LOCALSYSTEMPOWER
ZAM40

Systemline AirWay Multizone is designed to be installed into your home so that you can
enjoy music from your mobile device wirelessly in any room of your choice. Each zone
amplier also has a local audio input allowing you to easily plug in the sound from a TV.
The following instructions assume that you are competent in general DIY skills. You will
need to locate and mount the central hub and power supply, and connect speakers and
Cat5 cable to the ampliers. If you are not condent in doing this then you should seek
professional assistance.
We strongly recommend that you connect the system together before installing it to
ensure that you are comfortable it will all work well in your home.
