The main room is the room in which you have placed the audio and/or video system – complete with their various sources (the main system). Connected to the main system, you will need a BeoLink Wireless 1 set up as transmitter. The link room is where you have set up another BeoLink Wireless 1 as receiver. To complete the link room setup, you will need a pair of active speakers, and an ‘IR-eye’. The ‘IR-eye’ is necessary in order to be able to operate the system – either by close-up operation, or with a Bang & Olufsen remote control. For information about installation of the BeoLink Wireless 1 units and the ‘IR-eye’, refer to ‘Set up BeoLink Wireless 1’ (pp. 7–13) in this Guide. For information about how to set up the main room system and the link room speakers, refer to the Guides enclosed with the products. 3Main room Link room

Set up BeoLink Wireless 1 On the next pages is explained how to install a set of BeoLink Wireless 1 – both in the main room and in a link room. We recommend that you follow this procedure: – Set up connection between the Wireless 1 units as explained on p. 8. – Make the cable connections as explained on pp. 9 and 11. – Check the wireless connection between the main room and link room setups. – If necessary, fasten the units to the wall as explained on pp. 10 and 12. – Set the link room setup to the correct Option as explained on p. 13. – Make sure that Wireless 1 is set up in accordance with the instructions in this Guide. To prevent injury, use Bang & Olufsen approved wall brackets only! – Wireless 1 can only be switched off completely by disconnecting it from the wall socket. – Do not attempt to open Wireless 1. Leave such operations to qualified service personnel! – Wireless 1 is designed for indoor use in dry, domestic environments only, and for use within a temperature range of 10–40º C (50–105º F). – Leave enough space around Wireless 1 for adequate ventilation. – Do not place any items on Wireless 1. – Do not place the ‘IR-eye’ in direct sunlight or direct artificial light (a spotlight, for example), or near objects generating electrical noise (such as light dimmers), as this may reduce the sensitivity of the remote control receiver. – Depending on the placement and surroundings, Wireless 1 has an indoor range of approximately 30 m (100'). – One transmitter can serve up to seven receivers, and you can only install three transmitters in a setup. – The transmitters must be placed at least 1 m (3') apart. – You will need at least one BeoLink Wireless 1 set up as a transmitter connected to the main system, and one BeoLink Wireless 1 set up as receiver in each link room. Furthermore, you will need an ‘IR-eye’ and a loud-speaker setup in each link room. Before you start … 7
Wireless 1 – Transmitter/receiver … Wireless 1 must be set up as either transmitter or receiver. Before fastening the transmitter and receiver to the wall, you must establish connection between them. This must be done while the units are located in the same room. The connection procedure described here must be performed for each receiver in a setup – one at a time. If more than one transmitter is necessary, connection must be established between each trans-mitter and each receiver – one by one. Only one transmitter at a time must be switched on, while you set up connection to the receivers. To set up connection between a transmitter and a receiver … > Set the two-position switch to transmit or receive (T or R), respectively. > Connect the transmitter and the receiver to the mains supply. > Press the connection button on the transmitter and the receiver to start a one-minute connection mode. > When the indicator shines green or yellow, connection between the transmitter and the receiver is established. Approximately 20 seconds after connection has been established, the receiver switches to standby (indicator shines red). > When the receiver switches to standby, disconnect the units from the mains supply, and move them to their future positions. If you have more receivers, repeat the above procedure for each receiver. To reset Wireless 1 to factory setting (no connection), press and hold the connection button until the yellow indicator starts to flash fast. On page 10 is shown how to get access to the buttons and sockets. >> Set up BeoLink Wireless 1 8Light indications Fast yellow flash … Wireless 1 is reset to factory setting. Slow red flash … Wireless 1 is in connection mode. Fast red flash … Connection failed/receiver out of range of the transmitter. Green … Connection between the transmitter and receiver is good. Yellow … Connection between the transmitter and receiver is acceptable, but not optimal. Red … Receiver switched to standby.
