Unpacking your Soundswitch
Check packaging for signs of damage before opening.
Do not use sharp objects during unpacking.
Check the parts received against the Pack Contents.
Read the product manual before use.

Charging your Soundswitch
Although your Soundswitch will have been charged before shipment it may require recharging before use.
Simply plug the power supply into a standard mains outlet, connect the USB lead to the power supply, connect the
USB lead to the charging pad and switch on the mains supply.
Now position the Soundswitch onto the charger.
When it is in the correct position you‟ll hear a “beep” and the charger LED on the Soundswitch will light up.
The charging LED on the charging pad will also have changed colour.
Getting Started
1. Switch on the unit – the switch is on the front of the unit – the LED‟s on the front of the unit flash.
2. Put the unit into „sound responsive‟ mode by press the red Mode Select button until the blue LED next to the
words „sound responsive‟ flashes.
3. Decide which IRiS Listeners you want to control and pair the unit to them – see „Pairing to IRiS Listeners‟
section.
4. Now it‟s ready to use, simply make a sound.
5. If the IRiS Listener changes colour without a sound being made, adjust the sensitivity.
6. For the unit to be fully operational it needs to be recharged every night.

Operating Instructions
The IRiS Soundswitch operates IRiS Listeners when triggered by a sound input. The operating modes are explained
below. The sensitivity of the Soundswitch is adjustable with the black dial on the front. Also on the front is a 3.5mm
jack socket which allows the Soundswitch to be used with an external microphone.
Switching Modes
The unit features 4 switching modes. To put the unit into a different mode simply press the Mode Select button once.
Each time the button is pressed the LED next to the current mode will illuminate.
Momentary – When a sound is detected, any IRiS Listener paired to the unit illuminates and begins changing colour
every 2 seconds. When no sound is detected the light extinguishes.
Locked – as above except that when no sound is heard the Listener stops changing colour put does not extinguish.
Scrolling - IRiS Listeners paired to the unit start slowly changing colour. When a sound is detected the IRiS Listen-
ers stop on the colour that is illuminated at that point. If you make a sound constantly the IRiS Listeners will continue
to stay on that colour. When a sound is not detected the IRiS Listeners will begin changing colour again. Basically if
you keep silent the IRiS Listeners paired to the IRiS Soundswitch will scroll through the colours but stop on a colour
when sound is detected.
Sound Responsive – Similar to a sound to light mode, an IRiS Listener will change colour whenever a sound is
heard.
Each time the unit detects a sound the LED next to the mode the unit is currently in will illuminate.
Pairing your Soundswitch with IRiS Listeners
To use your IRiS Soundswitch you will need to pair it to your IRiS Listeners
This procedure is split into 2 sections, one for those who do not have an IRiS Master Pairer and for those who do.
Without a IRiS Master Pairer
Every IRiS Listener has a button on it called a pairing button. To get the IRiS Soundswitch to work with a product,
first turn on the IRiS Soundswitch, put the unit into „sound responsive‟ mode then find the pairing button on the prod-
uct and press it. You then need to make a sound, activating the IRiS Soundswitch within 5 seconds. The IRiS Listen-
er will now change colour every time you make a sound if correctly paired.
With a IRiS Master Pairer
To get the IRiS Soundswitch to work with a product, first turn on the IRiS Soundswitch, put the unit into „sound re-
sponsive‟ mode then decide which unit you want to control and find its pairing button on the IRiS Master Pairer and
press it. You then need to make a sound, activating the IRiS Soundswitch within 5 seconds. The IRiS Listener will
now change colour every time you make a sound if correctly paired.
