Check the indicators and settings
Before you use the audio link, you may want to check some of the indicators and settings
that make your expansion products work together smoothly.
The Status LED
On the connection panel of both the transmitter and the receiver, the Status LED indicates
how the two units are communicating, as shown in the table below.

On the receiver, a blinking or solid orange light indicates a communications problem. Reposi-
tioning the transmitter, receiver, or both, may resolve the problem and cause both LEDs to
change to solid green. For further information, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 11.
The transmitter Channel button
You can use the Channel button to narrow the selection of frequencies the transmitter uses.
The transmitter is factory-set to avoid WiFi Channel 11. This helps prevent performance
problems, such as slow or intermittent data transmissions, on a wireless network. If you have
a wireless network set up on another channel, you can set up your transmitter to avoid that
channel, or you can move the WiFi network to Channel 11.
