interference may cause some sound interruption.
●The maximum transmission distance of the wireless signal between the main unit and subwoofer is about
32.8 ft, but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is
between the main unit and the wireless subwoofer, the system may not operate at all, because the wireless
signal cannot penetrate metal.
●If the main unit doesn't make a wireless connection, follow steps 1-5 on the previous page to re-set the
connection between the main unit and wireless subwoofer.
●The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit away from water and
moisture.
