Grain Audio PWS.01 User manual

HEY THERE!
Congratulations on your purchase of your GRAIN AUDIO

There are a few things you should know about the PWS. First,
your PWS is a rechargeable battery powered speaker, so use it
until it runs out, then charge it and start all over again. Second,
there is no storage on the PWS, you must have access to your
digital music libary through your phone, tablet or computer,
just pair it and play it. Third, the PWS is made of solid wood,
don’t get it wet.
Finally, the functions phases of the PWS are controlled through
and communitcated by the three buttons on the top of the unit.
Take a look at the graphic on the right hand side of the page for
a breakdown.
Now go out, have fun and Play Loud.

will automatically pair to your Bluetooth

PWS fully charged.
2. While the PWS power is off place your
Bluetooth

enabled
device within 3 feet of the unit.
3. Press and hold the power button. The PWS will play
its “power up” tone which will be followed by the
announcement, “pairing mode on” after about 5 seconds.
The power button will also indicate pairing mode by flashing
blue.

achieve the right level for your use.

1-Keep things dry. Wood (and electronics by the way) don’t like
being wet or submerged in liquid… steam saunas aren’t great
places for them either. Please keep this in mind.
2-Take care. The wood housing of your Grain Audio product will
take some bumps and bruises. Unlike harder plastics these scrapes
may show but that’s okay; these will not affect the sound quality of
your product. Plus, it’ll make you look cool.
3-Shade. Wood will change color over time. This is a result of the
natural interaction between the wood, oxygen and sunlight. We’re
pretty sure you can’t control the oxygen content in the air around
your Grain Audio product but you can keep it out of prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight. No sunscreen though, that would be
bad.
4-Finish. The wood in your Grain Audio product is protected by a
durable water resistant finish. It is designed to last the life of the
product and should not need refinishing. However, an occasional
cleaning with a soft cloth will help keep things pretty.
CARE AND FEEDING
This is a real, solid wood product. Wood is a great material
for making audio products, its resonant qualities cannot be
matched by man-made plastics or composites. Wood is also a
beautiful material, and the natural color and grain variations
inherent to the wood are part of this beauty.
Being made from a natural material there are a few
precautions to take when using your Grain Audio product...
