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
unit and wall brackets.
• Additional tools (not included) are required for the
installation.
• Do not overtighten screws.
• Use an electronic stud finder to check the wall type
before drilling and mounting.

8 | UNPACK AND PREPARE
Wall mounting instructions
Fix the supplied wall-mounting
brackets (marked with "s") to the
bracket fixing holes on the back
of the soundbar with the supplied
short screws. Affix the brackets as
shown in the illustration (left).
Use a pencil to make drill hole marks on the
wall for the anchors. Make sure the marks are
level before drilling. Use a 6mm bit and power
drill (not supplied) to drill holes on the marks.

18 | BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth®
You can listen to tracks from a media device if connected
to the unit 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 the speaker name: 'BAUHN ASBEB-0919' from
the list of found devices.
Note: Only one playback unit can be connected to
the speaker. If the speaker is already connected to
another playback unit, the speaker will not appear in
the Bluetooth selection list. To disconnect the existing
paired device, press and hold the button on the
remote for 3 seconds.
If your device asks for a passkey (depending on the
device manufacturers, model, and software version),
then enter digits “0000” and press OK.
Pairing Bluetooth®Devices
The operational range between this player and
a Bluetooth®device is approximately 10 metres
(without any object between the Bluetooth enabled
device and the unit). Any obstacle between the
devices can reduce the operational range.
Before you connect a Bluetooth®enabled device to
this unit, 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 speaker. 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 player again.
