Question
Answer
How does the Green
List work?
Every time you add a transmitter, it is automatically assigned the first open spot on the
Green List—so if you already have two transmitters on your Green List, the next one you
add will go in Green List spot #3. The receiver can hunt through the Green List much like
a car radio hunts for radio stations when you press “seek”. If you see the Green LED
flash, the receiver is automatically moving through your Green List, checking for each
favorite transmitter as it goes. For example if you have 3 transmitters on your Green List,
your receiver will hunt for them in order 1, 2 then 3, then back to 1 and so on (the Green
LED will flash every time it advances from one to the next). The receiver looks for each
transmitter for about 3 seconds and then moves on to the next one if it doesn’t find it. If
it does find it, it stops there, bonds with it and starts playing its audio. If you don’t see
the Green list flash, the receiver is just sitting, waiting for one particular favorite
transmitter to show up. Click the SKAA button once to flip back and forth between these
two modes (hunting through your whole Green List, and sitting waiting for one particular
transmitter to show up). You can store up to 10 favorite transmitters on your Green List.
How do I choose a
specific transmitter?
If you have a dim Green LED (you aren’t hearing any audio), click the SKAA button once.
The Green LED will flash once every 3 seconds as the receiver moves through your Green
List, stopping at each spot and hunting for the associated transmitter. Once it finds one, it
will bond to it and play its audio. If that isn’t the transmitter you want, click the SKAA
button once more. Repeat until you find the transmitter you want.
How to I delete a
transmitter from my
Green List?
Let’s start by saying that the 6-click command (delete everything and start over) is very
handy. The author uses it. All the time. If however, you’d like to surgically remove just
one transmitter from your Green List, read on. First you must get your receiver to sit on
the proper spot on the Green List—the spot holding the offending transmitter. The easiest
way to do this is to bond your receiver to the transmitter you want to delete (see How do
I choose a specific transmitter? above). Next, hold the SKAA button down for a few
seconds (until you see the Red LED flash to indicate the transmitter is gonzo).
What is the Master
receiver?
In any Cluster, there is a single Master receiver, and all of the other receivers in the
Cluster follow its behavior. The Master has a working SKAA Button and you can control
the entire Cluster with that one button.
Can any receiver
become the Master
of a Cluster?
No. A receiver must have a physical SKAA Button in order to be made the Master of a
Cluster. If a receiver has no SKAA Button it can only operate as a subordinate part of a
Cluster—it cannot be the Master of that Cluster and it cannot operate independently.
How do I
“uncluster” several
receivers?
Do the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure once for each receiver, omitting step 3. This
will give each of the receivers a functioning SKAA Button, and each of them will thereafter
operate independently.
What are some tips
for making
Clusters?
Each step in the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure has a 10 second time limit. For
example, when you see the Master’s LED start to flash, you have up to 10 seconds to
power on the next receiver. When that receiver’s LED starts flashing, you have 10 more
seconds to power on the next one, and so on.
Why does only one
of my SKAA Buttons
work?
If you’ve made a Cluster from several receivers, the first one powered on in the Make a
Cluster of receivers procedure is the Master of the Cluster. Only the Master’s SKAA Button
will be functional because a Cluster uses just one SKAA Button (and one Green List).
Can any group of
receivers be made
into a Cluster?
No. The receivers must be members of the same product family. If they are not, the
Make a Cluster of receivers procedure won’t work. This is because only receivers that
were designed to work together (as a single product) can be made into a Cluster.
