OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
POWER ON/OFF:
The receiver is powered on and off by inserting the headphone plug into the headphone jack. When you plug the
headphones in, the receiver will turn on. When you unplug the headphones, the receiver will turn off after a few
seconds.
SETTING UP AND PROGRAMMING THE CHANNELS:
The receiver has six “groups” of frequencies that are pre-programmed to channel numbers that correspond to the
frequency/channel pairs used by the various entertainment/fitness equipment manufacturers. These “groups” allow
you to directly interface with transmitters and receivers from other manufacturers. The “groups” match up to the
manufacturers as follows:
Group 1 – ARG’s Custom Channels
Group 2 – User programmable w/auto-scanning feature
Group 3 – Compatible with Cardio Theater (XTV-9T) products
Group 4 – Compatible with Cardio Theater (XTV-9TM) products
Group 5 – Compatible with MYE/Fantaay/True products
Group 6 – Compatible with BVe/Broadcast Vision products
The receiver comes preset to Group 1, the ARG custom channel grouping. If you need to change the
group/frequencies to be compatible with other manufacturer’s equipment, you can change the group number as
follows:
1. Press and hold the “VOLUME UP” and “MEMO” buttons at the same time for about four seconds until
the lock icon disappears and the small group number shows in the center of the display.
2. Using the “MUTE” button, choose the group number of the frequency/channel pairs you wish to use
based on the list above.
3. The “CHANNEL UP” and “CHANNEL DOWN” buttons allow you to view the channels available in that
specific group. Choose the channels you are using by pressing the “MEMO” button to enable/disable
the channels in the group. The channels with the word “MEMORY” showing in the display are enabled
and vice versa. For example: if you have three TV’s each one with its own transmitter, you would
enable channels 1, 2, and 3.
4. Return to normal “user” mode by pressing and holding the “VOLUME UP” and “MEMO” buttons together
for four seconds once again.
If you are going to select your own frequencies/channel pairs, you can do so by first using the previous process to set
the receiver to “group 2”. Leave the receiver in the programming mode to set-up your own frequency/channel pairs
that correspond to the frequencies you have set your transmitters to broadcast on. At this point you MUST have the
receiver perform an “auto-scan” to determine what frequencies are being used by the devices in your facility. The
receiver has to scan through all of the frequencies in the 900MHz bandwidth to “find” the frequencies that are in use
at your location. Before going through the “auto-scan” procedure, make sure that ALL of the transmitters in your
facility are: a) powered on, b) connected to a signal source, c) set to and broadcasting on your desired broadcast
frequencies.
Now, perform the “auto-scan” function as follows:
1. Double check to make sure the receiver is in the “user” mode
2. Press and hold the MUTE and SCAN buttons for five seconds. This will put the receiver into “setting mode”
3. Start the auto-scan” process by pressing the “SCAN” button once. The receiver will now scan ALL the
frequencies in the 900MHz bandwidth. (902MHZ to 928MHz) Every time the receiver detects a signal, it will
store that frequency to a list of used frequencies that you will pair with channel numbers later. It takes about
two minutes for the receiver to complete the auto-scan process.
