If the remote control doesn't control Lola
• Press the PC button on the Lola Remote.
• Check the USB cable on the Transceiver is connected to your computer.
• Make sure the tray icon is present in the Windows task bar. If it isn't run
Lola from the Windows Start button, or desktop shortcut.
• Press the Power button on the remote to launch Lola.
• Replace the Remote's batteries (4 x AAA alkaline).
If the range for the Lola Lola Lola Lola remote control is poor:
Lola
• Try locating the Transceiver away from the computer and the monitor.
If there is no sound:
Lola Lola
• Check the volume in Lola Lola Lola, the master volume on your computer, and the
volume on your TV or Home Theater System. If any of them are muted
or turned down too low you won't hear anything.
• Check the connections between your computer's sound card and your
speakers, or between your computer's sound card and the Audio/Video
Sender (for Wireless versions of the system).
If there's no picture (or sound) on your TV (Remote versions):
1. Make sure your Audio/Video Receiver is connected to power and turned
On.
2. Select the appropriate video input on your TV. Usually you can select the
input mode by pressing the VIDEO or INPUT button on the TV's
remote control. Or you might have to change the TV to Channel 0 or 2,
and then use Channel Down to change video inputs. See your TV's
owner's manual if you still aren't sure how to change the video source.
3. Make sure your Video Sender is connected to power and turned on.
4. Follow the setup instructions again and check that you have done each
step correctly.
5. Make sure that the ABCD switches on the top of the Audio/Video
Sender and the bottom of the Audio/Video Receiver are set to the same
letter. (See pictures on next page).

If the picture (or sound) on your TV isn't clear (Wireless versions):
First, adjust the antennas on the Audio/Video Sender and Receiver so that
they point towards each other. The sides of the antennas marked with four
squares should face each other. You can also try moving the Receiver itself
to another location near the TV. Sometimes moving it just a foot can make a
big difference.

If the picture/sound still doesn't improve after adjusting the antennas and
Receiver position, try changing the channels on the Audio/Video Sender and
Receiver. The channel switch is on the top on the Sender (under the flip-up
antenna) and on the bottom on the Receiver. Change the setting on both the
Sender and Receiver, making sure they are set to the same letter (A, B, C,
or D). Try different letter settings to see if the picture/sound improves.
You may still have trouble getting a clear picture if there is something in the
area using the same frequencies as the Lola system. The following things
can interfere with the transmission: 2.4 GHz cordless phones, wireless
networks, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. If you have any of these,
turn them off to see if the problem goes away.
If your picture has been fine and suddenly becomes distorted or fuzzy, look
for new things in your house that might be causing interference.
