User Manual

SKAA USER’S GUIDE(for SKAA OS v2.1)Each SKAA® receiver uses a Green List to keep track of your favorite transmitters. Using a favorite transmitter as well as hunting through your favorite transmitters is signaled by a Green LED. Your receiver can also explore to find new, unknown transmitters. Exploring is signaled by an Amber LED. If your product has two or more wireless receivers—for example, a left speaker and a right speaker—that’s called a Cluster and all of its pieces act as one. The SKAA Button on your receiver lets you control which transmitter you’re listening to (button with logo).EssentialsCommandLED MeaningClickFavorites Hunt for your favorite transmitters ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSQuestionAnswerHow does the Green List work?Every time you add a transmitter, it is automatically assigned the first open spot on the Green List—so if you already have two transmitters on your Green List, the next one you add will go in Green List spot #3. The receiver can hunt through the Green List much like a car radio hunts for radio stations when you press “seek”. If you see the Green LED flash, the receiver is automatically moving through your Green List, checking for each favorite transmitter as it goes. For example if you have 3 transmitters on your Green List, your receiver will hunt for them in order 1, 2 then 3, then back to 1 and so on (the Green LED will flash every time it advances from one to the next). The receiver looks for each transmitter for about 3 seconds and then moves on to the next one if it doesn’t find it. If it does find it, it stops there, bonds with it and starts playing its audio. If you don’t see the Green list flash, the receiver is just sitting, waiting for one particular favorite transmitter to show up. Click the SKAA button once to flip back and forth between these two modes (hunting through your whole Green List, and sitting waiting for one particular transmitter to show up). You can store up to 10 favorite transmitters on your Green List.How do I choose a specific transmitter? If you have a dim Green LED (you aren’t hearing any audio), click the SKAA button once. The Green LED will flash once every 3 seconds as the receiver moves through your Green List, stopping at each spot and hunting for the associated transmitter. Once it finds one, it will bond to it and play its audio. If that isn’t the transmitter you want, click the SKAA button once more. Repeat until you find the transmitter you want.How to I delete a transmitter from my Green List?Let’s start by saying that the 6-click command (delete everything and start over) is very handy. The author uses it. All the time. If however, you’d like to surgically remove just one transmitter from your Green List, read on. First you must get your receiver to sit on the proper spot on the Green List—the spot holding the offending transmitter. The easiest way to do this is to bond your receiver to the transmitter you want to delete (see How do I choose a specific transmitter? above). Next, hold the SKAA button down for a few seconds (until you see the Red LED flash to indicate the transmitter is gonzo).What is the Master receiver?In any Cluster, there is a single Master receiver, and all of the other receivers in the Cluster follow its behavior. The Master has a working SKAA Button and you can control the entire Cluster with that one button.Can any receiver become the Master of a Cluster?No. A receiver must have a physical SKAA Button in order to be made the Master of a Cluster. If a receiver has no SKAA Button it can only operate as a subordinate part of a Cluster—it cannot be the Master of that Cluster and it cannot operate independently.How do I “uncluster” several receivers?Do the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure once for each receiver, omitting step 3. This will give each of the receivers a functioning SKAA Button, and each of them will thereafter operate independently.What are some tips for making Clusters?Each step in the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure has a 10 second time limit. For example, when you see the Master’s LED start to flash, you have up to 10 seconds to power on the next receiver. When that receiver’s LED starts flashing, you have 10 more seconds to power on the next one, and so on.Why does only one of my SKAA Buttons work?If you’ve made a Cluster from several receivers, the first one powered on in the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure is the Master of the Cluster. Only the Master’s SKAA Button will be functional because a Cluster uses just one SKAA Button (and one Green List).Can any group of receivers be made into a Cluster?No. The receivers must be members of the same product family. If they are not, the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure won’t work. This is because only receivers that were designed to work together (as a single product) can be made into a Cluster.
