Establishing communication  
Rocketboost products form an audio network and each Rocketboost  
wireless receiver can select the audio from any Rocketboost wireless  
sender in the network.  
Important  
Every Rocketboost network must contain one hub device, which helps  
devices join the network. The network can have only one hub, which  
you can enable using the hub switch on the back of all Rocketboost  
wireless senders and the wireless sender/receiver.  
If this is your first Rocketboost product, you should make the wireless  
sender/receiver the hub, if you already have Rocketboost products, you  
should disable hub mode on this device.  
Important: Hub devices must always have power for your network to  
operate. The hub device can be in standby (power saving) mode, but  
must stay plugged in.  
All Rocketboost devices must be “joined” or wirelessly connected to  
your Rocketboost hub device so that audio can be sent between them.  
The following steps describe how to join Rocketboost devices.  
To establish communications:  
1
2
3
If you are setting up your network for the first time, choose one of  
your Rocketboost wireless senders to be your hub device by setting  
the Hub Status switch to Enable. For example, if you want this wireless  
sender/receiver to be the hub, set the Hub Status switch on the  
wireless sender/receiver to Enable.  
If you already have a Rocketboost network established, set the Hub  
Status switch on this wireless sender/receiver to Disable.  
The wireless sender/receiver power indicator lights green if the  
wireless sender/receiver Hub Status switch is enabled, or lights blue if  
the wireless sender/receiver Hub Status switch is disabled.  
If possible, bring your Rocketboost hub device, and the new  
Rocketboost device to which you’d like to join to the hub, into the  
same room.

Rocketboost Network Capabilities  
The maximum number of Rocketboost devices in a Rocketboost  
Network is 9. If you already have 9 devices and attempt to join another  
one, then joining will fail for the new device.  
Note: If you want to remove a device from your Rocketboost network  
you need to rejoin it to a different hub device (this basically creates a  
2nd Rocketboost network).  
The maximum number of audio streams that can be sent  
simultaneously on the Rocketboost network is:  
5 stereo CD quality -or-  
1 stereo HD quality + 3 CD quality -or-

Note: HD streams are available if using the Rocketboost Wireless HD  
Audio Starter Kit wireless sender. If your system is in a maximum audio  
stream state, then the Send mode indicator will not light on the  
wireless sender devices that have exceeded the maximum. To use those  
device's audio streams, you need to turn off one of your other wireless  
senders.

Use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and  
water. Dry the device immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Do not  
use abrasive cloth, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because  
they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.  
Cautions:  
Do not block the ventilation openings.  
If the power cord is damaged, it must be repaired by a qualified  
technician.  
Troubleshooting  
Check this information for a possible solution before calling for  
assistance.  
General troubleshooting  
Every Rocketboost network must contain only one hub device,  
which helps other Rocketboost wireless devices join the network.  
You can turn any Rocketboost wireless sender or wireless  
sender/receiver into a hub by using the HUB STATUS or HUB ENABLE  
switch on the back of the device. The network can only have  
one hub.  
The hub device must have power for the audio network to  
operate. The hub can be in standby (power-saving mode), but  
must remain plugged in.  
The existing hub device will be the device with the green  
power indicator.  
The unobstructed operating range of a Rocketboost network is 150  
feet (45 meters).

Each network must contain both a wireless sender device and a  
wireless receiver device. Do you have both a wireless sender and a  
wireless receiver device?  
Problem  
Solution  
No communication  
between the  
Rocketboost sender and  
receiver devices.  
• Make sure that the power indicators of the Rocketboost wireless sender and  
“Establishing communication” on page 21.  
• If the joining process is failing, make sure that only one of your Rocketboost  
wireless devices has the Hub switch enabled. Note that the hub device will  
be the only device with the green power indicator. Non-hub devices have a  
blue power indicator.  
No sound  
• Check the volume level of the audio sources connected to the wireless  
sender.  
• Make sure that all of the audio cables are connected correctly.  
• Make sure that the power indicators of the Rocketboost wireless sender and  
wireless receiver devices are lit solidly. If the indicators are blinking, see  
“Establishing communication” on page 21.  
• Make sure the audio source connected to your wireless sender is On.  
• Make sure the wireless sender or wireless receiver devices are not Muted.  
The Receive mode indicator light blinks when the device is muted.  
• When using computer USB audio, make sure your computer audio volume is  
turned up and not muted. Depending on your computer and operating  
system you may have to adjust this in the operating system volume settings  
or in the application you are using (for example, Windows Media Player).

• The battery in your remote may be dead. Try replacing it with a new battery.  
• Rocketboost remote volume controls are not supported by the RF-RBUSB  
wireless sender/receiver, since it uses a line-level output. The volume can be  
controlled at the amplifier or powered speaker connected to the wireless  
sender/receiver.

• To maximize your volume level through the system, make sure your source  
devices (i.e., A/V receiver, MP3 player, etc.) have their volume turned up to at  
least 50% of their volume level.  
Sound interference  
• Experiment with different orientations or locations of your wireless sender  
device.  
• Make sure your wireless sender device is more than 18 inches from any WiFi  
routers you may have.  
• Shorten the distance between the Rocketboost wireless devices. The  
maximum distance is 150 feet (45 m), but this distance will be reduced as  
the wireless signal passes through walls or other obstructions.  
• It is possible other devices like cordless phones, microwaves, wireless  
routers, etc. may be causing interference. Try turning one device off at a time  
to determine which device is causing interference.  
• If your cordless phone or wireless router is causing interference try changing  
the channel it is using. Please refer to your device’s owner manual.
