TIPS

BEFORE PERMANENT INSTALLATION OF RECEIVER, CONSIDER

THE FOLLOWING.

• Identify location for RECEIVER that produces the best

sound quality.

• Ensure that the RECEIVER is located more than 1 foot

above the ground and that the power cord is extended

vertically as much as possible.

• DO NOT use an extension cord.

• Find a location for the TRANSMITTER (Silver box with

6 inch antenna) that produces the best sound quality.

GROUND

• It may be necessary to place the TRANSMITTER closer to

the RECEIVER to obtain optimum performance.

• Correct and optimum placement of TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER equipment

varies site-to-site due to numerous extraneous factors that cannot be

controlled.

• To ensure correct polarity, Connect the GREEN SPEAKER CABLE to the

TERMINALS marked SPEAKERS on the rear of the outdoor RECEIVER.

Place WHITE STRIPE GREEN CABLE on (+) terminal.

• Also to ensure correct polarity, when making the connection of the GREEN

SPEAKER CABLE to the SPEAKER LIGHT, ensure that the WHITE STRIPE on

the CABLE is properly aligned with the RIB located on the CONNECTOR.

This is required to ensure proper performance of the LiteSounds

PLEASE NOTE: FM TRANSMISSION SIGNALS CAN BE AFFECTED BY THE

FOLLOWING ITEMS. AVOID PLACEMENT IN THESE AREAS: EQUIPMENT AND

APPLIANCES LIKE A/C UNITS; POOL MOTORS; TRANSFORMERS AND OTHER

DEVICES THAT USE A LOT OF ELECTRICITY. BEWARE OF EQUIPMENT

(A/C UNITS, POOL PUMPS, ETC.) THAT OPERATE OCCASIONALLY SINCE

THEY WOULD ONLY INTERFERE WITH THE SYSTEM WHEN RUNNING.

IDENTIFY AND NOTE FM RADIO STATIONS IN THE AREA BETWEEN

106.9 MHZ AND 107.7 MHZ IN THE AREA. THE RECEIVER SHOULD BE

TUNED AWAY FROM ANY STRONG RADIO SIGNALS IN THIS RANGE.

POWER

The RECEIVER and the TRANSMITTER both can use 110vac power to operate

the LiteSounds

system. The TRANSMITTER can also operate on battery power

if desired. Optimum performance requires reliable AC power or batteries that

are providing rated voltage +/- 5%.

PLEASE NOTE: WHEN USING THE TRANSMITTER WITH 9V DC POWER

SUPPLY, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO TURN OFF THE TRANSMITTER.

WHEN YOU HAVE CONCLUDED LISTENING TO YOUR LITESOUNDS SYSTEM,

PLEASE REMEMBER TO TURN THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY DOWN ON

YOUR RECEIVER.

INSTALL GUIDE

PLEASE NOTE: IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE OPTIMUM RECEPTION IT IS

IMPORTANT TO TEST THE RECEPTION BASED ON 'PROPOSED' RECEIVER

AND TRANSMITTER PLACEMENT. ALTHOUGH THE SPEAKER LIGHTS CAN BE

ARRANGED AS DESIRED, PLACEMENT OF THE RECEIVER MAY REQUIRE A

DIFFERENT LOCATION THAT INITIALLY ANTICIPATED BASED ON OTHER

FACTORS LIKE A/C UNITS, POOL EQUIPMENT AND OTHER HEAVY USE

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT THAT CAN INTERFERE WITH FM RADIO SIGNALS.

LOCATE THE RECEIVER AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE POTENTIAL

TRANSMITTER LOCATION TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF INTERFERENCE.

ALTHOUGH LONGER RANGES ARE POSSIBLE, IF STRONG FM RADIO

STATIONS ARE PRESENT IN FREQUENCY RANGE AS INDICATED IN TABLE 1,

(SEE SECTION 6A) A SHORTER DISTANCE BETWEEN TRANSMITTER AND

RECEIVER WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

PLEASE NOTE: PROPER PLACEMENT OF RECEIVER IS REQUIRED TO INSURE

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
