Stegos – Safety and Environment 4 Thank you for selecting the Stegos wireless digital boundary microphone system. Please take some time to read carefully through this manual before setting up the equipment. The wireless Stegos system includes receiver and boundary microphone and has been developed especially for the use with video conference systems. Up to three Stegos systems can be operated in neighbouring rooms simultaneously. 1. Safety and environment 1.
Stegos – Safety and Environment 5 Humidity / heat sources • Never expose the equipment to rain or a high level of humidity. For this reason do not install it in the immediate vicinity of swimming pools, showers, damp basement rooms or other areas with unusually high atmospheric humidity. • Never place objects containing liquid (e.g. vases or drinking glasses) on the equipment. Liquids in the equipment could cause a short circuit.
Stegos – Safety and Environment 6 1.2 • • • • 1.3 • • • Stegos TB boundary microphone Protect the boundary microphone from moisture and sudden impacts. You could either injure yourself or others or damage the microphone. Never take batteries apart yourself. The battery acid contained will damage skin and clothing. The boundary microphone does not contain any user-serviceable parts inside. Dismantling the microphone yourself may invalidate the guarantee.
Stegos – RS Receiver 2. 7 Stegos RS receiver The receiver provides three different connections for video conference systems: 3-pin Phoenix terminal strip, mini jack (3.5 mm) and 3-pin XLR. The individual microphone signals are available via a multipin Phoenix terminal strip. For the data exchange with media control systems or PC there is an RS 232 interface and a USB connection available. The channel LEDs display which channel is occupied (red) or available (green).

Stegos – WLAN 8.2 19 Stegos and WLAN or WiFi Like WLAN, the Stegos system uses the same bandwidth of approx. 22 MHz for each RF channel (Low, Mid, High). This results in three compatible RF channels in the 2.4 GHz-ISM band.
Stegos – WLAN 20 For this reason the WLAN channels 1, 6 and 11 were selected for the RF channels Low, Mid and High used for the Stegos system. Due to this frequency compatibility the Stegos system is operated WLANfriendly. Due to careful frequency planning it is possible to operate one Stegos receiver and a maximum of two WLAN devices nearby simultaneously. More tips for installation • Keep a minimum distance of approx. 5 m between WLAN or WiFi devices (e.g.
