If you are using the LR-100’s power amplifier, make sure the unit is given sufficient room around the ventilation holes. If you are rack mounting the LR-100, use the optional LA-326 rack mounting kit. This kit allows for single and dual rack mounting, and comes with a security cover.

There are two unbalanced phono audio OUTPUT connectors. The nominal OUTPUT audio level is -10dBu. AUXILIARY Input The LR-100 has an AUXILIARY input that allows for greater functionality of the unit for a variety of applications. The AUXILIARY input consists of a balanced input, combination connector (female XLR and ¼ in) and two unbalanced phono connectors.
LR-100 Installation - Audio Connections OUTPUT Audio The OUTPUT audio section is composed of an OUTPUT audio selection switch, a male XLR balanced audio OUTPUT connector and two phono unbalanced audio OUTPUT connectors. OUTPUT Audio Selection Switch This switch selects what audio is routed to the OUTPUT audio connectors. The switch has three positions: RX ONLY.
CAUTION: When installing antennas, ensure the antenna is clear of power lines. NOTES: If the RF signal to the 216 MHz model is too high, the audio will be distorted. This may happen if the LR-100 is within 40 feet of the LT-800-216 transmitter. Consider reducing the output power of the transmitter or optionally removing the antenna on the LR-100 (there is sufficient internal antenna inside the LR-100 to receive an adequate signal from the transmitter).
Selecting SQ ON or OFF See Listen SQ™ on page 15. If the transmitter that is broadcasting to the LR-100 is SQ capable, make sure the SQ switch for the transmitter and the LR-100 is turned ON. If not, the SQ switch should be turned OFF.
Squelch Adjustment Squelch The squelch adjustment is important to ensure the receiver audio is muted when no signal is present. You want to set the squelch adjustment for the highest setting without squelching the incoming signal. To set the squelch control: Turn the transmitter OFF.
Make sure the transmitter and receiver are on the same channel. Make sure that the SQ switch is set the same way either ON or OFF for both the transmitter and receiver. Make sure the audio level is not set too high.
To reduce noise of our systems, Listen now offers a noise reduction technology called ListenSQ™. Both the transmitter and receiver must have SQ on to achieve the desired results. SQ is now available on new Listen systems, including the system you received in this shipment.
It is highly recommended that after channel selection has been achieved, you lock the channel so that it cannot be changed by the user. To accomplish LOCK on the LR-100, press the SEEK button for 5 seconds. Repeat the process to unlock. It is important to choose channels that are free from interference to achieve proper operation of your Listen equipment.
In this condition, the LR-100 will no longer function normally. If the LR-100 stops functioning normally, do the following: Turn the unit off and unplug it from power. If you are operating the LR-100 with an external +12VDC source such as a battery, disconnect the power source from the unit.
Coaxial Cable The antenna for the LR-100 can be mounted directly on the unit if desired. However, you may find that the unit will provide better performance when the antenna is located elsewhere. If you plan to mount the antenna in a different location than on the top of the unit, you must use cable and connectors rated at 50 ohms.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
