Quick Setup

To set up the loudspeaker:

Step

1. Connect the AC power cord from a grounded receptacle to the MAINS IN to ensure the battery has sufficient charge. Note: It is recommended to leave the loudspeaker plugged in and charging for 24 hours the first time it is used.

2. Switch power to ON.

3. Adjust the volume (VOL) to 0 dB using the MASTER VOL knob.

4. Push the input selection soft key for INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 if using an XLR or ¼-inch (6.35 mm) cable, or push the input selection soft key for INPUT 3/4 if using Bluetooth or 3.5 mm mini jack.
   Use the MASTER VOL knob to adjust INPUT LEVEL to MUTE.

5. Connect an audio source using an XLR, TRS, or TS cable to INPUT 1, INPUT 2, or a 3.5 mm mini jack to INPUT 3/4. Ensure audio source is MUTE or at a low level before making connection. After connection is made, increase the source’s output to a reasonable level.

6. Adjust the INPUT LEVEL until the signal peaks are just below maximum level or the required output is achieved. If PK (PEAK) is indicated, turn the level down until the PK indication disappears.
   Press the input selection soft key again to exit the channel menu.

7. Using the MASTER VOL knob, adjust the volume (VOL) until you get the required output from the loudspeaker.
