INTRODUCTION

This WSP155 Wireless Speaker system uses the latest 900 MHz RF technology that enables you to enjoy stereo sound anywhere around your home—even outside on your deck or patio! Just follow the simple instructions to connect the transmitter to any audio source (CD, DBS, VCR, Stereo, Radio or TV) for full stereo sound without the need to run wires to your speakers. You may place the speakers anywhere within range (approx. 325 feet) of the transmitter to receive the stereo signal.

FEATURES

900 MHz RF technology

RF technology allows high degree of freedom for speaker placement

Operating distance up to 150ft*/45m*

No line-of-sight limitation

ALC and auto ON/OFF control

Convenient power, volume and tuning controls located on the speakers

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

With proper care, your speaker system will provide you with years of enjoyment. Here are a few guidelines to follow in caring for your system:

Always use a soft cloth to clean the speakers and transmitter. If required, you may use a mild detergent and warm water to clean any dirt or dust from the component surfaces. Never use any product containing alcohol or other solvents as they may damage the surface.

Use caution when plugging the power transformers in an AC outlet to avoid the risk of electric shock.

Never expose the speakers or transmitter to rain or moisture as this may cause damage. If the speakers are used outside on a deck or patio, make sure you take them indoors in the event of a rainstorm to prevent possible damage.

Do not operate or store the system in extreme temperatures below 32°F (0°C) and above 122°F (50°C).

*Range may vary by environment.

INSTALLATION

TRANSMITTER

1.Plug the supplied AC power adapter into an electrical outlet near your audio source. Make sure it is the one for the transmitter (“DC 12.5V”)—the two for the speakers are marked accordingly.

2.Connect the plug end of the power adapter to the DC jack located on the back of the transmitter (see diagram). The green LED indicator light on the top panel will glow when an active audio source is detected. The LED indicates the unit is transmitting which indicates the unit is receiving power.

3.Locate the audio input cord on the back of the transmitter. The 3.5 mm standard plug can be used to fit most headphone output

jacks in audio equipment. If you are connecting to the audio output jacks from a TV, amplifier, etc. then plug the audio input cord into the “Y” adapter that is provided to adapt standard RCA type audio plugs for the audio source.

4.Turn on the audio source. The CHANNEL SELECTION CONTROL is located on the back of the transmitter. Select the desired channel by using the switch on the back of the transmitter. This channel can later be switched to achieve optimal audio reception.

This speaker system has automatic ON/OFF control that automatically turns the transmitter on if there is an audio signal detected and the green LED light on the top of the transmitter will glow. Once the audio source is switched off, the ON/OFF control will turn off power and stop transmitting to the speakers and the green LED will be off (after a 4 minutes timeout period).

INSTALLATION (continued)

This system also features ALC (Automatic Level Controls). ALC prevents audible distortion of the input signal and maintains an optimal level of the input signal. The ALC prevents overloads that can occur from suddenly raising input signal.

SPEAKER RECEIVER

1.You may use either the AC adapter or 4-“D” size alkaline batteries (sold separately) to power the speaker. Make sure the “Volume On/Off Control” knob is turned to the off position.

2.If you are using the AC adapter, locate the ones marked “For Speaker” on the label and plug them into an electrical outlet located near the location for each speaker. Then, insert the plug end into the DC INPUT jack located on the back of the speaker. If you are using batteries, remove the BATTERY DOOR and insert 4-“D” size alkaline batteries in each speaker making sure to insert the batteries in the correct polarity as indicated. Once the batteries are inserted correctly, replace the battery door by first inserting the 2 tabs into the back cabinet slots then closing it until it snaps in place at the bottom tab. Check to make sure it is closed securely before moving the speakers. You can expect the batteries to last approximately 15 hours total when the speakers are played at a mid-volume level.

IMPORTANT: Do not mix batteries with different chemistry types (for example, a zinc battery with an alkaline battery). Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not leave batteries installed in the product when not in use for long periods.

3.Position the speakers about 20 feet away from the transmitter to perform this tuning setup. Turn on the speakers using the VOLUME control and set them to the desired listening level.

If you hear static or noise and the signal is not clear change the CHANNEL SELECTION CONTROL on the back of the transmitter and then try to tune the speakers using the AUTO SCAN button on each one. The green LED next to the AUTO SCAN button will illuminate green when a clear signal is being detected. If you still do not receive a clear signal, make certain that other RF devices that use RF frequencies such as cordless phones, cell phones and baby monitors are disabled as they can cause interference.

4.The BASS BOOST switch on the front of the speaker can be used to enhance the sound depending on your own music preferences.

To improve the bass response of the speaker, simply press the button. The green LED will illuminate when the BASS BOOST is active.

5.Once you have properly followed the setup procedure, you may position the speakers in any location within approximately 325 feet of the transmitter to enjoy quality stereo sound.

OPERATION NOTES

If you notice a disruption of the sound or the signal breaks up, press the AUTON SCAN button on the speakers to maximize stereo reception.

If you hear interference from other sources, select a different channel on the back of the transmitter then re-tune the speakers the same way as described in the setup procedure. You may have to try several settings to find the one that works best in your home.

When transmitting or receiving over long distances, the signal from the system will become weak and the stereo indicator light will go dim. If this occurs, move the speakers to a new location closer to the transmitter to receive a stronger signal.

For protection of the transmitter and to save power, the transmitter will cut off automatically in approximately 4 minutes if there is no audio signal, or if the signal is weak. The green LED indicator light will then turn off. Once the audio signal is restored, the transmitter will turn on and the green LED will glow.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

No sound

A)

Check that power adapters and/or batteries are

 

 

connected properly and that power is on.

 

B)

Make sure the control knob on the speaker is ON.

 

C)

If using batteries, they may be too weak to

 

 

power the speakers. Replace the batteries.

 

D)

Ensure the TV or audio component is on

 

 

and that the unit is receiving an adequate

 

 

audio signal.

 

E)

The volume control knob on the speaker is set

 

 

too low. Adjust the volume if required.

 

 

 

Distorted sound

A)

Ensure the stereo indicator light on each

 

 

speaker is on. If not, adjust the tuning controls

 

 

for each until the light is on.

 

B)

Change the position of the CHANNEL

 

 

SELECTION CONTROL on the transmitter.

 

 

Then press the AUTO SCAN button on each

 

 

speaker until the indicator light is on.

 

C)

Speaker batteries may be too weak. Replace

 

 

with fresh batteries.

 

D)

The speakers are too far from the transmitter

 

 

to receive a strong signal. Move them closer to

 

 

the transmitter.

 

E)

The input level of the audio signal is too low.

 

 

Turn up the volume on the audio source to

 

 

increase the signal level so that the green LED

 

 

indicator light on the transmitter glows.
