operation. Please review the following safety instructions before use:
Li Ion Battery Safety Instructions:
Misuse can result in the batteries short-circuiting, the insulator melting and
damage to the safety valves or safety mechanisms, leading to leakage, heat
generation, or rupturing. Please observe the following precautions when using
batteries.
• Do not dispose in fire or expose to high temperature (140oF/60oC)
• Do not under any circumstances insert the batteries with the positive and
negative poles reversed.
• If the connection with the charger does not operate correctly, do not force the
battery in, but instead check the direction of the positive and negative poles.
• Do not charge with chargers not specified for this product
• Do not short the positive terminal and the negative terminal with metals
such as wire, coins, etc. Also, do not store or carry the batteries with metal
necklaces, etc.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Do not puncture the battery
• Do not directly solder the battery.
• Do not use the battery if it shows signs of leakage, a change of color or shape
or any other changes in appearance.
• Do not wet the battery or place it in water or sea water. This may lead to the
battery generating heat or rusting.
• Store the battery out of reach of small children.
• When not using the battery, or not using the device for a prolonged period,
remove the battery from the device and store it in a dry place between
the temperatures of -20oC and +35oC. This prevents decreased battery
performance and service life
• The battery (battery or batteries or battery pack) shall not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

AudioRockTM Overview
This wireless portable AudioRock is intended to install in
a few minutes and since it runs on batteries it increases
the flexibility of where these speakers can be used. The
system can use up to 8 wireless AudioRocks (when used
with a Klipsch Speakers LightSpeaker® transmitter) to
provide audio to your entire outdoor area. You can even
divide your outdoor spaces into unique areas where
different sources, and sound control allow you the
flexibility to easily configure and install an outdoor system
to be enjoyed by all.
Additionally, the system can be expanded by adding our
patented LightSpeakers®. These LightSpeakers install
in minutes and fit into 5” and 6” recessed ceiling cans
as well as table lamps, hanging lamps or anywhere you

find a standard Edison socket. They can provide “green”
lighting and outstanding sound throughout your home.
The LightSpeakers are available from your retailer or at
www.Klipsch.com.
The entire system provides even greater flexibility to you
as the owner; because you can take it with you if you
move. If you do need to remove it, it leaves no trace that
the system was ever installed or used.

Installation Considerations
Remember the outdoor line-of-sight range of the system
is up to 125 feet, so as long as the distance from the
transmitter to the farthest AudioRock, in any direction, is
less than 125 feet, the placement of the transmitter is up
to you.
Selecting AudioRockTM Locations
Your wireless AudioRock can be placed anywhere it is
convenient in your outdoor listening areas. You can
even space multiple AudioRocks so that no one speaker
is further than 35 feet from the other speaker. This will
provide for the best and most even coverage for you to
enjoy outstanding sound quality.

Setting Up Zones
If you have more than one AudioRock and you want to
set up separate listening zones in your outdoor area, you
have the option of setting up a second zone. An audio
zone is any area or group of areas where you want the
same audio source playing and want the volume of the
speakers to be about the same. If you want an area to
have different volume level or play a different set of music
then use the two zone option. Please note that there is no
right or wrong way to do this, it is simply how you think you
want to use your AudioRock system. If you try an option
and don’t like it, it is easy to change and try another one.
NOTE: You have some control over an area being on or
off by using the power switch that is on the rear of the
AudioRock. Simply turn it off and there will not be any
sound in that area.
