If the base station is not playing audio, either from
the dock for iPod or the Auxiliary input, then both
the base station and wireless speakers will go into
Standby mode. Once you begin playing audio from
the base station, both the base station and wireless
speaker will come out of Standby mode.
Oncethebasestationispairedwithawireless
speaker,thewirelessspeakercanbemoved
approximately200ft(line-of-sight)or90ft
(indoors)andstillreceiveaudiofromthebase
station.
Results will vary depending on the number and
size of obstructions between the base station and
the wireless speaker.
The two wireless speakers included in the same
box as the base station are pre-paired with that
base station. Any additional speakers will need to
be paired by following the directions below.
When pairing the base station with a wireless
speaker you will need to press the Pair button
on the base station and wireless speaker
simultaneously. Because of this, you will need to
have both the base station and wireless speaker
within reach when you pair them.
1. Plugthebasestationintoapowersource,
andpressthePowerbuttontopowerthebase
station on.
The base station LinkIndicator will ash when
the base station is powered on.
2. Plugthewirelessspeakerintoapowersource
orinsert6Dbatteries,notincluded,andpress
the Powerbuttontopowerthewirelessspeaker
on.
The wireless speaker LinkIndicator will ash

3. AdjusttheVolume on the wireless speaker to
approximatelythehalf-waypointbetweenmin.
andmaxvolume.
4. SimultaneouslypressandholdthePairbutton
onthebasestationandthePairbuttononthe
wirelessspeakerfor5seconds.
5. Thewirelessspeakerwillemitalongbeep
whenitispairedwiththebasestation.
If the wireless speaker emits short repeating
beeps, it was not able to pair with the base
station. Repeat steps 1-4 until you hear the
long beep.
Afterpairing,thewirelessspeakermaytakeupto
30secondstobeginplayingaudiofromthepaired
basestation.
Repeatsteps1-4foreachadditionalwireless
speakeryouwanttopairwiththebasestation.
What does it mean to Pair?
Pairingthebasestationwithawireless
speakerallowsthebasestationtorecognize
thatwirelessspeaker.Oncepaired,thebase
stationwillrememberthatwirelessspeakerand
transmitaudiothroughit.
How many speakers can I pair to
one base station?
Upto20wirelessspeakerscanbepairedwith
onebasestation.Additionalspeakersaresold
