Important safety
instructions
1Read these instructions.
2Keep these instructions.
3Heed all warnings.
4Follow all instructions.
5Do not use this apparatus near water.
6Clean only with dry cloth.
7Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
15 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this device to rain, moisture, dripping, or
splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on it.
16 An apparatus with a three-prong,
grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus,
which needs to be grounded to prevent
possible electric shock. Make sure that you
connect any Class I device to a grounding-type,
three-prong outlet.
17 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The
plug must remain readily operable.
18 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
Placement
• The soundbar cabinet is made out of plastic and is
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and
humidity. Do not put it in locations subject to
direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an
air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the
soundbar. If liquid is spilled over the soundbar, it
may be damaged.
• The soundbar should be placed on a sturdy, flat
surface that is free from vibration, or mounted on
a wall. Do not put the soundbar on an uneven or
unstable surface, where it may fall and cause
damage.
Using close to a TV or computer
Some older TVs and computer monitors are
magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely
to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when
conventional speakers are placed nearby. If
discoloration problems persist, try moving the
soundbar away from your TV or monitor.
Warning
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

5When pairing is completed the Bluetooth
indicator on the top of your soundbar turns on.
Disconnecting your device:
• Turn off the Bluetooth function on your
device.
Reconnecting your device
If you move out of range or turn off the Bluetooth
feature on your Bluetooth device, the soundbar
disconnects from your device. When this happens,
the Bluetooth indicator blinks on and off.
To Restore the connection:
• Move the music device back into range (within 33
feet), and make sure there is a clear line of sight
and there are no obstructions between the
soundbar and the device.
The connection is automatically reestablished and
the Bluetooth indicator lights solid blue.
Connecting to a different device
1On your Bluetooth device you are currently
connected to, turn off the Bluetooth function or
unpair the soundbar in your Bluetooth device
list.
The soundbar can now be connected to another
Bluetooth Device.
2Follow the section “Bluetooth connection” to
connect a new device.
Receiving a phone call while playing music
• When a call is received while playing music
through a phone, the music will stop
automatically.
• When the call ends, depending on the setting
of your phone, the current track may resume
playback.
Positioning the soundbar
• You can set the soundbar on a flat surface.
-OR-
• You can mount the soundbar on a wall.
Notes
• Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect
immediately after pairing so the Bluetooth
indicator on your soundbar remains on. Other
devices, such as notebook computers, may ask
you if you wish to connect. In this instance, the
Bluetooth indicator continues to blink until a
connection is established.
• Your soundbar saves pairing information for up
to eight devices. However, it can only be
connected and playing content from one device
at a time.
• When you turn on your soundbar, it
automatically connects to the last connected
device if that device is in range. To connect to a
different paired device, you have to turn off
Bluetooth or unpair from the currently paired
device and manually connect to the other
paired device.
Notes
The auto-connect feature may not work with some
Bluetooth devices, if this occurs use your Bluetooth
device settings menu to manually select the
soundbar from the list of found Bluetooth devices.
Warning
Improper installation can result in serious injury or
damage to your soundbar. If necessary, seek the
assistance of a professional.
Cautions
If you are installing screws into drywall or concrete,
use wall anchors designed for that type of surface.
