Troubleshooting - Philips WACS7000 Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING
Never try to repair the system yourself as this will invalidate the warranty. Do not open the
system as there is a risk of electric shock.
If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If you are
unable to resolve a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or Philips for help.
Problem
During the first-time setup, the display
on the Station shows "Searching for
Center".
I get interference on my wireless (Wi-Fi)
link between the Center and Station.
The WACS7000 operates in the 2.4GHz radio
frequency spectrum. Many other household/IT
devices also operate in this frequency spectrum,
for example: microwave ovens, Dect phones,
bluetooth devices like bluetooth headphones,
computer mouse, wireless routers, cordless
phones,Wi-Fi compatible printers, PDAs.These
devices can interfere with the Wi-Fi link
between the Center and Station, resulting in
interference such as pause during playback, slow
response to your operation, etc.The severity of
interference varies depending on the extent of
radiation from the device and the strength of
Wi-Fi signals in that position.

Authentication Type, select WEP or WPA.
✔ Change the operating channel of the Center
and Station when connecting them to an
existing wireless PC network.To change
channels, connect the Center/Station to your
PC using Philips Wireless Audio Device
Manager (WADM) in the by-packed PC Suite
CD. In WADM's Device configuration, enter
the SSID of your Wireless Network, and select
