Gnomad plugs
into the Audio Output of your Digibox and retransmits the signal over the airwaves,
to all your FM Radios. Transmits its Mono signal via a very stable 50mW FM transmitter.
The unit is powered from the RF2 connector on the back of your Digibox.
When you receive your Gnomad from us, you may need to go through a one-off procedure,
to turn on the power supply output, of the RF2 connector on the back of the
Digibox.
The procedure is as follows.
On your $KY Remote Control, Press the "Services" Key
Then Press Key Number "4"
Then Press Key Number "0"
Then Press Key Number "1"
Then Press The "Select" Key
(Do The "0-1-Select" Key Sequence In Quick Succession)
You Should Then See On The Screen, The "Installers Setup" Menu
If you
do not see this screen, press the "Back Up" key 3 times, and start
again
Then Press Key Number "4" (RF Outlets)
You Should Then See On The Screen, The "RF Outlets" Menu
Use The Down Cursor Key To Highlight The "RF Outlet Power Supply"
Option
If The Option Says "OFF" Change This To "ON" Using The Right
Cursor Key
If The Option Already Says "ON" Do Not Change
This, Just Press The "Back Up" Key 3 Times And You Have Finished.
Use The Down Cursor Key To Highlight The "Save New Settings" Option
Then Press The "Select" Key
Then Press The "Back Up" Key 3 Times
This should bring you back to the place where you started. If at anytime during
this procedure you make a mistake, do NOT "Save" anything, just press
the "Back Up" button 3 times, and start again. It is VERY important
that you do not change any of the other settings, in any of the "Set Up"
menus.
If you are
already using the RF2 socket for something else, then you will need to purchase
a "Y" connector.
If you find
on arrival that Gnomad is transmitting on a frequency close to, or on an existing
Radio Station, then please retune Gnomad to another frequency. To do this take
the case apart and adjust the control on the printed circuit board as shown.
The process is as follows, unplug the lead going to the RF connector of the
digibox. Now tune your FM radio to a clear spot where no radio channels are
transmitting and leave it on this frequency. Now reconnect Gnomad to the RF
Connector, now adjust the "Frequency Adjust" control on the printed
circuit board of Gnomad (see picture). If you use a metal screwdriver, you will
find that the metal of the screwdriver, changes the frequency that Gnomad transmits
at, when placed near to the adjuster. This cannot be helped, so unless you have
access to a plastic trimmer screwdriver, you will need to make small adjustments,
move the screwdriver away from the board and see if you have found the frequency
your FM radio is now tuned to. If it is not, keep making adjustments, till you
find it, or close to it.
When compared to the $KY Gnome, this unit has a LOT more output power so can
travel much greater distances. Our unit will transmit its signal up to 250 Metres
or more, compared to the 30 Metre (so called) range of the Gnome.
