TV in the remote location must have at least one AV input (SCART
socket or phono sockets).
Examples of AV sources
n Video cassette recorder (VCR) or DVD player.
n PC tuner cards or TV-OUT from graphics card.
n CCTV camera.
n Digital TV receiver boxes.
n Cable TV boxes, analogue or digital (see note below regarding remote control
compatibility with digital cable boxes).
Application examples
n Watch VCR, DVD or satellite TV in a bedroom, study or on childrens TV without extra
wiring.
n Baby monitoring.
n Monitor a remote security camera on a TV in the house.
Limitations
The proWSS1 does not take the place of a wired aerial distribution system. It can only
transmit one AV source at a time. It works with video and audio signals and not with the
RF signals from an aerial. The TV at the remote location still requires an aerial connection
for watching normal off-air TV.
The proWSS1 must not be used to provide an audio-only link. (This is a legal
restriction related to licence exemption, rather than a technical limitation.)
The remote control extender system is compatible with many manufacturers products,
but universal compatibility is not guaranteed. The remote control extender system in this
product is not compatible with some digital cable TV boxes in the UK.
Users should be aware that wireless links may not be secure. A neighbour using the
same or similar equipment may be able to receive and watch your AV source material.
Operating range
The proWSS1 system is intended to be operable over a range of a few metres in buildings
of standard masonry and timber construction. In practice the usable operating range will
vary considerably, depending on the nature of building materials and other obstructions
between transmitter and receiver. Large metallic obstructions, such as foil-backed
plasterboard, will cause a screening effect and may reduce the usable range considerably.

System components
Transmitter connects to the AV source at the sending end of the link; also acts as a
receiver for remote control commands coming from the remote location.
Receiver connects to TV display at the remote location. The receiver also contains an
infrared eye and UHF radio transmitter for sending remote control commands to the
source equipment.
IR emitters optionally used with the transmitter to relay infrared remote control
commands to the source equipment.
Power units used with the transmitter and receiver; for use with standard UK 13A
socket-outlets only.
Connecting cables two identical AV cables for connecting between the source and
transmitter, and between the receiver and TV.
SCART adapters used where necessary to convert between the phono plugs on the
cables and SCART sockets on the source and TV. Observe the colour coding of the phono
sockets, which should be matched to the plugs during installation. Important: the two
SCART adapters are different and cannot be interchanged between the AV source and
remote location ends of the link (see installation diagrams, Figs. 2 & 3).
Transmitter and receiver locations
Locate the transmitter and receiver in convenient positions near to the AV source
equipment and remote location TV. Avoid placing the transmitter or receiver on top of a
stack of other equipment as this may result in overheating. Clearance of at least 50 mm
should be allowed above and around the units for ventilation. Ensure that the transmitter
and receiver will not become smothered by fabrics (such as curtains) or by other thermally
insulating materials.
Where the link is being used toward the limit of its range it will be necessary to experiment
with the equipment locations to obtain best picture and sound quality. Positions which
provide a high clear view towards the other end of the link will usually be best.

Phono connections
Equipment with phono connectors (also known as RCA or Cinch) can be connected to
the transmitter or receiver simply by omitting the SCART adapter(s) shown in Figs.2 and
3. Plug the proWSS1 cable directly into the equipment, ensuring that each plug is inserted
into the matching coloured socket yellow for video, red for the right audio channel and
white for the left audio channel.
Remote control emitters
Position the emitter(s) on or near the front(s) of AV source (or ancillary) equipment to be
controlled from the remote location. It may be necessary to experiment with the exact
position of the emitter(s) to obtain reliable remote control operation. When suitable
positions have been found, secure the emitters with the self-adhesive pads.
If only one emitter is used, tuck the other one away out-of-sight behind the equipment.
Do not cut off the unused emitter as this will stop the remote control system working.
Power units
The power units supplied are for use with standard UK (BS 1363) mains socket-outlets
only. Before connecting this equipment to the mains supply, read the safety instructions
on page 8.
To install, connect the lead from the power unit into the socket marked 9V DC on the
back of the transmitter or receiver, then plug the power unit into a suitably located mains
socket outlet and switch on.
Disconnect the power units from the mains whenever the equipment is to remain unused
for long periods of time.
Operation selecting a channel
The transmitter and receiver operate on one of four frequency channels, 1 - 4, indicated
by LEDs on the units. Channel 1 is selected by default at switch-on and will be OK in most
cases. If picture interference is experienced, experiment with use of the other channels in
turn and select the channel which gives the best results. To select a channel, press the
CHANNEL button repeatedly until the appropriate LED lights.
The transmitter and receiver must both be set to the same channel, otherwise no signal
will be received. Other than for channel 1 it is necessary to re-select the desired operating
channel when switching the units back on, or after a power cut.
Avoiding interference
To avoid causing interference to other 2.4 GHz wireless products, the transmitter should
be switched off when not in use. This will also reduce the risk of interference with normal
(local) operation of remote controls on the A/V source equipment.

Transmitter and receiver connections
The transmitter and receiver can be connected in many different ways, depending on the
type of equipment providing the AV source, and on other equipment in use with the
remote location TV. This leaflet provides general guidance only. You may find it helpful to
refer to the instructions for the accompanying AV equipment.
Fig.2a shows the basic transmitter connections. This configuration is appropriate where
the AV source is a single item of equipment such as a camera, camcorder or VCR. In the
last case the connection to the local TV must be made with an RF (aerial) cable.
Fig.2b shows how more than one item of source equipment can be connected. The principle
is that the SCART lead that would usually go to the main TV is diverted to the transmitter,
and an RF (aerial lead) connection is used for the main TV. Source selection can be made
from the remote location, provided that both items of source equipment are IR controlled.
Digital source equipment may need to be configured to provide a composite video output,
rather than RGB, for this set-up to work.
Fig.3a shows the basic receiver connections. The aerial and its downlead should be omitted
in monitoring applications where off-air TV is not required.
Fig.3b shows how the receiver can be added to a remote location installation with a TV
and dual-SCART VCR.
Fig.3c shows a VCR and digital satellite receiver in use with a TV which has two or more
SCART connectors. This set-up is recommended where the proWSS1 system is being
used for baby or security monitoring on the main TV. (Best picture quality from a digital
receiver or DVD player will usually be obtained by connecting the receiver or DVD to
SCART input 1 of the TV and, if necessary, configuring it to provide RGB output. The
proWSS1 receiver should be connected to SCART input 2 or 3.)
