BATTERY
If your Audio Assistant includes a battery backup (Li Pol 3.8 V / 650 mA), please be aware:

• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, can result in an explosion.
• Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type can defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of some lithium batteries).

Placement

• Place the Audio Assistant indoors at a temperature between 0-40 degrees °C.
• Place the device, so it is easily accessible to users.
• The Audio Assistant can either be mounted on the wall or placed flat on a table or shelf.

Mounting

WALL MOUNTING

1.  Mount the wall bracket on the wall using the 2 included screws. The Audio Assistant should be installed at a height of 1,5 m.
2. Plug one end of the power cable into the connector at the back of the device.
3. Place the device on top of the wall bracket and slide it down until it clicks.

TABLE PLACEMENT
Alternatively, the Audio Assistant can be placed on a table or shelf. In this case, the power cable can be placed in the cable canal leading out the top or bottom of the device.

Getting started

1. Insert the plug of the cable attached to the Audio Assistant into a power socket.
2. When the plug is connected, the Audio Assistant will start searching (up to 15 minutes) for a Zigbee network to join. While the Audio Assistant is searching for a Zigbee network to join, the LED at the bottom of the device flashes yellow.
3. Make sure that the Zigbee network is open for joining devices and will accept the Audio Assistant.
4. When the LED stops flashing yellow, the Audio Assistant has successfully joined the Zigbee network.
5. The LED will then flash blue while the Audio Assistant is connecting to the Bluetooth network. When the LED stops flashing blue, the Audio Assistant has successfully paired and connected to the Bluetooth network.
6. If the scanning has timed out, a short press on the menu button on the back of the device will restart it.

Resetting

Resetting is needed if you want to connect your Audio Assistant to another gateway or if you need to perform a factory reset to avoid abnormal behavior.
STEPS FOR RESETTING

1. Remove the device from the wall bracket.
2. Connect the device to a power outlet..
3. Press and hold the menu button on the back of the device with a thin pin – e.g. a paper clip.
4. While you are holding the button down, the LED at the bottom of the device first flashes once, then two times in a row, and finally numerous times in a row.
5. Release the button while the LED is flashing numerous times in a row.
6. After you release the button, the LED shows one long flash, and the reset is completed.

Modes

SEARCHING GATEWAY MODE

1. The LED at the bottom of the device flashes yellow until connected to the gateway.
2. Then, the same LED flashes blue until Bluetooth is connected to the gateway.

NORMAL OPERATION (MAINS POWERED)

• Idle: no light
• Customizable events & LED patterns on the front when pressing the different buttons

COMMUNICATION ERRORS
Communication errors can occur either between the Audio Assistant and the gateway, or between the gateway and the Alarm Receiving Center.
In case of a communication error, both the red and the yellow LED on the front of the device are blinking slowly at a low illumination level.

Fault finding and cleaning

• In case of a bad or wireless weak signal, change the location of the device. Otherwise you can relocate your gateway or strengthen the signal with a range extender.
• If the search for a gateway has timed out, a short press on the reset button will restart it.
