AR300/AL300 Operation
Operating In FREE Mode
You can tune in an exact frequency using the AR300’s FREE mode. Once you are in FREE
mode you can change the frequency by 25 kHz steps. For most situations, it’s better to
use the GROUP Channel plan but if your application requires an exact frequency, follow
these steps to operate in FREE mode.
1. Press the EDIT controller three times until the display’s FREE icon turns on and
Frequency number flashes.
2. Next, turn the EDIT controller until you reach the desired frequency number.
3. Once you have the desired frequency set on the AR300 you’re ready to transmit the
infrared channel data to the AL300. Have the transmitter ready in your hand with the
Power switch set to off.
4. Double click the EDIT controller and you see the display flash “IR SET” indicating that
the AR300 is sending the channel information over infrared transmission.
5. Now, position the transmitter about 6-inches from the front of the AR300 with the
AL300 IR receiver facing the AR300’s LCD display and turn the power on.
You will now see the corresponding Absolute Channel in the AL300 LCD display
indicating that the transmitter is matched to the receiver.
If you want to see the Absolute channel while the AR300 is in Free Mode, simply turn
the EDIT control and it will toggle between the exact Frequency and the Absolute
Channel.
To exit FREE Mode, just press the EDIT controller switch and you will return to the Group
and Absolute Channel fields. Once you are in the Group Channel or Absolute Channel
field and you have selected your channel, double click the EDIT control to perform the
IR set and lock in the channel. You can also use the Scan function to find a clear channel
by pressing and holding the EDIT knob. If you do not perform an IR set or Channel
Scan, the AR300 will return to Free Mode and the channel will be set to the previously
selected frequency.
