·Connect the codec to an IP network and configure peer-to-peer, multicast or multi-unicast

connections.

·Configure the codec over a LAN or USB cable.

·Adjust audio and other settings within the codec.

·Configure automatic SDHC card backup.

Please read Getting Connected Quickly for an overview of how to configure the codec using

'programs' to store connection settings.

2 Warnings and Safety Information

THUNDERSTORM AND LIGHTNING WARNING:

DO NOT USE Tieline codecs during thunderstorms and lightning. You may suffer an injury

using a Tieline codec, or any device connected to a LAN connection during a

thunderstorm. This can lead to personal injury and in extreme cases may be fatal.

Protective devices can be fitted to lines, however, due to the extremely high voltages and

energy levels involved in lightning strikes, these devices may not offer protection to users,

the Tieline codec and equipment connected to the codec.

Secondary strikes can occur. These secondary strikes are induced by lightning strikes and

also produce dangerously high currents and energy levels. You only need to be near an

object struck by lightning to lead to personal injury or damage to equipment. e.g. if located

near a lighting tower at a sports facility, water features and drains on golf courses you may

be affected by these secondary strikes.

Damage to personnel and Tieline codecs may occur during thunderstorm, even if the

codec is turned off but is connected to the system or the power.

ANY DAMAGE TO A TIELINE PRODUCT CAUSED BY LIGHTNING or an ELECTRICAL

STORM WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Use of this product is subject to Tieline's

SOFTWARE LICENSE and WARRANTY conditions, which should be viewed at
