For the S-AIR sub unit, power management, volume adjustment and coupling operations can be performed using this remote commander. After the coupling operation is established, the S-AIR sub unit and this remote commander are linked together.This unit is also compatible with “MULTI SOURCE” mode. That will allow you to select and to listen to multiple sources sent from the S-AIR main unit to the S-AIR sub units.PrecautionsNotes on use of the S-AIR product As the S-AIR product transmits data by radio waves, data may skip when radio waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves and is not a malfunction. As the S-AIR product transmits data by radio waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic energy, such as a microwave oven, may interfere with sound transmission. As the S-AIR product uses the radio waves that share the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices, interference or poor transmission may result. In this case, take the following step: Do not use S-AIR product and the other wireless systems at the same time. The transmission distance differs depending on the usage environment. Find a location where transmission between the unit and the S-AIR main unit is most effective, and install the unit and the S-AIR main unit there.On safety Should any solid object or liquid get into the unit, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it again.On placement Do not place the unit in an inclined position or in locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, humid or lacking adequate ventilation, subject to vibration, direct sunlight or bright light.
