Introduction

AR’s Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker eliminates the hardest part of

adding speakers to almost any location in your home – running and

hiding hundreds of feet of speaker wire. As a water-resistant speaker,

the AW811 will withstand the effects of exposure to light moisture

(drizzle rain, dew from grass, etc.). Like FM radio, the AR Wireless

Speaker System’s 900MHz signal travels with ease through walls, floors,

ceilings and other obstacles, delivering high-quality sound virtually

anywhere inside the house or out. With drift- and static-free reception

along with outstanding range – up to 300 feet* – the possibilities for

enjoying your AR Wireless Speaker System are nearly unlimited.

The AR Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker is compatible with most audio

sources, such as TVs, DVD players, VCRs, A/V receivers/amps, stereos,

computers, and portable devices (CD players, cassette players, MP3s,

etc.).

This manual covers various connection options and detailed operating

instructions for making the AR Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker a

valued part of your lifestyle. If, after having reviewed the instructions,

you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service

Department at 1-800-732-6866.

Important:

If you are using NiMH or NiCd batteries, the batteries will charge when the

headphones are powered with the AC power adapter. Do not power the head-

phones with the AC power adapter if you installed alkaline or other non-re-

chargeable batteries—this could cause the batteries to leak. Do not mix batter-

ies with different chemistry types (for example, a zinc battery with an alkaline

battery). Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not leave batteries installed in

the product when not in use for long periods.

III. Powering the Speaker

There are two options to power your wireless speaker:

i. AC Power Adapter:

Warning: This product is designed to work with line level outputs or

headphone outputs only. DO NOT connect it directly to speaker outputs as it

will permanently damage the transmitter.

1. Turn the speaker volume down by

rotating the power/volume/scan

control (B) on the side of the

speaker all the way to the left.

2. Insert the small, round plug from the

speaker AC power adapter (M) into

the speaker power input jack (C).

3. Plug the other end of the speaker

AC power adapter into any

standard 120V AC wall outlet.

Note: Be sure to use the speaker

III. Adjusting the Transmitter

1. Turn ON your audio source (i.e., A/V receiver, TV, stereo, etc.) and play

music at a normal listening volume.

2. Set the channel select switch (K) on the back of the transmitter to 1, 2 or 3.

The transmitter provides three different broadcasting frequencies. In the

event that you experience poor reception or interference, try choosing a

different frequency by moving the channel select switch to another position.

IV. Tuning the Speaker

1. Press the Power/tuning/volume (B) up to turn the speaker ON. The

power/tuning indicator light (A) will illuminate red until the speaker is tuned

to the transmitter and then the light will illuminate green, indicating that

the speaker is tuned properly. You should hear sound coming from the

speaker now.

Note: If the speaker is not tuned or if the transmitter is not connected

properly, the power/tuning indicator light will continue to illuminate red. If

this occurs, please see the troubleshooting section of this manual.

2. Adjust the volume on the speaker as desired.

3. Mono/stereo operation set up:

a) Monaural operation: The monaural mode (MONO) is recommended

when using a single speaker or if using more than one speaker in different

locations.

For monaural operation, set the left/mono/right switch (D) to “MONO” on

each speaker.

b) Stereo operation: You will need an additional AW811 speaker in order to

utilize the stereo option.

For stereo operation, set the left/mono/right switch (D) to “L” on the

speaker located to the left from the listener, and set the other speaker to the

“R” position.

Note: Interference in the form of static and/or distortion can

sometimes be heard. If this occurs, confirm the transmitter/speaker

adjustments and indicators. If the problem persists, refer to the

Troubleshooting section of this manual.

V. Turning the Speaker Off

1. Press and hold the Power/tuning/volume (B) up to turn the speaker OFF.

You will need to hold the control for about 1.5 seconds for the speaker

to turn off.

2. Confirm that the speaker is off by verifying that the power/tuning indicator

light (A) is no longer illuminated.