Cable connections In the main room: Connect the transmitter to the Master Link socket on the main system. Then connect both the main system and transmitter to the mains supply. In the link room: Connect the loudspeakers to the Power Link sockets on the receiver. Connect the ‘IR-eye’ to the socket marked IR (for information about the ‘IR-eye’ and its cable, see p. 11). Then connect both the loudspeakers and the receiver to the mains supply. Check the indicator light in the receiver to ensure that connection is still intact. If the connection is lost, the units must be moved. The receiver switches to standby after approximately 20 seconds. IMPORTANT: Use fully mounted Power Link cables only – not the very thin type! If a wrong type of Power Link cable is used, the link room speakers will not play. If in doubt, ask your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

>> Set up BeoLink Wireless 1 Wireless 1 – wall mount Wireless 1 can be fastened to a wall (or ceiling) with one of the two enclosed brackets – in either a horisontal or a vertical position. It can be placed on the bracket so that the cables may be run either to the left or to the right. However, if you place Wireless 1 vertically on a wall, the cables must be run downwards – otherwise the bracket will not hold Wireless 1 safely! Use two screws and wall anchors, each with a minimum load rating of 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs.). However, if you intend to hang Wireless 1 from a gypsum wall or ceiling, one screw must be a lag screw (4 mm – 0.15"), which penetrates the gypsum, and is screwed a minimum of 12 mm (0.5") into a vertical stud. The other screw must be of a type intended for gypsum panels. To get access to the connection button and sockets, you must first remove the cover. When you have connected the cables and checked that the wireless connection is still intact, run the cables through the groove and put on the cover again. When you have put on the cover, slide Wireless 1 onto the bracket as shown. 10
‘IR-eye’ – cable connections The small circular ‘IR-eye’ is available from a Bang & Olufsen retailer. An ‘IR-eye’ must be used in each link room setup. Use the cable supplied with the ‘IR-eye’ and connect it as explained here: > Cut the cable to the required length (from the receiver to the ‘IR-eye’) and strip it as shown. > Insert the cable end through the cable clamp (A) and connect the leads to the terminals inside the ‘IR-eye’ in the order indicated. Then tighten the clamp (A). > Attach the rear cover and fix the ‘IR-eye’ to the wall as explained on the next page – and then plug the cable into the socket marked IR on the receiver. Connect the leads in the cable to the terminals inside the receiver in this order: 1 = Yellow 2 = Grey 3 = Green 4 = White 5 = Brown Strip the cable end. Twist the cores in each lead and bend them back. 35 mm – 1.5"5 mm – 0.25"12345A11
‘IR-eye’ – wall mount If the ‘IR-eye’ is placed next to a door and at a suitable height, you can easily switch on or off by close-up operation when entering or leaving the room. Likewise, if it is placed near your telephone, you can switch off the speakers while you are on the phone. > Use the wall plate as a template to mark up the holes on the wall. Insert the screws and wall anchors, but let the two screw heads protrude from the wall as shown (C/D). > Place the wall plate onto the rear of the ‘IR-eye’, and fasten it with the three screws (B). > Insert the two protruding screw heads (D) into the corresponding ‘keyholes’, and turn the ‘IR-eye’ clockwise to fasten it. >> Set up BeoLink Wireless 1 B C DCCDDB BB12
Option settings When you have made all the connections as described on the previous pages, you may start to use the system. However, in order for your setup to function properly, you must set the link room setup to one of the following Options: Option 0: Used if you want to disable remote control operation in the link room. Option 4: Used if you install a link room setup in the same room as your main system (for example in a large L-shaped room with two separate listening positions).Option 5: Used if you set up a Bang & Olufsen television in the link room. Option 6: Used in a setup with the main system in one room, and the link room setup in another – as described in this guide (this is the factory setting). Use a Beo4 remote control to set the Option. The entire system must be switched to standby. > While holding down the • button, press LIST. > Let go of both buttons. > Press LIST repeatedly until OPTION? is shown in the Beo4 display, and press GO. > Press LIST repeatedly until L.OPT is shown in the Beo4 display, and then key in the appropriate number (0, 4, 5 or 6).
