POWER SUPPLY, CHARGING THE ACCUMULATOR
The battery must be charged before first use. Connect the supplied microUSB
connection cable to the socket under the rubber cover and the other end to a
USB adapter, mobile charger, computer or other device with a USB socket.
Leave the loudspeaker switched off. During charging – next to the volume
control – a small red LED lights up, which goes out after full charging. Then
unplug the power cord and use the device. When the battery is completely
discharged, the charging time is approximately 9 hours. This provides approx.
30 hours of operation from the internal battery at medium volume. This also
depends on the volume set, the mode selected and the ambient temperature. The
test was performed by listening to the radio at room temperature. It can also
be charged during use, but this increases charging time and can cause
additional noise. The test was performed by listening to the radio at room
temperature. It can also be charged during use, but this increases charging
time and can cause additional noise. „LO” appearing on the display and the
”Low battery, please charge” announcement warns to charge. This is also
indicated by the declining volume and poorer sound quality.\

INSTALLATION
Make all connections (AUX, MIC) when the device is switched off and the
external devices to be connected must also be switched off. Make sure that the
connections and polarity of the connectors are correct. Keep the microphone
cable and audio connection cable away from the power cords.
Turn on with the rotary knob on the right, then increase the volume slightly.

- The various functions are indicated by an English voice announcement.
- When used outdoors or in a dusty, humid place indoors, keep the rubber cover carefully closed.
THE MAXIMUM VOLUME
Every speaker must be eased into working before proper usage. In the first 30-50 operation hours it should only run at 50% capacity! At higher volume levels – in some cases – there may be distorted, low-quality sound. This can be caused by the too large input signal. To avoid this, reduce the signal level of the particular external equipment or if necessary the main volume (VOLUME). The system’s maximum volume is that which can still be heard without distortions.
- By further increasing the volume, there is no increase in output power, or even the distortion of the system increases! This is harmful to the loudspeaker and may cause malfunction!
- When connecting a microphone, place it as far away from the speaker box as possible to prevent excitation. Do not point the speaker at the microphone, as excitation may damage the speaker. When using a microphone, carefully increase the volume, and if you experience excitation, immediately rewind the control and, if necessary, move the speaker to another position.
WIRELESS BT CONNECTION
The device can be paired to other devices with BT protocol within a range of
up to 10 meters. After that, you can listen to music played on mobile phone,
tablet, notebook and other similar devices hands-free. Select BT function with
the MODE button. Search for the speakers nearby including this speaker, the
way it’s written in the instruction manual of the device to be paired. Connect
the two devices together. After successful connection, the BT indicator
flashing until then can be read continuously on the display. Thereafter, the
desired program can be heard from the speaker in good quality. The player
device (e.g. the mobile phone) can usually be remotely controlled by pressing
briefly the / / buttons.
