ListenWIFI
USER MANUAL
Bluetooth Triggering – Enables a Bluetooth beacon transmission allowing mobile devices to
1.
receive the beacon. Can be enabled or disabled (default enabled).
2. Bluetooth Power - Adjust the effective range of the beacon for mobile devices. Can be set to
Low, Medium, or High (see Beacon Range table).
3. Infrared Triggering – Enables an Infrared beacon transmission allowing Wi-Fi Audio Receivers to
receive the beacon. Can be enabled or disabled (default disabled).
4. Infrared Power - Adjust the effective range of the beacon for receivers. Can be set to Low,
Medium, or High (see Beacon Range table).
5. Transmit Interval – Adjusts how often the beacon signal is broadcast. Adjustable from 300mS
up to 5 seconds (default 1 second). A faster interval allows for a more responsive trigger from
listening devices but increases the power consumption.
6. LED Indicators – Enable/disable the blue status LED flash every 5 seconds shown during normal
operation. Default is enabled.
7. Low Battery LED - Enable/disable the red status LED flash every 5 seconds shown when
batteries are low. Default is enabled.
8. OTA Configuration – Enable/disable the over-the-air (OTA) connection method for
configuration. When disabled, the device cannot be connected to via Bluetooth for
configuration and must be directly connected via USB.
Powering Beacons
Beacons can be powered via a direct USB micro connection or by installing 2 AA alkaline batteries.
Direct USB power is recommended whenever possible. When using batteries, it is important to note
that the beacon will operate at a maximum level of medium power when in Infrared mode.
Beacon Installation
Beacons can be mounted to a wall or to a ceiling directly to a single gang electrical box, or directly
attached to sheetrock or flat surface with the mounting screws provided. It is recommended that
beacons be installed central to the listening area, as much as possible. Generally, the main thing is to
ensure that all users in a room or zone are within range of this beacon and the beacon signal is stronger
than any other beacons installed at the facility. This ensures that listening devices are triggered to the
correct channel for that space, and users are not falsely triggered to alternate rooms or channels. This is
best accomplished by ensuring that the beacon is placed in a central location with adequate coverage of
the room or zone.
