Note: Ensure that your device has internet access via your service provider or wireless connection. You can also download the app on your computer, but remember to connect  and sync your device to transfer the app.
Follow these steps to download the free app on your device:

  1. Open the Apple App Store or Google Play on your device .
  2. Search for the ION Sound XP app.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the app.
  4. Once downloaded, the ION Sound XP app will appear on your device’s home screen.

Automatic Power Shut-Off

Total PA Glow 3 is equipped with an automatic power shut-off to save energy in compliance with the energy efficiency regulations for compact audio products. Total PA Glow  3 will enter an energy-saving mode after 20 minutes unless an audio signal at a moderate level is detected from the XLR Input, the Aux Input, the USB/SD media player, the  Radio, or a Bluetooth connection. In energy-saving mode, the display and lights will turn off and audio playback will be disabled, but the unit will remain powered on in standby.
To resume normal operation, simply turn a knob or press a button on the unit or remote control.
To prevent automatic shut-off, an audio signal should remain active at a moderate volume level from the XLR Input, the Aux Input, the USB/SD media player, the Radio, or a  Bluetooth connection. We recommend setting audio source (i.e., Aux Input or Bluetooth) volume at max and the Master Volume to 5 or higher to prevent shut-off. To prevent automatic shut-off when using the microphone by itself, connect to the XLR Input, set the Aux Input Volume to max, and then adjust the Master Volume until the microphone is heard.

Pairing a Bluetooth Device

  1. Turn on your Bluetooth device.

  2. Power on Total PA Supreme.

  3. Use the Mode button to select Bluetooth as the audio source, which appears as “bt” in the display. Total PA Supreme will automatically go into pairing mode to search for  Bluetooth devices. You will know you are in pairing mode when the Bluetooth icon is flashing. In addition, automatic voice prompts from the speaker will alert you of the device’s status: Bluetooth Pairing, Bluetooth Connected, or Bluetooth Disconnected.

  4. Navigate to your Bluetooth device’s setup screen, find Total PA Supreme, and connect. The Bluetooth icon will remain solidly lit.
    Note: Users should consider updating their device’s OS if experiencing trouble with pairing or playing music.

  5. To disconnect pairing, turn off Bluetooth on your device or select Forget this device on your Bluetooth device’s setup screen. If you would like to disable (or enable) the voice prompts, press and hold the Play/Pause button on the Media Panel.
    Note: Bluetooth must be selected as the audio source in order to disable (or enable) the voice prompts.

Disposal of Batteries (if applicable):

  • Never dispose of any types of batteries in fire or near excessive heat or direct sunlight. Overheated batteries can rupture or explode.
  • If you are unsure of how or where to dispose of a battery, refer to your local ordinances for the proper location, method, etc.
  • Alkaline batteries & lithium button cell batteries: You can safely dispose of alkaline and lithium button cell batteries with normal household waste. They do not pose a health or environmental risk during normal use or disposal. (Alkaline batteries are composed primarily of common metals like steel, zinc, and manganese.)

Do not dispose of large amounts of alkaline or lithium button cell batteries in a group. Used batteries are often not completely “dead.” Grouping them together can bring these  “live” batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks. To avoid this, insulate each battery with tape or other nonconductive material to ensure it does not discharge.  Proven cost-effective and environmentally safe recycling processes are not yet universally available for alkaline and lithium button cell batteries. Some communities offer recycling or collection of these batteries. For more information, refer to your local ordinances or contact your local government.

  • Lead-acid batteries: Dispose of lead-acid batteries by bringing them to an electronic waste center or recycling center, or dispose of them in accordance with your local ordinances. (Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles and should be disposed of in a similar fashion.)

This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada’s license- exempt RSS(s).  Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Service Instructions

  • Disconnect power cord before servicing.
  • Replace critical componentsWarning-icon.png only with factory parts or recommended equivalents.
