Installation - Free Standing
This soundbar can sit free-standing on a surface, or it can be mounted to a wall.

Installation - Wall Mounted
Wall mounted
Wall mounting instructions are on the following pages.
• Wall mounted installation must be carried out
by qualified personnel only. Incorrect assembly
can result in severe personal injury and property
damage! If you intend to install this product yourself,
you must check for installations such as electrical
wiring and plumbing, which may be hidden inside or
behind the wall.
• It is the installer’s responsibility to verify and confirm
that the wall will safely support the total load of the
soundbar and wall brackets.
• Additional tools (not included) are required for the
installation.
• Do not overtighten screws.
• If mounting on a wood stud wall, use an electronic
stud finder to locate the centre of the framing studs
before drilling and mounting.

8 | UNPACK AND PREPARE
Wall Mounting Instructions
Use a pencil to make drill hole marks on the wall
for the plastic anchors. Make sure the marks are
level before drilling. Use a 6mm bit and power
drill (not supplied) to drill holes on the marks.
Note: For a wood stud wall, use an electronic
stud detector to locate the centre of the framing
studs before marking and drilling the holes.

18 | BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth®
You can listen to tracks from a media device if connected
to the soundbar via Bluetooth®wireless technology.
The first time you use your Bluetooth®device with the
soundbar, you will need to pair them with one another.
Activate Bluetooth®on your compatible device, and set
it to search for compatible devices.
Select 'BAUHN AFSB-0920' from the list of found
devices.
Note: Only one playback unit can be connected to
the soundbar. If the soundbar is already connected to
another playback unit, the soundbar will not appear in
the Bluetooth®selection list. To disconnect the existing
paired device, press and hold the button on the
remote for 2 seconds.
If your device asks for a passkey (depending on the
device manufacturers, model and software version), then
enter the digits “0000” and press OK.
Pairing Bluetooth®Devices
The operational range between this soundbar and
a Bluetooth®device is approximately 10 metres
(without any object between the Bluetooth®enabled
device and the soundbar). Any obstacles between
the devices can reduce the operational range.
Before you connect a Bluetooth®enabled device
to this soundbar, ensure you know the device’s
capabilities. Compatibility with all Bluetooth®devices
is not guaranteed.
If the signal strength is weak, your Bluetooth®
receiver may disconnect, but it will re-enter pairing
mode automatically.
If a mobile phone on which you are playing music
receives a call, the music will be interrupted. The
phone call audio however is not played via the
soundbar. Once you end the call, the devices
are connected to each other again and playback
resumes.
Your device will also be disconnected when your
device is moved beyond the operational range. If
you want to reconnect your device, place it within
the operational range.
If the connection is lost, follow the instructions (left)
to pair your device to the soundbar again.
