INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your Wireless Audio Sender kit consists of a Sender base unit which
connects to the audio out jack on your PC (or any other audio
source), and a Receiver unit which connects to your stereo system in
another room. The Audio Sender converts the audio signal from your
PC into a radio frequency (RF) signal and transmits it (even through
walls) to the Audio Receiver unit. The Audio Receiver converts the
signal back to its original form and feeds it through a cable to your
stereo system.

This lets you listen to MP3 (or other audio) files (played in your PC) on
your stereo system in another room.

There are just a few simple steps to follow to hook up your Audio
Sender kit to your PC and stereo system.
