WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF THE LITESOUNDS®COMBINATION LOW
VOLTAGE LIGHTING AND WIRELESS SOUND SYSTEM. LITESOUNDS®COMES COMPLETE
WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE. NO DIGGING OR TRENCHING
IS REQUIRED. LITESOUNDS®WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY ELIMINATES THE NEED TO RUN WIRES FROM
YOUR HOME STEREO THROUGH THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR HOME TO OUTDOOR LOUDSPEAKERS.
PLANNING INSTALLATION
• Plan to place the RECEIVER near an outdoor electrical outlet.
• Determine which areas of your landscape you want to highlight with
outdoor LIGHTING and which areas you want to add SOUND.
• Attach the GROUND STAKES to the threaded base of each FIXTURE.
• Place the first FIXTURE at least 10ft. from the location of the outdoor
RECEIVER.
• Then continue placing the FIXTURES in their approximate locations around
the landscape.
• Lay the BLACK LIGHTING CABLE and GREEN SPEAKER CABLE on the ground to
within 3ft. of each FIXTURE.
• HINT - For now, you will simply lay the CABLE on the ground. As you lay the
CABLE, be sure and leave a foot or two at each FIXTURE so that it will be easy
to move them in case you wish to change the layout. Simply "loop" a foot of
CABLE at the FIXTURE location. After testing the system, the exposed wiring can
be covered by mulch, hidden in ground cover or tamped into a slit in the turf.
SAFETY

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.
OVERVIEW
In most cases, installation of the LiteSounds®product can be done as
outlined in the instruction manual. Beyond that, below are the most common
approaches that will improve timely set-up of the LiteSounds®product.
INSTALLING THE OUTDOOR RECEIVER
• Once you have connected the CABLES, you can mount the
outdoor RECEIVER.
• Install the mounting SCREWS (supplied) into the exterior
wall of your home at the following coordinates at least
1 foot above the ground.
• Leave 1/2 inch of the SCREW exposed to insert into the
mounting holes of the outdoor RECEIVER.
• Mount outdoor RECEIVER to exterior wall.
• Plug in outdoor RECEIVER to AC outlet.
• Ensure that your RECEIVER is plugged directly into a good
working electrical outlet (Not for use with an
extension cord).
• You can plug your portable audio device directly into your
RECEIVER when you are outdoors. Use a 3.5mm
male straight CABLE.
CAUTION: THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS USED AS THE
MAIN DISCONNECT DEVICE, ENSURE THAT THE SOCKET-
OUTLET IS LOCATED/INSTALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT
AND IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE. THE OUTDOOR RECEPTACLE
MUST HAVE A HOODED FLUSH-TYPE COVER PLATE
MARKED “WET LOCATION” WHILE IN USE.
CONNECTING THE OUTDOOR RECEIVER
• Use ONLY LiteSounds®UL approved 16 AWG/2C underground low
energy, sunlight resistant, DIRECT BURIAL CABLE (UL E253413) with
LiteSounds®FIXTURE CONNECTORS.
• Strip 5/8” of the insulation at one end of each of the CABLES.
• Connect the GREEN SPEAKER CABLE to the
TERMINALS marked SPEAKERS on the rear
of the outdoor RECEIVER. Place WHITE
STRIPE GREEN CABLE on (+) terminal.
• Connect BLACK LIGHTING CABLE to the
terminals marked LIGHTS on the rear of the
outdoor RECEIVER.
• To connect the CABLES, Loosen the
SCREWS, insert the bare ends of the CABLE
and tighten the SCREWS.
CONNECTING THE LIGHTS AND SPEAKERS
The LiteSounds®FIXTURES are connected to the main CABLE
assemblies using COLOR CODED PIERCE-POINT CONNECTORS.
Inside the CONNECTOR are small, ALUMINUM STABS which pierce
the wire insulation in order to make a proper electrical connection. Make sure
the wire is aligned so the ALUMINUM STABS pierce the center of the wires,
and not the outside edges.
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.
• 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®speaker.
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.
CONFINED AREAS SURROUNDED BY METAL OR METAL OBJECTS
(REFRIGERATORS, WASHERS, DRYERS,
POOL ENCLOSURES, ETC.)
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.

sunlight resistant, DIRECT BURIAL CABLE (UL E253413) with LiteSounds®
FIXTURE CONNECTORS. FIXTURE CONNECTORS each have Max 9 Watts rating
and DIRECT BURIAL CABLE has Max 90 Watts rating.
• Simply place the BLACK CABLE in the groove of the BLACK CONNECTOR
and squeeze the CONNECTOR closed.
