Dali OBERON C SOUND HUB COMPACT User manual

SOUND HUB COMPACT
Diagnostics Mode and Manual Channel Selection
The DALI wireless speaker systems are designed to work seamlessly out the box, and for the majori of cases the default
factory seings will ensure a plug and play experience.
However, In homes and environments busy with technology it is sometimes possible for the DALI SOUND HUB COMPACT
temporarily to lose the connection with the speakers when the wireless channel in use becomes congested. You may notice
your music repeatedly drops-out for a moment as the wireless connection automatically switches to an alternative channel.
The first potential solution to this problem is to ensure that any unused wireless equipment nearby is switched o. Even
when in standby or sleep mode, some wireless equipment will still broadcast a signal and consume bandwidth, so if it is
unused, it is best fully Switched o.
If however you still experience occasional drop-outs, you can reconfigure your SOUND HUB COMPACT to remain
connected via a fixed Wireless channel rather than switching channels automatically. This will prompt other wireless
equipment in your home automatically to switch to alternative channels and release more bandwidth for your wireless DALI
system.
To manually configure your SOUND HUB COMPACT to use a fixed wireless channel, follow the Steps described on the
folowing pages.

COMPACT Link & Connect buon for 10 seconds then release it.
This will launch the SOUND HUB COMPACT wireless diagnostic
mode, where it is possible to read the wireless channel and

will now illuminate as will one of indicators 1 to 6.
Indicators 8 + 10 indicates the wireless diagnostics mode
