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 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 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.
Trouble Shooting Guide
The purpose of this guide is to provide answers to frequently asked questions when using STA200
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.

Trouble Shooting Guide
3.What is the difference between Green Mode and Amber Mode and how do I use
them?
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 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.
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. These
three lines should be single spaced, not double spaced.
