Setup and User Instructions:
1.Place the EchoLink (IR)TM transmitter (see Fig 1) on top of or
next to your TV or fix to the side of the TV with the Velcro pad.
(To do this, remove the stand by firmly pulling the transmitter
and stand apart). Place one piece of the Velcro on the bottom
of the transmitter and with the second piece fix to the side of the
TV, making sure the transmitter is facing where you are sitting
and that there is a clear line of sight between the transmitter and
receiver, with no obstruction.
2.Plug the 12VDC power adapter into an electrical power socket
then plug the power lead into the transmitter DC socket (see Fig 2).
3.If your TV has audio output sockets connect the Phono/Phono
lead to these sockets and plug the 3.5mm jack plug end of the
lead into the EchoLink (IR) TM Audio input socket (see Fig 3).
4.If your TV has no audio output sockets but has a spare SCART
socket, plug the scart into the TV and connect the Phono/Phono
lead. Then connect the 3.5mm jack plug end into the Audio Input
socket of the transmitter (see Fig 4).
