This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your
equipment. Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by RadioShack may
cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

How does the system send audio without wires?

The sender converts the audio signal to a 4.3 – 20.9MHz carrier frequency,
then sends it through your home power line to a receiver that converts it
back to its original form, and then sends it to the amplifi er and speakers.

Why won’t my system work?

• Make sure each AC power cord connects to the system device and wall

outlet securely.

• Make sure the devices are plugged directly into a wall outlet. Do not use

a power strip or any other adapter.

Why don’t I hear any sound from the system?

• Be sure your sender and receivers are turned on.
• Be sure all wires are connected securely.
• Be sure the audio source is turned on.
• Adjust the receiver’s volume control.
• Be sure the amplifi ed speaker system is placed within the sender’s 300-

foot transmission range.

• Check power connector and fuse if speaker power indicator is not light,

How can I correct for distorted sound?

Reduce the audio source’s volume. Make sure your sender’s Audio Input
Level is set to High.

How can I correct for popping noises or drop outs in the sound?

• Relocate your sender. Your amplifi ed speaker system must be within 300

feet of the sender.

• Try another outlet. Some outlets may have excessive noise from

switching devices that your Home Plug can’t overcome.

• While using Home Plug, turn off compact fl uorescent lights, halogen

lights and other devices that may cause interference.

How can I increase my output volume?

To boost your volume, set the sender’s Audio Input Level to Low.

How many speakers / receivers can I connect?

Although you can only connect one transmitter, under some conditions you
may be able to connect up to 4 or more receivers and speakers.

Can I use this system with other HomePlug or Plug ‘n Power products?

Your HomePlug audio system is compatible with other HomePlug products.
While there are bandwidth limitations, you should not experience problems,
unless you have more than 16 HomePlug devices on the powerline or
you have noisy electronics on the power line. Plug ‘n Power operates in

different bands than HomePlug and shouldn’t create interference.

1. To remove the fuseholder on the speaker or receiver/amplifi er, use

a small screwdriver to unclip the fuseholder compartment, and
then slide it out.

2. Replace the fuse with a fuse of the same size and capacity.

3. Push the fuseholder compartment back in until it snaps into place
