strength that could potentially cause problems. You can also monitor the signal through a headset
connected to the mixer, if the receiver has been connected to it.
If you are using remote antennas (with the XD-DA8 antenna distribution system), you can reposition
them to obtain better coverage and improve or eliminate areas with lower signal strength. With the
antennas connected to the receiver, you can place it where it has better line-of-sight to the transmitter.
Note: If there are still spots where poor signal reception occurs, mark the problem areas on the floor
with removable tape and let the user know to avoid those areas.
Avoiding WiFi Interference
If you see moderate to strong interference on one or more channels as shown by the RF LEDs turning
red when the transmitter is off, it is likely that you are seeing a WiFi channel that is operating in the
same location. If you can locate that equipment and position your receivers farther from it, or remote
the receiver antennas farther from it if using an antenna distribution system, the interference may lessen
in strength. Also be aware that your transmitters may interfere with the WiFi network operation if they
are transmitting close to the routers. The best option when you see strong interfering signals is to use
the other available Line 6 channels that are clear.
The most commonly used WiFi channels (note that their numbering does not correspond with Line
6 channels) are channels 1, 6, and 11. These channels each cover 20 MHz of spectrum, and usually
only one WiFi channel will be in use in a location. In the majority of cases, any of the Line 6 wireless
channels will be compatible with existing WiFi with minimal to no interference, and in all cases you
will be able to use six to eight channels of Line 6 wireless while completely avoiding the WiFi channel.
Use the channels in the following chart.

Note: Cellular phones with Bluetooth or WiFi capabilities transmit signals in the 2.4 GHz band, so are
a potential source of interference when near the receiver antennas. Use these functions of your phone
at least a few feet away from the receivers when you are operating the wireless system.