VI. Recharging the Batteries

The speaker will automatically charge the rechargeable batteries (NiMH or NiCd)

only when the batteries are installed and the speaker is plugged in with the AC

power adapter.

Warning: DO NOT attempt to charge any other batteries except those

specified above.

VII. More Helpful Information

i. About Fixed-Level Audio Outputs:

A fixed-level, or line-level audio output is considered ideal since it provides an

audio signal unchanged by adjustments to the audio source volume control.

Hint: Fixed-level audio outputs from stereo receivers/amps will typically be

designated as Tape, Tape 1, and Tape 2 outputs, or VCR audio output

connections These outputs are frequently marked on A/V equipment as

‘TAPE OUTPUT,’ ‘TAPE OUT,’ ‘TAPE REC, or ‘TAPE RECORD or REC OUT.’

Please note: Jacks labeled PHONO, CD, LD, DVD or tape or VCR playback

(PB) are INPUTS and will not work with the transmitter.

Fixed-level outputs from TVs are usually marked as ‘Constant,’ ‘Fixed,’ or

‘Select.’ If they are not marked as such, they are probably variable outputs (see

“About Variable-Level Audio Outputs” on the next page). Outputs from VCRs

are almost always fixed.

Hint: When connecting to the audio outputs of a VCR, remember that the

VCR must be playing a tape or showing a TV channel for sound to be

produced.

Hint: If your VCR (or other audio source with RCA jacks) only has a single

audio output, you will need another RCA “Y” cable. It differs from the “Y”

Cable Adapter included with this speaker. It will have a single male RCA

plug and 2 female RCA jacks. Connect the dual RCA plugs from the

included “Y” cable adapter to the 2 female RCA jacks on the second “Y”

cable, and then connect the single male RCA plug of the second “Y” cable

to the single audio output of the VCR.

ii. About Variable-Level Audio Outputs:

A variable-level output, such as a headphone jack or certain RCA-type outputs,

provides an audio signal that changes with the volume level set on the audio

source. As the volume of the audio source is adjusted up and down, so is

the audio signal strength sent to the transmitter. This can affect the quality

of sound generated by the speaker, and may require an adjustment of the

volume level of the audio source to produce a signal strong enough for the

transmitter.

Hint: On most bookshelf-type or compact stereo systems, inserting a

headphone plug into the headphone jack results in automatic cutoff of the

regular, or hard-wired speakers.

Hint: Most TVs, regardless of age or price, have variable outputs. If you

are unsure which of your TV audio outputs is fixed, refer to the TV

instruction manual. Some TVs have outputs that can switch between

variable and fixed. When given a choice, fixed is always recommended.

Cause and solution:

• When using battery power, make sure the batteries are fresh and replace if

necessary.

• Check that the speaker power/tuning indicator light (A) is illuminated

green.

• Change the position of the channel select switch (1, 2 or 3) to change the

operating frequency. The speaker will detect the loss of signal and retune

automatically. However, you can also press the Power/tuning/volume

up once to make the speaker retune.

• Change the location of the transmitter. Place it as high and away from

obstructions as possible. Avoid placing the transmitter directly on top of or

behind a TV.

• Move the transmitter and speaker closer together. Sending the signal

through certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal, can decrease the

effective transmitting distance of the system.

transmitter power input jack.

• Confirm that the speaker is turned ON and tuned to the transmitter – the

power/tuning indicator light (A) on the front of the speaker should

illuminate green.

• Confirm that the speaker AC power adapter is fully inserted into the wall

outlet and the power cord on the AC power adapter is firmly connected to

the speaker power input jack.

• Check that the C-cell batteries are fresh and inserted with correct polarity

(+, –).

• Check that the audio source component (stereo, TV, etc.) is turned on and

transmitting sound as it normally should.

• Check that the speaker volume is turned up.

• If you are using a Tape 2 Monitor output from your receiver/amp as the

audio output, check that you have pressed the Tape Monitor/Tape 2

button on the front of the receiver. This will turn on the Tape 2 outputs,

which may not have been active.
