With a range of up to 48 (15m), your options for locating your subwoofer where you need it to be are wide open. The wireless transmitter and receiver have integrated RF antennas. The SW-T should generally be placed as high as possible and away from other RF sources or large metal objects that might reduce its operating range. Step One: Connect the SW-T to your surround sound receiver (or other audio source). The SW-T features line-level stereo inputs. You can connect a left/right audio signal to these inputs or connect your receivers LFE (Low Frequency Effects) output to the SW-T input labeled L/LFE. Step Two: Connect the power supply to the SW-Ts power connector (labeled 5V) and plug the other end into an electrical outlet. Step Three: Mount the SW-R Receiver to your Niles SW6.5 or SW8 subwoofer. When mounting the SW-R Receiver to your subwoofer, orient the SW-R so that the 4-pin cable connector is on the top left side of the subwoofer. This assures proper orientation of the internal antenna to provide maximum range. Use the included mounting screws to attach the SW-R to the rear of the Niles subwoofer. The rear panel of compatible subwoofers is marked with an outline showing the proper mounting location and has threaded inserts for the mounting screws. Insert the 4-pin cable into the connector on the side of the SW-R Receiver so that the cable leads downward towards the floor. Connect the SW-Rs power/data cable to the port labeled Wireless Portyour Niles SW6.5 or SW8 subwoofer. The SW-R will receive its power directly from the Niles subwoofer, eliminating the need for a separate power cable for the wireless receiver. Additionally, the same 4-pin DIN cable will also supply the audio signals that the subwoofer requires. Apply power to the Niles subwoofer and turn the unit on in order to supply power to the SW-R receiver. Step Four (Pairing): Each SW-R Receiver must be paired with its SW-T transmitter. This pairing only needs to be performed once. Up to 4 SW-R receivers can be paired to a single SW-T transmitter. If more than four SW-R receivers are paired, the 5th SW-R will replace the 1st SW-R that was paired and so on, keeping a limit of 4 paired devices at any one time. To pair an SW-R to an SW-T: Press the pairing button on the SW-T. The status light will begin to blink. Within 10 seconds, press the pairing button on the SW-R. Its status light will also begin to blink. Both devices should pair automatically and their status lights will stay lit when paired. The pairing process is now complete and you are ready to begin using your wireless subwoofer. The subwoofer can now be re-located anywhere within the room provided that it stays within 48 feet of the SW-T. Keep in mind that RF conditions will vary depending on many sources, so the actual range you experience may be less than 48 feet. 1-800-BUY-HIFI www.nilesaudio.com 9901216-RevF-MANUAL-SWT-SWR.indd 5 5/22/12 4:05 PM ProPer orientation of wireleSS reCeiVer (Sw-r) For better performance and signal strength, place receiver with the led facing towards the top of the cabinet, or in other words, be sure the Niles Logo is upright and readable. 0 dB MIN MAX 90 0 180 100 Hz NORMAL 150 Hz BYPASS 50 Hz L E V E L E S A H P Y C N E U Q E R F Signal Sense Always ON Trigger Input T U P T U O T U P N I L L/
