A0318 can be used as primary system inputs feeding the main hub or as
local input modules in each room to override the primary audio source.
Local input modules should be installed in the CAT5 line between the P-
2014 and the A0125. Multiple input modules can be installed in one CAT5
run. If audio is present at more than one input module the unit closest to
A0125 will take priority and be played through the speakers.
In this configuration, either the satellite
radio tuner or the A0318 connected to the
System Input of the P-2014 can act as the
main system input. If audio is present from
both sources, then the Priority switch will
determine which source is heard. In this
example the switch is set to give the A0318
priority.

Connection Tips and Troubleshooting
Problem: Not linking with Bluetooth device or Linking with Bluetooth device, but no audio plays.
Troubleshooting:
1. Restart Bluetooth Dock
2. Restart Bluetooth Device
3. Make sure Bluetooth device is in play mode
Warning: Do not adjust the volume all the way up if no audio is present. Doing so could
damage your speakers if audio reconnects.
Problem:
Troubleshooting: Verify you have connected the CAT5 cable correctly. Follow the TIA-568A
standard at both ends. Mis-wiring can cause distorted sound, prevent the system from
functioning, or possibly cause damage to the components in the system. Verify you have
connected the speakers in phase. Follow the label on the product. Out of phase speakers can
rob the system of its bass, especially when driving dual-voice-coil speakers.
If no audio is heard, check to make sure that the audio source is playing, then press the power
button on the keypad to make sure it is turned on.
Audio quality issues
Problem: Hum in System
Troubleshooting: Plug all parts of the system into the same outlet to see if the hum goes away.
Try lifting the ground with a ground lifting plug.
Possible Cause: The different components in the system are connected to different electrical
grounds. This forces electrical currents to find alternate paths to ground causing an audible 60Hz
hum.
Solution: Plug products into an electrical circuit with a common ground.
Additional Tips:
1. The A0318 is designed to charge a Micro-USB device.
The device screen should indicate that it is being charged. If this does not occur, make sure
the power is reaching the volume control keypad (press the volume buttons to see if the LED
indicators light up).
2. Observe wiring distance specifications. The maximum recommended wire length
between the wall dock and CAT5 audio hub is 250 feet. Although the A0318 may work at
greater distances, extreme distances are not recommended because erratic performance
may result due to the power loss caused by the CAT5 wire.
3. If you are experiencing problems with your Micro-USB device that occur even when it is
not docked in the A0318, then please contact the manufacturer of your device.
NOTE: Maximum charging voltage is 5vDC 500mA. Do not plug in a device such as
a tablet computer to this dock. Doing so may cause damage to either device and will
void the warranty.

Bluetooth Functionality
Pairing:
A. Turn Bluetooth on in the pairing device, and scan for Bluetooth devices.
B. To pair with the dock, click on “Android Dock-XXXX” (where XXXX is the last 4
digits of the MAC address) in the Bluetooth device scan list.
C. The pairing device will request a PIN code. The default code is 1234.
D. Enter the PIN code.
E. Your device will pair with the dock.
G. Turn on music to begin streaming.
Disconnecting The Dock:
A. To disconnect the paired dock from your device, disconnect the Bluetooth
connection from the Bluetooth menu of the device.
Connecting The Dock To Another Device:
A. Disconnect the paired dock from your device from the Bluetooth menu of the
device.
B. Turn on Bluetooth on the pairing device, and scan for Bluetooth devices
C. Click on Android Dock-XXXX” (where XXXX is the last 4 digits of the MAC
address) in the Bluetooth device scan list.
D. The pairing device will request a PIN code.
E. Enter the PIN code. The default code is 1234.
F. Pairing success.
G. Turn on music to begin streaming.