• When making the connection of the GREEN SPEAKER CABLE, ensure that
the WHITE STRIPE on the CABLE is properly aligned with the RIB located
on the GREEN CONNECTOR. This is required to ensure proper performance of
the LiteSounds®speaker system.
• Cut off any remaining CABLE maximum of 6” from the last FIXTURE or a
CONNECTOR.
• Ensure that the WHITE STRIPE on the AUDIO CABLE faces the ridge on the
side of the GREEN CONNECTOR used to connect your SPEAKER LIGHTS to
the GREEN AUDIO CABLE.
PLEASE NOTE: IF ALUMINUM STABS BENDS OR ARE BENT, STRAIGHTEN STABS
AND ENSURE A GOOD CONNECTION WITH THE WIRE OR THE LIGHT AND THE
SPEAKER LIGHT WILL NOT WORK.
INSTALLING TRANSMITTER
Find a location for the TRANSMITTER (silver box with 6 inch antenna)
that produces the best sound quality. Test in a few different room
locations in your home, sometimes moving the TRANSMITTER close
to the RECEIVER produces better results.
• Ensure that your TRANSMITTER is plugged into a good working
electrical outlet or that your batteries are well charged if you are
running on the 4-AA batteries.
• Ensure that both the TRANSMITTER and the RECEIVER are set to
the same channel: A >A; B >B; or C >C.
SET-UP AND OPERATION
RECEIVER SET-UP AND OPERATION
• Make sure that TRANSMITTER and the outdoor RECEIVER are
set to the same channel A >A; B >B; or C >C.
• FINE TUNE your RECEIVER with the FINE TUNE KNOB to get the best
reception. These are slow small adjustments - FINE TUNE.
Use the volume control to increase volume and listen for clarity. It should
be noted that external factors may cause minor drifting of the FM signal and
require slight adjustment (fine tuning). The FINE TUNING KNOB on the front of the
RECEIVER should be used for this purpose. If distortion is heard, slightly adjust the
TRANSMITTER volume. This will also cause the sound level to increase or decrease
slightly. If you still have distortion, adjust the RECEIVER to compensate as necessary
using the FINE TUNE DIAL.
• Select channel A on the outdoor RECEIVER.
• Plug outdoor RECEIVER into electrical outlet(LED is ON).
• Press the up arrow key on the keypad of the outdoor RECEIVER until sound is
audible from LIGHTED SPEAKER FIXTURES.
• Use the FINE TUNE control on the outdoor RECEIVER for optimal reception.
• Turn lighting control of the outdoor RECEIVER to the ON position.

TIP 1.
Take advantage of the FM RECEIVER if there is a local radio station that you like
in the 106.9 MHZ - 107.7 MHZ. With your TRANSMITTER off, you can use your
FINE TUNE KNOB on your RECEIVER to tune in the local radio station you enjoy.
TIP 2.
You can plug your portable audio device directly into your RECEIVER
when you are outdoors. Use a 3.5mm male straight.
TIP 3.
You can run multiple LiteSounds®* RECEIVERS from one LiteSound®
TRANSMITTER. This will allow you to increase the coverage area of your outdoor
audio and your outdoor lighting. For example you could have 2 outdoor RECEIVERS
with up to 10 fixtures on each RECEIVER (4 SPEAKER LIGHTS and 6 LIGHT
FIXTURES) for a total of 20 FIXTURES outside. So if you placed 3 LiteSounds®
RECEIVER outdoors, you could have 30 FIXTURES, etc.
TIP 4.
You can have multiple audio sources in multiple locations. For Example, you can
place 1 LiteSounds®system in front of your home to greet guest. With the
TRANSMITTER on Channel A, use a unique AUDIO SOURCE (MP3-1 for Example).
Simultaneously, you can have a second LiteSounds® system playing out back of your
home using a second AUDIO SOURCE (MP3-2 for Example) playing different music.
This will require two LiteSounds® KITS (2 TRANSMITTERS, 2 RECEIVERS).
WHEN YOU HAVE CONCLUDED LISTENING TO YOUR LITESOUNDS SYSTEM,
PLEASE REMEMBER TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN ON YOUR RECEIVER.
TRANSMITTER SET- UP AND OPERATION
Tune the TRANSMITTER by selecting the optimum channel (see chart
below) and increasing the output volume on the side of the unit to
maximum output.
TABLE 1
• Plug in TRANSMITTER to power supply or install batteries(4AA).
• Connect TRANSMITTER to AUDIO SOURCE.
• When connecting the AUDIO SOURCE to the TRANSMITTER, use the
‘Headphone’ Jack on your device for input to the LiteSounds®TRANSMITTER
and position volume control at or near maximum.
