Frequently asked questions
Connection problems and problems with link quality
Question
I have successfully installed my
MC W770, the wireless USB
adapter and the software, and it
worked nicely until recently. Now I
have placed the MC W770 in a
different room, and it is not able to
connect anymore.The display
shows NO CONNECTION.What can
I do?
My PC Link has already worked
nicely, but since recently this is
no longer the case.
How can the transmission
channel be changed?

Answer
Please check if your PC is still running and if the
wireless USB adapter is installed correctly.
The MC W770 PC link uses radio waves
to link between the PC and audio device.
The output power is limited by legal
regulations, and therefore also the distance
in which the PC link works is limited. Usually
the PC link function works inside a typical
single family house without problems. But the
radio-waves are dampened especially by walls,
ceilings and also by metal in your furniture.
Some golden rules to improve your link
quality:The PC and the MC W770 should not
be placed more than one floor and two walls
from each other. (This depends strongly on the
wall material).The wireless USB adapter
should be placed more than 20 cm (8 inches)
away from metal plates, e.g. it should not be
placed on top of your PC or your monitor,
or even too close to them. Use the extension
cable to get some distance from your PC.Try
different positions for the wireless USB
adapter, some centimetres (inches) can already
help! Try the same with your MC W770.
It is possible that in your area or close
neighbourhood a new network has been
installed. Use the installation CD to switch
to another channel.
There is an easy way to change the network
transmission channel, by using the Change
transmission channel network utility
from the installation CD-ROM. For more
information please refer to the IFU chapter
