Connecting the wireless module
1Insert the plug of the supplied audio cinch cable into the »R Line In L« sockets of the
wireless module.
2Insert the plug of the supplied audio cinch cable into the corresponding output sockets
(R AUDIO OUT L) of the hi-fi system.
3Insert the cable of the mains adapter into the »DC 9 V Ó« socket of the wireless
module.
4Plug the mains adapter into the mains socket.
Caution:
The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to unplug the adapter.
Note:
If your hi-fi system does not have R AUDIO OUT L outputs, you can also connect the
wireless module to the stereo headphones output of the hi-fi using a standard adapter
cable.
Preparing the loudspeaker
Battery operation
1Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the device by unscrewing the two screws
and removing the lid.
2Insert eight batteries (8 x 1.5 V, LR 20/AM 1/D size), observing the polarity marked on
the base of the battery compartment.
Notes:
Remove the batteries when they are flat or when you know that the device will not be
used for a long period of time.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from leaking batteries.
The batteries are switched off during mains operation.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, should not be disposed of with
household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally responsible
manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.
Mains operation
1Insert the cable of the mains adapter in the »DC 9 V Ó« socket of the loudspeaker
(bottom of the device).
2Plug the mains adapter into the mains socket.
Caution:
The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to unplug the mains
adapter.
CONNECTION AND PREPARATION ___________

16
General information
The PSW 5000 system works with a wireless audio receiver integrated in the outdoor loud-
speaker, which enables the reception of the wireless audio signals from the wireless module.
Loudspeaker connection cables are no longer necessary.
The wireless audio transmission range is limited by national and international regulations to
prevent radio interference from neighbouring devices. The wireless audio transmission power
is <10 mW. This guarantees an unhindered reception range of approximately 100 m. This
range is restricted inside buildings, depending on the construction materials used.
Avoid placing the system near metal objects or electrical devices such as cordless telephones
which use radio signals.
Since the audio signals are not transmitted on an exclusive range we cannot guarantee that
this will not cause interference. To avoid interference you can choose between 3 transmission
channels.
In some circumstances, people, walls and other surfaces can reflect radio signals. Reflected
signals can mix with non-reflected signals, thus causing a type of interference known as multi-
path reception. This can lead to noise or a temporary loss of sound. If such interference does
occur, simply position the transmitter or the loudspeaker differently.
Switching on the system
1Switch on the hi-fi system.
Note:
If the audio outputs of your hi-fi system have an adjustable output level, you can adjust
the volume on the hi-fi system. If the audio output levels are fixed, you have to adjust the
volume on the loudspeaker.
2Set the transmission channel (1, 2 or 3) with »Channel 3 2 1 Off« on the wireless
module.
– The operating display of the wireless module (front of the device) lights up.
3Switch on the loudspeaker with »ON/OFF Ǽ«.
– The operating display of the loudspeaker lights up.
4On the loudspeaker, set the same transmission channel (1, 2 or 3) as set on the wireless
module using »Channel 1 2 3« (bottom of the device).
5If necessary, set the required volume on the loudspeaker with »– z+«.
Note:
If signal interference occurs during operation, select another transmission channel which
corresponds on both the wireless module and the loudspeaker.
OPERATION ____________________________________________________

Connecting external audio sources
You can relay the sound of an external audio source (e.g. digital music player) to the loud-
speaker via a standard audio cable.
1Plug the audio cable into the »MP3/AUX IN« socket.
2Plug the audio cable in the corresponding output socket of the external audio source.
Notes:
The loudspeaker must be switched off before connection.
As soon as the connection has been made, the loudspeaker automatically switches to the
external audio source. Signals from the wireless module can no longer be received.
Boosting bass sounds
1To activate the bass boost, press »UBS« on the loudspeaker.
– The LED for bass boost glows.
2To deactivate bass boosting, press »UBS« again.
– The LED for bass boost stops glowing.
Switching the loudspeaker lighting on and off
There are two lamps in the area of the woofer reflector.
1Press »LIGHT« to switch the lighting on and off.
Switching off the system
1Switch off the loudspeaker with »ON/OFF Ǽ«.
– The operating display of the loudspeaker stops glowing.
2On the wireless module, set the »Channel 3 2 1 Off« switch to »Off«.
– The operating display of the wireless module (front of the device) stops glowing.
3Switch off the hi-fi system.

Troubleshooting
In some circumstances, people, walls and other surfaces can reflect radio signals. This can
lead to noise or a temporary loss of sound. When such a problem occurs, it usually suffices
to reposition the loudspeaker or select a different channel combination on the wireless mod-
ule and the loudspeaker.
If the remedies below are not successful, please consult your specialist dealer.
