3. Assembly
Basic assembly of this system is very easy to do.
Please connect all components only when they are switched off.
●Connect the SM from backside audio outputs to your audio system by the
supplied audio cable - or connect your headphone to the appropriate
outputs at the left side of the SM .
●Setup and connect your computer network, if required.
●Connect the SM to the SM power supply (DC connector).
●Before connections, check your mains power system to be appropriate to
the WAP-4500 power supply.
●Connect the power adaptor to mains supply.
●Switch on the main power switch at the right side of the SM .
●Insert the Batteries into the B C (refer item 4).
●Switch on the B C by short press the Power button (6).
●A “Pairing“ screen appears. Select your SM „WAP-4500“ and confirm by
OK button (7). by this, B C and SM are linked together (refer item 5).
●By another push on the Power button (6), the whole WAP-4500 system
(B C and SM ) is switched into standby.
Switching standby on/off as well as volume and all other control functions of your
WAP-4500 system can be done by the buttons of the B C. The LC display in the
B C does not only display the received commands but it can also receive contents
from SM such as music track playback data, cover pictures etc, all displayed in the
remote control right in your hand!
Since WAP-4500 can playback audio files from LAN, WLAN, Internet adio and
connected USB storages, there are various settings possible. Please read the
related chapters to setup your WAP-4500 correctly for best performance with all
sources.
Tip: please visit www.teac.de to check for new firmware for your WAP-4500. New
firmware contains latest corrections and often it adds essential new features into
your device!
-- We do recommend, always to update for the latest firmware! --
TEAC is always active to offer you the best possible features for your WAP4500!

4. BRC Battery installation
The B C is powered by two “Mignon“ AA batteries. A fresth set of batteries can
achieve several weeks of normal usage (base settings) thanks to the integrated
energy saving functions of the WAP-4500 B C.
We do recommend to utilize common Alkaline Batteries.
●The Battery compartment is placed at the back of the B C cabinet.
●The battery cover slider can be unlocked by slight pushing the cover at the
dotted area and shifting down for apprx. 5mm. After unlocking, the cover
can easily be removed.
●Please care to insert the batteries according to the markings in the battery
case and on the batteries itself. Wrong polarity might damage the B C.
●Then lay the battery cover back on the opening and slide-in until you
recognize it was locked again.
●The B C now is ready to use.
Note: It is possible to utilize rechargeable AA-type batteries (NiMH or NiCd).
However, rechargeable batteries have higher self-discharge and less cell tension,
causing shorter operation time. Therefore we do not recommend to use
rechargeable batteries.

5. Pairing the BRC and SMR
The data interchange between B C and SM of the WAP-4500 is realized by a
data radio transmission system. Benefits of the radio transmission are the definite
identification between the connected partners and the transmission by radio signals,
which do not require visible connection between transmitter and receiver. B C and
SM can both transmit and receive data. You may even control your WAP-4500
from a neighbour room, if you placed your speakers there.
After first power on, the B C shows a “pairing” screen. This screen appears when
there is no known connection between B C and SM or in case you call it to add
another new connection (refer item 7.1 Multiroom operation).
Place your B C close to your SM (< 1m). Select “Pair” to start the pairing
procedure. B C and SM communicate to find a suitable connection. The
procedure takes apprx one minute. In case the B C found more than one WAP
SM base station, select your WAP-4500 SM by the scrollbar and confirm your
selection by short pressing the right softbutton (4) or the OK button (7).
Now you will be back to the main menu which displays the name of the selected
SM device at the head of the menu list.
Note: In case you have more than one WAP device in your environment, the
wireless radio system ensures only the one paired SM is controlled by the paired
B C at a time!
