Important Tips

• Place the Soundbar on a level surface.
• Place the Soundbar away from any source that may generate heat or vibrations.
• Make sure there is enough space around the Soundbar for airflow.
• The remote control works up to 6 meters away from the Soundbar.
• Unplug the Soundbar before cleaning it.
• Clean using a dry cloth only – do not use water or chemicals.
• Use only the power supply provided.
• Keep liquid, children, and pets away from the Soundbar at all times.

Installation – Free Standing

This soundbar can sit free-standing on a surface, or it can be mounted to a wall.

Place on a secure, flat surface. Make sure the soundbar is standing on its rubber pads (on the left and right sides of the soundbar) and no other area of the bottom of the soundbar is touching the surface.

Installation – Wall Mounted

Wall mounting instructions are on the following pages.

• Wall-mounted installation must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Incorrect assembly can result in severe personal injury and property damage! If you intend to install this product yourself, you must check for installations such as electrical wiring and plumbing, which may be hidden inside or behind the wall.
• It is the installer’s responsibility to verify and confirm that the wall will safely support the total load of the soundbar and wall brackets.
• Additional tools (not included) are required for the installation.
• Do not overtighten screws.
• If mounting on a wood stud wall, use an electronic stud finder to locate the center of the framing studs before drilling and mounting.

Wall Mounting Instructions

1. Fix the supplied wall-mounting brackets to the bracket fixing holes on the back of the soundbar with the supplied short screws.
   Affix the brackets as shown in the illustration (left).

2. Use a pencil to make 4 drill hole marks on the wall for the adaptors. Make sure the marks are level before drilling. Use a 6mm bit and a power drill (not supplied) to drill holes on the marks.
   Note: For a wood stud wall, use an electronic stud detector to locate the center of the framing studs before marking and drilling the holes.

3. Use the supplied screws and plastic anchors to fix the wall mount adaptors onto the drilled hole marks. Once fixed to the wall, hang the soundbar onto the wall mount adaptors.

Connect to Power

Make sure the power switch is switched off at the power outlet until you have finished connecting your cables.

Activate Bluetooth® on your compatible device, and set it to search for compatible devices.
Select ‘BAUHN ACSB-0422’ from the list of found devices.

selection list. To disconnect the existing paired device, press and hold the ****button on the remote for 3 seconds.
If your device asks for a passkey (depending on the device manufacturers, model, and software version), then enter the digits “0000” and press OK.

The operational range between this soundbar and a Bluetooth® device is approximately 10 meters (without any object between the Bluetooth® enabled device and the soundbar). Any obstacles between the devices can reduce the operational range.
Before you connect a Bluetooth® enabled device to this soundbar, ensure you know the device’s capabilities. Compatibility with all Bluetooth® devices is not guaranteed.
If the signal strength is weak, your Bluetooth® receiver may disconnect, but it will re-enter pairing mode automatically.
If a mobile phone on which you are playing music receives a call, the music will be interrupted. The phone call audio however is not played via the soundbar. Once you end the call, the devices are connected to each other again and playback resumes.
Your device will also be disconnected when your device is moved beyond the operational range. If you want to reconnect your device, place it within operational range.
