Welcome to the world of multi-frequency FM
communication
Thank you for choosing the WallPilot, a fully automatic, wireless frequency
synchronizer especially developed for use with multi-frequency MicroLink receivers.
The WallPilot ensures that FM users entering a room are automatically switched to
the right channel. The process is fully automatic and completely independent of the
channel previously in use by the FM receiver. The WallPilot is ideal for schools and
other buildings where FM is used in several rooms at once.
The WallPilot is a Swiss quality product that will give many years of excellent service.

Choosing the right location
4
The choice of location depends on local conditions. Please consider the following:
• The WallPilot range is continuously adjustable from zero to two meters.
• The WallPilot synchronization signal reaches any FM receiver within the set range.
For this reason, FM users who are already in the room should not remain perma-
nently within the reception range of the WallPilot signal (see figure).
The WallPilot transmits its synchronization signal equally in all directions (360°).
The signal can pass through walls, meaning it may also be picked up by an FM
receiver outside the room.

The WallPilot is designed for mounting to a wall. Possible locations for the unit are:
• Inside the room, adjacent to the entrance door
The WallPilot then covers the room entry zone, which is the ideal location if there is
sufficient space. However, classroom desks and other working areas must be out of
range of the WallPilot.
• In a vacant area within the room
The floor can be marked to show where people should walk past in order to receive
the WallPilot synchronization signal. This option allows reduction of the operating
range to a minimum.
• In an entry corridor
This is the recommended position when the room is at the end of a corridor, and FM
users pass through the corridor solely for classroom access.