• You can also use AUDIO output connectors.
• Place ANTENNA in upright position.
• Select channel “A” on TRANSMITTER (Make sure that TRANSMITTER and the
outdoor RECEIVER are set to the same channel A >A; B >B; or C >C).
• Turn TRANSMITTER power to ON (LED will be ON-The Red LED will glow
indicating operation).
• Adjust DIAL VOLUME CONTROL to at or near maximum level.
• Turn ON audio source and/or press play.
• Adjust VOLUME CONTROL DIAL on front of the TRANSMITTER to maximize
sound clarity/volume.
• Once you have FINE TUNED your RECEIVER, you can use the volume on the
front of the TRANSMITTER to improve the clarity and the volume of your
signal. Correct and optimum placement of TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER
equipment varies site-to-site due to numerous extraneous factors that
cannot be controlled.
PLEASE NOTE: THE TRANSMITTER FEATURES A VOLUME CONTROL ON THE
FRONT PANEL. USE THIS CONTROL TO ADJUST THE INPUT VOLUME OF THE
AUDIO SOURCE IF DISTORTION IS AUDIBLE IN THE SPEAKERS.
PLEASE NOTE: WHEN USING THE TRANSMITTER WITH 9V DC POWER SUPPLY,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO TURN OFF THE TRANSMITTER.

TROUBLE SHOOTING CHECKLIST
NO SOUND
• Make sure the AUDIO SOURCE is playing, and volume is at or
near max.
• Check the connections on the rear of the AUDIO SOURCE.
• Make sure TRANSMITTER has POWER (RED LED IS ON).
• Check the connections on the back of the TRANSMITTER.
• Make sure TRANSMITTER volume control is at or near
maximum level.
• Make sure that TRANSMITTER and the outdoor RECEIVER are set to the same
channel A >A; B >B; or C >C.
• Make sure outdoor RECEIVER has POWER (RED LED IS ON).
• Check connections on rear terminal of outdoor RECEIVER.
• Make sure RECEIVER CABLES are connected properly.
• Ensure the volume control is turned up on the outdoor RECEIVER.
• Check connections of SPEAKER FIXTURES.
• Adjust the FINE-TUNE BUTTON ON THE RECEIVER. (These are slow small
adjustments - FINE TUNE).
• Adjust the VOLUME CONTROL of the TRANSMITTER.
• If you still don’t here desired audio signal, change the channels of both the
TRANSMITTER and outdoor RECEIVER. A to B to C. Repeat steps above to
achieve desired signal.
NO LIGHTS
• Make sure the lighting control of the outdoor RECEIVER is in the ON position.
• Cover the PHOTOCELL during daylight hours to confirm operation.
• Check connections of LIGHTING FIXTURES.
• Check FIXTURE to ensure BULB is properly installed.
IMPROVING RECEPTION
Identify the frequency on the FM radio band in the area that has the least
signal (maximum distortion) between 106.9 MHZ to 107.7 MHZ. Select the
Channel from TABLE 1 that is as far away from other radio stations as
possible within the frequencies listed. Tune the TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER by
selecting the optimum channel (see chart below) and increasing the output
volume on the side of the TRANSMITTER unit to maximum output.
• FINE TUNE your RECEIVER with the FINE TUNE KNOB to get the best reception.
These are slow small adjustments - FINE TUNE.
TABLE 1
RELOCATE THE TRANSMITTER
If necessary, relocate the TRANSMITTER to different and adjacent area in the
environment and note the location with the clearest sound quality. It may be helpful
to insert the batteries in the TRANSMITTER to aid in mobility of the unit during this
test. Be sure that the output volume on the side of the unit is set to maximum
output. Oftentimes, FM signals will ‘bounce’ off solid objects in the area so changes
will be noticeable with relatively small movements. Be prepared to try a different
area if it appears that small movements are not effective.
PLEASE NOTE: OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH BATTERIES CAN ONLY BE
ACHIEVED IF THE BATTERIES ARE PROVIDING RATED VOLTAGE +/- 5%.
Optimum FM reception may require relocation of the RECEIVER,
TRANSMITTER or both, depending on many factors. Prior to making
any physical location changes, please test the system with a direct
connected sound source. The RECEIVER has a jack on the front panel
capable of accepting a 3.5mm male audio jack for the purpose of
connecting a sound device directly to the unit. Using a known sound
source (CD player, MP3 player, RADIO, etc.), connect the audio output of this device
directly to the RECEIVER (using a 3.5mm male straight cable) to determine sound
quality. If distortion occurs, check all SPEAKER and electrical connections for
proper polarity (+, -). Remember, the GREEN CONNECTORS have a
RIB on it that must be aligned with the white stripe of the GREEN
BURIAL WIRE to insure proper SPEAKER polarity.
