communicate with each other right out of the box. So if this is your first Rocketboost enabled

product you can skip this step and go to the next section,

step.

If you need to rejoin the sender and receiver, and this is your only Rocketboost enabled product,

then use the following steps.

Set the

HUB STATUS

switch on the wireless sender to

ENABLE

if this is your first Rocketboost

product set.

ENABLE

.

•

The power indicator turns blue when the

HUB STATUS

switch is set to

DISABLE

.

2

Press and hold

on the wireless sender for more than three seconds to put it into joining

mode. The power indicator starts blinking rapidly and the unit will stay in joining mode for 30

seconds.

3

Press and hold the

on the wireless receiver for more than three seconds so the sender and

receiver enter joining mode.

•

The power indicator lights steadily if the joining was successful.

•

The power indicator blinks slowly if the joining was not successful.

If you already have other Rocketboost devices you need to join both the sender and the receiver to

your existing hub device. See the

User Guide

for detailed instructions on how to do this.

Using you wireless sender and receiver

1

Turn on the wireless sender and wireless receiver. The power indicator LEDs should light

steadily. If they are blinking you need to rejoin the sender and receiver. See the

2

Turn on the audio source connected to the wireless sender. Make sure the volume of the audio

source is not muted, otherwise no audio will be sent over the Rocketboost network.

3

Press the

SOURCE A

or

B

button on the wireless sender to turn on the source from the A or B

inputs, depending on which input you want to listen to. The LED around the source button

turns on to show that the source is enabled.

4

Adjust the audio level on the wireless receiver. If you have multiple audio sources in your

Rocketboost network, press the

SOURCE

button on the wireless receiver to hear the next audio

source. Press the

SOURCE

button again to cycle through all available audio sources.

Rocketboost network notes:

Every Rocketboost network must contain

one hub device, which helps devices join

the network. The network can have only

one hub, which you can enable using the

hub switch on the back of all Rocketboost

senders and sender/receivers. If this is your

first Rocketboost product, you should

make this device the hub, if you already

have Rocketboost products, you should

disable hub mode on this device.

Important

: Hub devices must always have

power for your network to operate. The

hub device can be in standby (power-

saving) mode, but must stay plugged in.

Connecting the wireless sender

Note

:

The sender supports two audio sources, which are labelled A and B. For each audio source

you can use either the Speaker-In or Pre-in (line level) connectors, depending on your need. For

example, when using the sender with a home theater system amplifier, it is convenient to use the

Speaker-In connectors. When using the sender with a TV or MP3 player, use the Pre-In connectors.

Connecting to the Speaker-In connectors (such as

home theater surround sound) or Pre-In connectors

Note

:

The diagram and following step are for home theater

wireless surround sound. If you want to listen to your home

theater main channels in another room, connect the left

and right channels of the home theater system instead of

the surround channels.

1

Connect the right surround speaker terminals of your

home theater system to the right speaker terminals of

the sender by connecting the red speaker wire to the

red (+)

terminals, and the black speaker wire to the

black (-)

terminals. Repeat to connect the left surround

speaker terminals.

2

If you are connecting to the Pre-in connectors,

connect external audio source(s) to the

Pre-in A

and/or

B

jacks on the rear of the sender using

the 3.5 mm stereo cable. If necessary, you can

also use the 3.5 mm to RCA adapter, if your audio

device uses RCA type line out connectors.

Connect the AC power adapter to the sender

and plug into an AC power outlet.

Connecting the wireless receiver

Note

:

You can use the receiver for wireless surround sound or to listen to your music in another
