Installation
Placing Center and Station
IMPORTANT!
–Install your Center and Station near
the AC outlet and where the AC power
plug can be reached easily.
Ta ke the following steps to optimize the
Wi-Fi connection between Center and
Station:
–Keep your Center and Station away from the
source of interference (wireless routers,
microwave ovens, DECT phones, bluetooth
devices, cordless phones, other Wi-Fi products,
etc.)
–Avoid placing your Center or Station close to
the plasma TV. It may result in improper display
on your Center’s 2-way remote control.
–Keep Stations adequately apart or in different
angles (e.g. in different rooms blocked by one
wall). Within a distance and angle (e.g. in the
same room), your Center’s remote control is
powerful enough to simultaneously operate
several Stations, which may also result in
improper display on the 2-way remote control.
Mounting stand onto Station
WAS5 Station is equipped with a stand. To
mount the stand onto your Station,
1Align the supplied stand to the slot at Station’s
bottom
2Insert the stand into the slot firmly
Helpful hints:
– Once inserted, the stand is undetachable.
