Frequently asked questions
About the Environment Question Is there a maximum distance of transmission between Philips Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System and Wi-Fi routers for effective streaming? Answer Yes. The maximum distance of Wi-Fi transmission is 250m measured in open spaces. However, in a home environment, where solid obstacles such as walls and doors are present the effective transmission distance is significantly reduced to approximately 50 - 100m.Try to re-position the set if you experience transmission problems.
mci300_qsg_01eng.indd 8 02-06-08 18:30:31
About Music Management Question Answer Is Philips Wireless Micro Hi-Fi Yes, Philips Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System are software System upgradeable? upgradeable, which means that they are ready for future functional upgrades if available. Check our website regularly for the latest news on new features and improvements at http://www.philips.com/support. About Connections Question I have followed all the steps in the user manual to connect the Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System to the home network, but the system is still not connected, what can I do? Answer On the Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System, press MENU, then select [Information] > [Wireless] > [Wireless mode]. Check that the Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System has been changed from Ad hoc mode to Infrastructure mode. Also check that the SSID, IP address, WEP key, or WPA key matches the setup of your wireless home network. Try to change the SSID on your router to a more unique name to ensure that it is different from the SSID that your neighbors use for their router. The Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System supports wireless and wired connection at the same time. There is a chance that your wireless IP address and your wired IP address are on the same subnet. This will confuse the device. Consider changing the DHCP range of your wireless router so that the wireless IP received by the device is on a different subnet from its wired IP address. Try to change the channel of your home network settings on the router. On your router, consider using a WPA key instead of a WEP key. When you use a WEP as your encryption key, set all 4 keys to be the same. Ensure that the turbo mode of your wireless router is switched off, if your router has this function.

Hearing Safety

Listen at a moderate volume. Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing.This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute.The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds normal can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there. To establish a safe volume level: Set your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. Listen for reasonable periods of time: Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally safe levels, can also cause hearing loss. Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks. Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones. Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time. Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts. Do not turn up the volume so high that you cant hear whats around you. You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
