Changing The Wireless Channel Manually (Home Wireless) - Sony LocationFree LF-X11 Operating Instructions Manual

Changing the
Wireless Channel
Manually (Home
Wireless)
At the time of purchase, the LocationFree TV is
set up to select the best channel automatically,
either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
When the wireless communication signal
becomes unstable during wireless operation, the
LocationFree TV automatically shifts to the
clearest wireless channel. In the following
situations, however, you should change the
wireless channel manually:
• TV pictures are frequently interrupted.
• You want to set the optimum wireless channel
manually.
• Another wireless device using the same
frequency is located near the unit.
• You want to connect a computer to the Base
Station as a wireless access point.
Notes
• While configuring the wireless channel, do not turn
off the Base Station or Monitor.
• While configuring the wireless channel, place the
Monitor next to the Base Station.
