WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not
expose the TV to rain or moisture.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
This equipment must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
The available scientific evidence does not show that any
health problems are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these
low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low
power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while
being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some studies have
suggested that some biological effects might occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. The LF-X11 has been tested and found to
comply with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the LF-
X11 has been show to be 2.4GHz 1.42 W/kg,5.2GHz 0.45
W/kg at Body.
* This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
* When using the unit with 802.11a (5.15-5.25GHz), use
indoors.
LF-X11
Contains FCC ID : AK8IRF303
Contains IC : 409B-IRF303

Since communication via the wireless LAN
function is established by radio waves, the
wireless signal may be susceptible to
interception. To decrease this danger, the
LocationFree TV supports various security
functions. Be sure to correctly configure the
security settings in accordance with your
intended purpose and network environment.
Wireless LAN security function of the
LocationFree TV
• No encryption
Because raw data is transmitted, there is a
danger of interception.
This setting is not available for wireless LAN
communication between the Base Station and
the Monitor.
•WEP
WEP is the wireless LAN security technology
specified by IEEE802.11. It applies encryption
to communications. There are two types of
encryption key length; 64-bit key and 128-bit
key. The 128-bit encryption key assures a
higher security level. A decryption technique
exists, however, so using the same encryption
key for an extended period of time is not
recommended.
• WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption
WPA is a security technology developed to
correct for the deficiencies of WEP. The
LocationFree TV utilizes WPA together with
TKIP encryption. WPA-PSK with TKIP
encryption assures the highest security level
among the technologies supported by the
LocationFree TV.
Security settings of the LocationFree TV
• The security for wireless LAN communication
between the Base Station and the Monitor is set
to WEP as the factory default. To increase the
security level, switch to WPA-PSK. Note,
however, that the communication stability may
differ depending on which technology you use,
WEP or WPA-PSK.
• When connecting the Monitor to a wireless
LAN environment other than that for
communication with the Base Station, the
Monitor should be configured in accordance
with the security setting of the wireless LAN
environment. For settings information, contact
the network administrator.

The LocationFree TV is an advanced, portable TV that allows you to watch TV or video, browse the
Web, check your e-mail and manage your digital photos whether you are at home or not. When you are
at home, you can carry the Monitor around the house and use it anywhere within its wireless
transmission range. When you are away from home, you can watch the same TV programs and videos
by accessing your Base Station via the Internet.
By installing LocationFree Player on your computer, and registering the computer with the Base Station,
you can use the LocationFree NetAV function on your computer as well.
Enjoy the LocationFree TV, no matter where you are. Welcome to the world of LocationFree TV!
z Tips
• The LocationFree TV is composed of a Monitor and
a Base Station that communicate with each other
over a wireless or wired connection.
• The Monitor operates on a rechargeable battery, so it
does not need a power cord. You can also connect an
AC power adapter.
• When the power is turned on, the Base Station
continuously emits a wireless signal.
Note
The LocationFree TV transmits on the 2.4 GHz and 5
GHz* wireless channels. In the average home, this
gives it a coverage range of about 100 feet (30 meters).
If other devices in the vicinity emit electrical waves,
such as a wireless LAN device or microwave oven, the
strength of the wireless signal may decrease. The
materials used in the construction of a building’s walls
and floors may also affect the signal strength.
* At the time of purchase, the LocationFree TV is set
up to select the best channel automatically, either 2.4
GHz or 5 GHz.

Station should be installed so that you can
easily see its side.
• The Base Station should be installed at least 10
cm from the wall.
The procedure for connecting to a TV antenna
differs depending on the type of antenna jack.
Some antenna jacks require a separate converter
or splitter (not supplied). For more information,
contact your Sony dealer.

Attach the supplied IR Blaster to the device
connected to the Base Station.
By attaching the IR Blaster, you can control the
connected device with the on-screen remote
control.
To locate the infrared receiver, refer to the
operating instructions for the connected device.
Be sure to place the IR Blaster above the infrared
receiver.
Note
Do not remove the backing paper from the IR Blaster
yet.
After confirming that the remote control works
correctly, remove the backing paper from the rear
side of the IR Blaster and then secure the IR
Blaster in place.
When controlling two devices with the IR
Blaster, position the devices and the IR Blaster as
shown.
Note
For details on setting up a device, refer to the operating
instructions of the device.
If the infrared receivers on two devices do not line
up and cannot be controlled with the single
supplied IR Blaster, you need to purchase a plug
adapter (not supplied) and another IR Blaster.
Connect the plug adapter to the IR BLASTER
port on the Base Station and connect each IR
Blaster to a port on the adapter plug.
See “Configuring the On-Screen Remote”
(1page 67) for information about how to switch
the on-screen remote for two devices to a single
input terminal.
z Tips
• If the IR Blaster cable is too short, use the extension
cable (RK-G138, not supplied).
• Infrared receivers on Sony VCRs and other products
are identified with the symbol.
• You can set up 2 on-screen remote controls for each
video input connector. These on-screen remote
controls allow you to operate 2 devices connected
directly to the Base Station, and to control video
input via those devices.
