Anschließen des Senders

1. Connect the provided USB cable to the 5V==1A port on the transmitter unit. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a suitable USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, not included, or a USB port on your audio source device if available).
2. Using the supplied RCA cable and adaptor, connect the 'LINE IN' RCA inputs on the transmitter to the subwoofer output (LFE or Sub Out) of your audio source (e.g., AV receiver, pre-amplifier). Ensure correct polarity (red to red, white to white if applicable, or use the single LFE connection).
3. Place the transmitter in a location that allows for a clear line of sight to the receiver, ideally within 30 meters.

2. Ensure the subwoofer is powered on. The receiver draws power directly from the subwoofer.

Pairing the Units

The transmitter and receiver units are typically pre-paired from the factory. If they do not connect automatically, follow these steps to manually pair them:

1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass sowohl die Sender- als auch die Empfängereinheit eingeschaltet sind.
2. Press and hold the 'PAIR' button on the transmitter unit for a few seconds until its indicator light begins to flash.
3. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the 'PAIR' button on the receiver unit (located on the side or top, depending on the model) until its indicator light also begins to flash.
4. Once both lights stop flashing and remain solid, the units are successfully paired.