RE-POSITION OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVER
In some cases, it may be necessary to re-position the RECEIVER to an area better
suited to accept the signal from the TRANSMITTER source. Identify obstructions and
sources of interference from power lines, machines, large motors, electrical
transformers and other devices that are known to affect reception. Some of this
equipment typically cycles on and off as needed. Their interference would most often
occur when operating. Also, keep in mind that the power cord of the RECEIVER acts
as the ANTENNA (this is typical on devices of this nature) and will improve reception
when stretched out vertically and/or as its orientation is adjusted. It should be noted
that external factors may cause minor drifting of the FM signal and require slight
adjustment (fine tuning). The fine tuning knob on the front of the RECEIVER should be
used for this purpose.
CHANGING LIGHT BULBS
• LiteSounds®FIXTURES use a 9-watt long life bulb in
conjunction with a high-illumination lens. This
combination provides the equivalent lighting output
of a higher wattage bulb with the energy savings of the
9-watt lamp.
• To prevent electrical shock, disconnect RECEIVER from
electrical supply before service.
• Loosen the THREE SCREWS from the bottom of the
FIXTURE.
• Remove bottom FLANGE to expose the BULB.
• DO NOT touch BULB with bare hands. Always use a
soft cloth to handle the BULB.
• Replace BULB with correct wattage and type as
marked on FIXTURE label.
• Replace FLANGE and hand tighten SCREWS.
LITESOUNDS®FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Q How many FIXTURES can I add to my system?
A. You can operate a total of 10 FIXTURES using 9w BULBS. Of these
10 FIXTURES, 4 of them may be SPEAKER LIGHTS.
Q. How do I turn off the volume when not in use?
A. Reduce volume on RECEIVER to minimum by the repeat pressing of the
down button or by using the REMOTE CONTROL (OPTIONAL).
Q. How do I improve reception?
A. Review section 7 or call 1-877-709-3846 or go to www.litesounds.com.
Q. How far can the TRANSMITTER be from the RECEIVER?
A. LiteSounds® recommends a max of 100ft.
Q. How far from the RECEIVER will the REMOTE CONTROL work?
A. LiteSounds® recommends a max of 65ft.
Q. What are the advantages of low voltage outdoor lighting?
A. The major advantage of low voltage lighting systems is economy, safety, security
and ease of installation. The low voltage lights use low wattage lamps, they are
very economical to operate. A typical six light set uses less electricity than a
single 100 watt bulb. The systems are easier to install than conventional
120-volt systems and are safer too. For instance, if you touch the bare wires
or cut a buried cable with a garden tool you will not get a shock.
Q. How close can I install low voltage lighting fixtures to my swimming pool?
A. For maximum safety, the lights and cable must be at least ten feet from the
edge of the pool.
Q. Can I submerge the lamps in my pool, fountain or pond?
A. While some low voltage lights are designed for this use, the LiteSounds®system
should not be used in water.

INSTALL GUIDE
Q. Why do low voltage lighting systems require a RECEIVER?
A. You must have a RECEIVER to reduce the 120 Volt home current to a safe
12 volts. Do not attempt to hook up a line of 12-volt lamps directly to an
ordinary home outlet without using a 12-volt RECEIVER.
Q. Should RECEIVERS be used to their full capacity?
A. Yes. As the load on the system decreases, the output voltage of the
RECEIVER increases. This will cause the lighting units to run brighter, but
will also reduce their longevity. Ideally, you should configure your system so
the RECEIVER is working at rated capacity.
Q. Can the power packs be installed indoors?
A. The LiteSounds®low voltage power supply and wireless RECEIVER are designed
and approved for outdoor operation only.
Q. What do I do with the bare wire at the end of the CABLE?
A. If CABLE is left over once you’ve installed all of your lights, you can cut it off
6-inches from the last FIXTURE. The contents of this manual cover various
connection options and detailed operating procedures for making LiteSounds®
a valued part of your lifestyle. If, after having reviewed the instructions, you have
any questions, please contact our Customer Service Department at
1-877-709-3846.
Q. How can I prevent my plug from getting wet when it rains?
A. What you need is a “Protect-A-Plug” outlet cover. The outlet cover consists of a
backing plate that mounts on the existing outlet or electrical box, two inserts for
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and duplex receptacle, a gasket and a
clear plastic cover. After plugging in the power cord for your landscape lighting
system, simply close the outlet cover to keep moisture form penetrating the
electrical connection between the outlet cover and gasket completely enclose
the gasket and receptacle.
