Introduction

The TMS-MA Telecor Media Source Model A is an all-in-one audio source device that accommodates multiple different kinds of audio sources into one single device. The front side provides an AUX IN port, a USB slot, and a SD/MMC memory card slot. This makes it possible to play MP3 files from USB drives and SD/MMC memory cards. The TMS-MA is also capable of receiving FM radio and connecting to Bluetooth audio devices. The rear side of the device provides a stereo output and a jack for an FM antenna (provided by customer) for improved FM reception. The TMS-MA is designed to be installed in a 19” equipment rack. If the TMS-MA is purchased with an equipment rack, all required cables and mounting hardware for the TMS-MA will be pre-installed in the rack.  Once you have unpacked and inspected your TMS-MA, your next step is to install the unit in a standard 19” equipment rack and then connect the power, audio cable harness, and optional (provided by customer) antenna.

The following equipment is included with your TMS-MA:

  • Telecor Media Source Model A (TMS-MA)
  • Cable harness for connecting TMS-MA to T2/XL (CHAP-TMS-MA)1
  • 2A DC 5V Power Adapter

When you receive your TMS-MA you should unpack it carefully to verify that you have received all the parts. If you are missing any parts notify Telecor immediately. Also inspect for any damage which could have occurred during shipping. If you discover any damaged items, contact the shipping company immediately.
