Trouble Shooting Guide

The purpose of this guide is to provide answers to frequently asked questions when using FS-BTWS582 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 Bond 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 a SKAA receiver. If a 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).

1. 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 for 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 Bond 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 trouble-shooting item.

2. 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.

3. What is the difference between Green Mode and Amber Mode and how do I use them?
   **** 1 Click| Green Mode – Rotate through your list of favourite transmitters (Green List) – when a favourite transmitter is found, the search stops and audio plays from that transmitter| (dim) = Hunting
   (flash) = Next one
   (bright) = Bonded
   ---|---|---
   2 Clicks| Amber Mode – Explore for new, unknown transmitters (ones which are not already on your Green list)| (dim) = Hunting
   (bright) = Bonded)

When you power on a 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 Bond Indicator (if the Bond 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 Bond 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 Bond 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.

4. 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.

Care and Maintenance

Your headset may require periodic cleaning.

• Wipe down your FS-BTWS582 after each use .
• Wipe the outside surfaces with a soft , dry cloth .
• Always store your FS-BTWS582 in the provided case.
• Avoid strong impacts to your FS-BTWS582.
• Don’t allow moisture to get inside the earcups or the audio input connector.
• Do not expose your FS-BTWS582 to temperature extremes.
• Never immerse FS-BTWS582 in water.

Please Note:

• Moisture in your FS-BTWS582 can cause temporary performance issues.
• Do not wear your FS-BTWS582 if your ears are wet . Always dry your ears completely before wearing your FS-BTWS582.
• Should you inadvertently allow water or perspiration into the FS-BTWS582 and they quit working , allow to dry completely before attempting to use again.
• Minor moisture build-up should dry out and not affect long-term performance. Extended exposure to moisture or submersion will result in permanent damage (not covered by the warranty).
• Please read this important information before using your FS-BTWS582.
• If everything sounds muffled or you hear ringing or buzzing after using your FS-BTWS582, your ears are trying to give you a warning!
• These are symptoms normally associated with a condition known as Temporary Threshold Shift and are an indication of conditions that could lead to permanent hearing loss.
• While no two individuals’ hearing sensitivity is exactly the same, there are established safety guidelines for sound levels versus time of exposure.
• The chart (see below) is based on OSHA’s (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) exposure information for industry. Remember that these guidelines are based on average hearing sensitivity. Your sensitivity may beabove or below these levels.
• The use of any FS-BTWS582 off ear benefits and risks. FS-BTWS582 can lower ambient sound levels approximately 25dB when properly worn. However, the performance capabilities of the FS- BTWS582 can allow the user to negate the benefits of hearing protection from ambient sound.

dB Level| MAXIMUM
Exposure Time| dB Level| MAXIMUM
Exposure Time| dB Level| MAXIMUM
Exposure Time
---|---|---|---|---|---
85| 8hr| 95| 2hr| 105| 30mins
90| 4hr| 100| lhr| 110| 15mins
