    • is no longer working properly,
    • has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
    • has been subjected to any serious transport-related stress.

Power adapter

  • Do not modify or repair power supply components, including power plugs, power cords and power adapters. Never use damaged components. Danger of death from electric shock!
  • Connect the product to an easily accessible socket.
  • Only use the supplied mains adapter as a power supply.
  • Only connect the power adapter to a normal mains socket connected to the public supply. Before plugging in the power adapter, check whether the voltage stated on the power adapter complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
  • Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
  • Never disconnect the mains plug from the socket by pulling on the cable. Always pull it out of the mains socket using the intended grips.
  • For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during storms.
  • Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a fatal electric shock! Proceed as follows:
    • First, cut off the power supply to the corresponding mains socket (switch off the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, and then switch off the respective RCD safety switch so that all poles of the mains socket are disconnected).
    • Then carefully unplug the power adapter from the mains socket.
    • Use a new power adapter of the same design. Do not use the damaged power adapter again.
  • Ensure the power cord is not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
  • Always lay cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Installation location and range

If possible, you should perform a function test first. During the test, the transmitter should be only a few metres away from the receiver. Only when signal transmission works correctly should you place the devices at their final installation locations. This way, you can ensure that only the installation location causes the problems and not, for example, a low-quality HDMI cable.

  • Place the transmitter and receiver so they stand freely. Do not place them behind other devices (e.g. behind a TV set). Otherwise, the radio signal will not be transmitted, and radio communication will not be possible (or the range will be too short).
  • Never place the transmitter and receiver near other radio equipment (e.g. Internet router, repeater, etc.).
  • For an optimum range, there should be as few walls/furniture etc., between the transmitter and receiver as possible, as they can significantly reduce the range.
  • Assuming a direct line of sight and open field surroundings, the range of transmission of the radio signals between the transmitter and receiver is up to 150 metres. Obviously, this transmission range cannot be achieved indoors because of many factors affecting radio transmission. Try reorienting the antennas or choose a different installation location if necessary.
  • Reduce the distance between the devices, use for example a longer (and high-quality) HDMI cable.
  • Use suitable padding to protect the surfaces of valuable furniture against pressure marks, scratches and stains.

Getting Started

  • First switch off all the devices that you wish to connect with the transmitter and receiver modules.

Antennae

  • Screw the antennas to the rear of the receiver (RX) and transmitter (TX).
  • When using the device for the first time, the antennas should point vertically upwards (the orientation of the antennas may vary, see “Installation location and range”).

Splitter mode: 1 transmitter, 1 receiver

  • Set the switch on the receiver (RX) and transmitter (TX) to Splitter mode (SP).

Receiver (RX)

  • Connect a monitor to HDMI OUT.
  • Connect the power adapter (12V/1A).

Transmitter (TX)

  • Connect a source device (HDMI IN), such as a laptop, PC, DVD player, set-top box, etc.
  • Connect an optional monitor to HDMI OUT (loop-through function).
  • Connect the power adapter (12V/1A).

The LINK LED on the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) flashes once the connection has been established. The STA LED on the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) is lit continuously during signal transmission.

SPEAKA-SP-HWE-800-HDMI-Wireless-Transmission-fig-6

When the monitor is connected to the receiver, and there is no signal, ensure the transmitter and receiver are set to Splitter mode (SP). Disconnect the receiver and transmitter from the power adapter. Reconnect the transmitter and then the receiver to the power adapter.

Switch mode

  • In switch mode, transmission takes place via channel switching. In this way you can bind several transmitters or receivers with different channels, see illustration under 11.3.

1 transmitter to 1 receiver

  • Set the switch on the receiver (RX) and transmitter (TX) to Switch mode (SW).

Receiver (RX)

  • Connect a monitor to HDMI OUT.
  • Connect the power adapter (12V/1A).

Transmitter (TX)

  • Connect a source device (HDMI IN), such as a laptop, PC, DVD player, set-top box, etc.
  • Connect an optional monitor to HDMI OUT (loop-through function).
  • Connect the power adapter (12V/1A).

Multiple transmitters to 1 receiver

SPEAKA-SP-HWE-800-HDMI-Wireless-Transmission-fig-7

  • Choose a different channel for each transmitter.
  • You can toggle between the transmitters (sources) by switching the channels on the receiver (RX).

Up to 32 transmitters can be used.

Installing the remote control

There are two options for remote control of the units.

  • Control via the infrared remote function (repeater function).
  • Control via the keyboard and mouse (USB).

Infrared control (repeater function)

  • Connect the infrared receiver to the receiver (IR IN) and the infrared transmitter to the transmitter (IR OUT). Incoming infrared signals are relayed directly to the receiver.

Point the infrared transmitter towards the target device.

USB keyboard and mouse

SPEAKA-SP-HWE-800-HDMI-Wireless-Transmission-fig-9

  • Connect the keyboard and mouse to the “USB K/M” port on the receiver (RX).
  • Connect a PC to the “USB PC” port on the transmitter (TX). Use the supplied USB cable.

The keyboard and mouse commands are transmitted to the connected PC, allowing its remote operation.

Installing the audio transmission

HDMI to HDMI

SPEAKA-SP-HWE-800-HDMI-Wireless-Transmission-fig-10

  • Audio is transmitted from the transmitter (TX) to the receiver (RX) via HDMI. The receiver and transmitter are connected only via the HDMI cable.

AUX to HDMI

  • The audio signal is transmitted from the transmitter’s (TX) AUX IN port to the receiver’s (RX) HDMI OUT port. Use the supplied 3.5 mm audio cable for this purpose.

It is also possible to transmit audio without an image.

HDMI to HDMI/AUX

  • The audio signal is transmitted from the transmitter’s (TX) HDMI to the receiver’s (RX) AUX OUT port and the HDMI OUT port. Audio is output via the HDMI and AUX outputs on the receiver.

HDMI/AUX to HDMI/AUX

SPEAKA-SP-HWE-800-HDMI-Wireless-Transmission-fig-13

  • The audio signal is sent to the transmitter (TX) via the AUX IN port.
