Introduction

Using your FS-WSLR1 as an SKAA receiver

The FS-WSLR1 can be used as an SKAA receiver when in SKAA mode. An SKAA receiver receives wireless audio from any SKAA transmitter. For a complete list of SKAA transmitters visit https://shop.atlantictechnology.com/product /FS-WSLR1

Ensure your SKAA transmitter is powered, and that your host device is playing audio. For example, if you are using a smartphone, make sure that your SKAA transmitter is plugged into your smartphone and that music is playing.

The SKAA Indicator LED will illuminate once you have entered SKAA mode.
When in SKAA mode, your FS-WLSR1 should automatically begin playing the audio received over SKAA through the speakers you have connected.

Using your FS – WSLR1 as an SKAA receiver

Essentials

Hold
a few seconds| Add / Delete Manually add / delete the current
transmitter to/from your Green List|
–| Auto Add SKAA will automatically add the
current Amber transmitter to your Green Ust If
you listen to it for 30 minutes|
1 Click| Green Mode Rotate through your list of favorite transmitters (Green List) – when a favorite transmitter is  found, the search stops and audio plays from that transmitter|
2 Clicks| Amber Mode Explore for new, unknown
transmitters (ones that are not already on your Green List)|

Other Commands

1. Power off all transmitters and receivers
2. Power on the Master receiver while holding down Its Bond Button-hold the button down until the Indicator begins to flash Red
3. With the remaining receivers within 3 meters of the  Master receiver, power on the first one, wait for its Indicator  to flash Red and then power on the second one; continue  until all of them are powered on
4. Once all of the Indicators stop flashing (turn solid Red), power off all of the receivers|

Using the Line in Analog Audio Input

1. Set the toggle switch to “L” for the left speaker.
2. Set the toggle switch to “R” for the right speaker.
3. Connect the audio source with the speaker using the attached audio cable.
4. The speaker box will automatically switch into the LINE IN mode when the audio cable is plugged in.

**If you find that the setting of the left and right speakers is different from the actual ones, you can do the following steps to correct it.

a. Set the toggle switch to “L” for the left speaker. Or set the toggle switch to “R” for the right speaker.
b. Power off.
c. Power on.
d. 6 clicks the bond button.

Using Several FS-WSLR1 Units Together in an SKAA Network

Up to four FS-WSLR1 can be formed into a cluster, for example:

1. 1 Cluster of 1 Master speaker and 3 Slave speakers
2. 1 Cluster of 1 Master speaker and 2 Slave speakers
3. 1 Cluster of 1 Master speaker and 1 Slave speaker

Take one of FS-WSLR1 as the master speaker, and the other as the slave speaker. The setting method is as followings:

Long press the SKAA Bond Button on the master speaker and power it on. The indicator light starts flashing waiting for pairing. Power on the slave speaker and the SKAA  indicators of the slave speaker starts flashing. When the SKAA indicator on all powered units stops flashing it indicates a successful Cluster has been made.
One SKAA Transmitter can serve up to four clusters.
As shown below:

Using FS-WSLSR1 for a home theater system

Two FS-WSLSR1 speakers can be used as wireless surround speakers when we connect them with the Gatecrasher 3 and FS-S8/FS-S65 to be a 5 .1 home theater system. As shown below.

SKAA cmd is an optional App available for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Mac, and PC. You can find it on our website www.skaa.com/tlc/ or in the iOS App Store and Google  Play. SKAA cmd is great for getting the most out of your FS­ WSLR1. To use SKAA cmd, throw your FS-WSLR1 into SKAA mode, download the app, insert an SKAA  transmitter and check out all of the customizable features of SKAA. SKAA cmd only works with five specific SKAA transmitters:
Izabella, Diz, Ursula, Gemma, and Cassandra. The FS-WSLR1 will not work with SKAA cmd unless you are using one of the supported transmitters.

