ETTING UP THE
TX295 T
RANSMITTER
The WIR TX295 Transmitter may be placed on top of a TV or
shelf. Place the TX295 Transmitter where it is clearly visible from
your listening position.
Infrared light behaves like visible light, so it is blocked by solid
objects. This confines the signal to the room where the transmitter
is located. The Transmitter cannot be placed inside or behind any-
thing except glass. The maximum operating distance is approxi-
mately 30 feet (9 m).
Ideally, the TX295 Transmitter should be at ear-level height or
above. The infrared light pattern is much like a floodlight “cone”
as it leaves the transmitter, with the best reception inside the cone.
Sunlight can cause infrared interference in the form of a buzz,
hiss, or static. Thus, the system cannot be used outdoors and may
not work properly inside if a lot of direct sunlight is present.
Closing drapes or blinds will help if sunlight is a problem.
Any number of receivers may be used with the TX295
Transmitter, but use only one transmitter in a room at the same
time. Otherwise, interference will occur.
