USER’S GUIDE
SKAA OS v2.4
Each SKAA® receiver has a Green List which remembers your favorite transmitters. A Green
indicator on the receiver means you are listening to a favorite, or hunting for one. Your receiver
can also explore to find new transmitters. An Amber indicator means you are exploring—looking
for transmitters which are not on your Green List. A Cluster is a product with two or more
pieces which behave as one, such as a left and right speaker pair. The Bond Button lets you
select which transmitter you’re listening to. The Bond Button has the or logo.

Make a Cluster of receivers:
1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off
2. Power on the Master receiver while holding
down its Bond Button—hold the button
down until the Red LED begins to flash
3. With the remaining receivers within 3
meters of the Master receiver, power on
the first one, wait for its Red LED to flash
and then power on the second one.
Continue until all of them are powered on.
4. Once all of the LEDs stop flashing (turn
solid Red), power off all of the receivers
(flash) = Master receiver

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question Answer
How does the Green
List work?
Every time you add a transmitter, it is automatically assigned the first open spot on the
Green List—so if you already have two transmitters on your Green List, the next one you
add will go in Green List spot #3. The receiver can hunt through the Green List much like
a car radio hunts for radio stations when you press “seek”. If you see the Green LED
flash, the receiver is automatically moving through your Green List, checking for each
favorite transmitter as it goes. For example if you have 3 transmitters on your Green List,
your receiver will hunt for them in order 1, 2 then 3, then back to 1 and so on (the Green
LED will flash every time it advances from one to the next). The receiver looks for each
transmitter for about 3 seconds and then moves on to the next one if it doesn’t find it. If
it does find it, it stops there, bonds with it and starts playing its audio. If you don’t see
the Green list flash, the receiver is just sitting, waiting for one particular favorite
transmitter to show up. Click the SKAA button once to flip back and forth between these
two modes (hunting through your whole Green List, and sitting waiting for one particular
transmitter to show up). You can store up to 10 favorite transmitters on your Green List.
How do I choose a
specific transmitter?
If you have a dim Green LED (you aren’t hearing any audio), click the SKAA button once.
The Green LED will flash once every 3 seconds as the receiver moves through your Green
List, stopping at each spot and hunting for the associated transmitter. Once it finds one, it
will bond to it and play its audio. If that isn’t the transmitter you want, click the SKAA
button once more. Repeat until you find the transmitter you want.
How to I delete a
transmitter from my
Green List?
Let’s start by saying that the 6-click command (delete everything and start over) is very
handy. The author uses it. All the time. If however, you’d like to surgically remove just
one transmitter from your Green List, read on. First you must get your receiver to sit on
the proper spot on the Green List—the spot holding the transmitter you’d like to turf. The
easiest way to do this is to bond your receiver to the transmitter you want to delete (see
How do I choose a specific transmitter? above). Next, hold the SKAA button down for a
few seconds (until you see the Red LED flash to indicate the transmitter is gonzo).
What is the Master
receiver?
In any Cluster, there is a single Master receiver, and all of the other receivers in the
Cluster follow its behavior. The Master has a working Bond Button and you can control
the entire Cluster with that one button.
Can any receiver
become the Master
of a Cluster?
No. A receiver must have a physical Bond Button in order to be made the Master of a
Cluster. If a receiver has no Bond Button it can only operate as a subordinate part of a
Cluster—it cannot be the Master of that Cluster and it cannot operate independently.
How do I
“uncluster” several
receivers?
Do the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure once for each receiver, omitting step 3. This
will give each of the receivers a functioning Bond Button, and each of them will thereafter
operate independently.
What are some tips
for making
Clusters?
Each step in the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure has a 10 second time limit. For
example, when you see the Master’s LED start to flash, you have up to 10 seconds to
power on the next receiver. When that receiver’s LED starts flashing, you have 10 more
seconds to power on the next one, and so on.
Why does only one
of my Bond Buttons
work?
If you’ve made a Cluster from several receivers, the first one powered on in the Make a
Cluster of receivers procedure is the Master of the Cluster. Only the Master’s Bond Button
will be functional because a Cluster uses just one Bond Button (and one Green List).
Can any group of
receivers be made
into a Cluster?
No. The receivers must be members of the same product family. If they are not, the
Make a Cluster of receivers procedure won’t work. This is because only receivers that
were designed to work together (as a single product) can be made into a Cluster.
