Operation Instructions

Acoustic RF receiver

Congratulations on purchasing your acoustic RF receiver. We hope it will provide you with many years of service. You have chosen a modern and reliable system. Please read through these operating inst-ruction carefully to be able to start the unit correctly and to familiarise yourself with all of the system’s features.

Standard components

Please check if all the following components are included:

• Acoustic RF receiver
• 9 V plug-in PSU
• Operating Instructions
• Warranty card
  If any parts are missing please immediately contact your dealer or the manufacturer directly.

Function

The acoustic RF receiver picks up signals from different lisa RF radio transmitters and converts them into audible alerts.
In addition, 6 event indicator LEDs help you to identify the various alerts.

Controls

Battery/Dead battery
If the battery status indicator lights up constantly, this means that the battery or rechargeable battery used is almost depleted. A regular battery must be replaced or a rechargeable battery recharged. The battery status indicator might flash briefly in the flashing mode; this does not indicate that the battery is low.

Event indicator LEDs
The 6 indicator lamps help you to differentiate between the individual transmitter signals. They light up for a total of 40 seconds.

Lisa-Channel selector
You can select the radio channel using the channel selector.

ON-/OFF switch
Set the on/off switch to »ON«. The acoustic RF receiver is now ready to operate. After the unit has been switched on, each of the indi-cator lamps lights up briefly in succession. This forms part of a self-test of the unit and lets you know that it is functioning correctly.

OK button
Press the OK button to acknowledge incoming signals. This will switch off the acou-stic signal. The indicator lamps light and go out automatically after a total of 40 seconds. Furthermore, you can press the OK button to call up the most recent signal again (the function works for up to 3 minutes after receipt of the signal).
The acoustic signal will not be repeated.

The setting of the volume

• Volume: continuously adjustable (max. 100 dB)

Note (special accessory)

Vibrating pillow or other modules:

• Flash module MF-1
• Switch module MS-1
  can be connected to the corresponding jacks of the acoustic RF receiver.

The following audio devices can be connected to the 3.5 mm audio out jack:

• Infrared transmission systems
• Radio transmission systems
• Induction loop transmission systems
• Hi-fi systems or active speaker systems

Setting up the system

Mains operation
Insert the plug at the end of the 9 V power supply into the corresponding jack on the rear side of the acoustic RF receiver. Then plug the power supply unit into the normal 230 V socket in your house.

Power failure backup
Please note that the device is designed for mains operation. The battery and recharge-able battery are used as backup only in the event of a power failure.

Inserting the battery
The acoustic RF receiver can also be powered by a 9 V block battery (not included with the device). There is a battery compartment located on the rear side of the acoustic RF receiver. Open it by sliding the cover of the battery compartment to the right of the receiver using your thumb. Connect a 9 V block battery to the connector plug, place the battery into the recess and close the receiver again. When the battery is connected, the receiving signals may be triggered once.

1c. Inserting the rechargeable battery The acoustic RF receiver can also be powered by a rechargeable battery (A-2995-0), which is available as a special accessory. Open it by sliding the cover of the battery compartment to the right of the receiver using your thumb. To connect the rechargeable battery, insert the battery plug into the outlet in the battery compartment. The separate re-chargeable battery connection makes sure that a 9 V block battery will not be recharged by mistake. The rechargeable battery is recharged when the acoustic RF receiver is connected to the mains power supply.

Prior to using the rechargeable battery for the first time, it must be recharged for 12 hours.

For rechargeable battery operation, use and recharge only the special rechargeable battery A-2995-0. Rechargeable batteries cannot be recharged using the 9 V block battery connection!

Setting the correct radio channel
A special digital transmission process ensures that the radio signals are picked up without errors. This process also makes it possible to set 10 different radio channels. When supplied from the factory, all-acoustic RF receivers are set to channel 0. It is only necessary to set units to other channels if you have several different users operating units in the same building. Set the required channel by using a small screwdriver to turn the channel selector switch, which is located on the right side of the unit, to the required channel number.
All transmitters and receivers must be set to the same channel.

Example: Set channel number

Transmission signal detection

The acoustic RF receiver converts the signals sent by the lisa RF transmitter into different sounds (telephone ringing, doorbell, baby cries, etc.).
At the same time, it is also possible to see which Lisa signal has been sent because the corresponding LED will either flash or light up for 40 seconds.

• Telephone: The telephone LED lights up in orange and you can hear the sound of a telephone ringing.
• A door I: Door LED lights up in green and you can hear the sound of a doorbell.
• Door II: Door LED flashes in green and you can hear the sound of a different doorbell to the first one.
• Babycall: Babymonitor LED lights up in white and you can hear the sound of a baby crying.
• Person call: Person call LED lights up in yel-low and you can hear the pager signal.
• Alarm: All 6 LEDs flash and you can hear an alarm signal.
• Water alarm: Water-alarm LED lights up in blue and you can hear an alarm signal.
• Fire alarm: Fire-alarm LED lights up in red and you can hear an alarm signal.

Transmission range

Note the following points when using the acoustic RF receiver:
The radio signals are designed to have a range of 80 meters under optimum conditions. The following conditions may result in a reduced range:

• Signal transmission through building structures or vegetation.
• Interference from TVs, computer monitors, and mobile phones. Under certain circum- stances, this may prevent the receiver from functioning at all.
• Positioning of the transmitter at an un- favorable distance from surfaces that reflect radio waves, for example, floors and walls. This may lead to the signal wave be- ing weakened or even canceled out by the reflected wave.
• Metallic objects reduce the range due to the shielding effect of the metal.
• Particularly in towns and cities, there may be many other sources of radio waves that can disrupt the original signal.
• Having units operating at similar frequencies located close to one another may also result in mutual interference.

Maintenance and care

The acoustic RF receiver does not require any maintenance. If the unit does become dirty, simply wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth.

Note: remove the acoustic RF receiver from main socket!

Never use spirits, thinners or other organic solvents. Do not set up the acoustic RF receiver where it will be exposed to full sun-light for long periods. In addition, it must be protected against excessive heat, moisture and severe mechanical shocks.
Note: This product is not protected against splash water. Do not place any containers filled with water, such as flower vases, or anything with an open flame, such as a lit candle, on or near the product.
Please make sure that the batteries are not exposed to excessive heat from such as sunlight, fire or anything similar.

Warranty

The acoustic RF receiver is a very reliable product. Should a malfunction occur despite the unit having been set up and operated correctly, please contact your dealer or the manufacturer directly.