Wall Mount Bracket Assembly

1. Place the bracket against the back of the FS-WSLR1 sideways as shown in figure 1.
2. Rotate 90 degrees clockwise to the upright position. The bracket will not be able to rotate past 90 degrees. See figures 2, 3, and 4.
3. The bracket can slide along the channel in the FS-WSLR1 to allow proper placement with wall studs. Locate the bracket in the appropriate position for your installation.
4. Screw in the bracket, in two places as shown in figure 4.
5. Hang the FS-WSLR1 from the top slot shown in figure 5.

Please source a wall anchor that is appropriate for your wall construction.

The purpose of this guide is to provide answers to frequently asked questions when using FS­ WSLR1 products for the first time.

Note: SKAA provides a very simple, one-button, one-LED, interface. These two components are called and will be referred to as, the Bond Button and the SKAA Indicator.

At any time, when interacting with SKAA, the user may locate the Bond Button and rapidly click it six times to reset SKAA to its factory settings. In some cases, it can prove useful to factory-reset an SKAA receiver. If an SKAA transmitter is available and transmitting audio, the factory reset automatically Bonds to the transmitter and resets the volume.

Bond Button Icon

Before proceeding with reading the following frequently asked questions and answers, please make sure that your SKAA devices are powered, in SKAA-mode (if applicable) and in range of one another (20 m).

When I power on my SKAA speaker, the Indicator is dim green and when I play audio from my SKAA transmitter, no sound comes from the speaker.

Most likely your SKAA speaker is hunting for one of your favorite transmitters. Simply press the Bond Button once, in order to switch to another favorite transmitter. If no other favorite transmitters are saved on the Green List, pressing the Bond Button once will not have an effect.
In this case, double-click the Bond Button in order to put the speaker into Amber Mode. Amber Mode will explore new, unknown transmitters in the area that are currently playing audio. If the issue persists, you can always factory reset the SKAA receiver by six-clicking the Bond Button. The SKAA Indicator will flicker red for one second and the speaker will return to Amber Mode. If six-clicking the Bond Button has no effect, see the next troubleshooting item.

When I power on my SKAA speaker and attempt to play audio from a SKAA transmitter, I hear no sound, the Indicator is dim green and no matter how many times I click the Bond button, nothing changes.

In this case, your SKAA speaker is a Slave speaker in a Cluster of speakers. This means that this speaker was probably sold with at least one other speaker, and one of these other speakers is the Master speaker. The Master speaker is responsible for controlling all Slave speakers. A Slave speaker will always follow the Master speaker. Some Slave speakers still contain a Bond Button in order to mute the speaker (this can be accomplished by triple- clicking the Bond Button). Any SKAA speaker with a Bond Button on it can be a stand-alone speaker, however, it will have to be “unclustered” See the SKAA Receiver User’s Guide for the unclustering procedure.

What is the difference between Green Mode and Amber Mode and how do I use them?

When you power on an SKAA speaker for the first time, it will be in Amber Mode. You can identify a speaker in Amber Mode by the behavior of its SKAA Indicator (if the  SKAA Indicator is amber, the speaker is in Amber Mode). When in Amber Mode, the speaker will explore for new, unknown transmitters in the area that are currently playing audio. Once found, it will Bond to that transmitter, the SKAA Indicator will switch from dim amber to bright amber and the speaker will start playing audio. The speaker is now  Bonded and in Amber Mode. Green Mode can be achieved after an SKAA speaker is Bonded and in Amber mode. Once a speaker is Bonded and in Amber Mode, simply hold down the Bond Button for three seconds. The SKAA Indicator will switch from bright amber to bright green. Now, the next time you power down your SKAA speaker(s)  and transmitter(s) and power them back on again, the SKAA speaker(s) will be waiting for the transmitter on the Green List. When the transmitter becomes available, it will
automatically Bond to it. SKAA speakers can store up to ten transmitters on a Green List. To cycle through transmitters on a Green List, simply click the Bond Button once to
cycle to the next transmitter on the Green List.

How do I know which SKAA compatible receivers work with each other?
All devices running SKAA OS 2.1 and newer are designed to work together seamlessly.
If you suspect that your SKAA transmitter or receiver is running firmware older than SKAA OS 2.1, contact us via support@skaa.com and we will help you.
