Warnings provided below are aimed at informing you on the safe and
proper operation of the Kolibri system and its accessories, preventing mal-
functions of the Kolibri system and injuries to all people involved. Below are
some of the warnings that must be strictly followed when using the system.
POWER SOURCE/CHARGER
• Only use the Kolibri system charger. Use of unsuitable charger may cause fire, electric
shock, overheating or improper charging and damage to the Kolibri system.
• Do not expose the charger to rain, humidity or dust.
• Always use the voltage specified in the instruction manual and the information included in
the housing of the system.
• Never touch the plug or power supply cable with wet hands to avoid electric shock. When
disconnecting from the mains do not pull the cable by the flexible part, but only the plug.
This is the only way you can avoid causing a short-circuit and/or electric shock.
• Never bend, modify or otherwise damage the power cord and place it near heat sourc-
es, place heavy objects on it or place it where anyone could walk on, trip over or place
anything over it. Such handling may cause short-circuit, fire or electric shock and may
cause injuries to people in the vicinity. Cut or damaged power supply cable should be
immediately replaced.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet during storms.
• Do not connect the Kolibri system into electrical outlet via an electric distributor. This

DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
Electronic devices should be
disposed in accordance with the
Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) Directive and
be taken to local collection point
for waste electronic equipment!
Symbol of crossed-out wheelie bin means that waste devices and batteries
should not be disposed of with normal household waste as they contain sub-
stances dangerous to the environment and harmful to human health. After the
end of the service life of the device and the battery, take it to a collection point
at a store, distributor or a public utility company collection point.
Take a step towards green and visit website www.ozavescen.si where you will find
detailed information on recycling waste appliances, devices, batteries, car batter-
ies and other waste. Website provides a list of collection points and public utility
company collection points and information on reuse centres where you can take
functioning devices and apparatus.
CE marking is a conformity mark used exclusively by regulatory authorities, and
does not represent any warranty regarding product characteristics.
This device should not be
disposed as household
waste after the end of its
service life!

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
• Batteries in the speaker have a limited number of charge cycles
and eventually need to be replaced. The battery of the Kolibri
system (speaker) should never be replaced by the user. They
may only be replaced by an authorised servicing centre which
then disposes of the batteries in accordance with local regula-
tions and rules.
• Always make sure the AA batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity
markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire or battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with
old ones. Do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batter-
ies, or batteries from different manufacturers or different types of batteries from the
same manufacturer, as this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Do not place used batteries in a fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. This could cause an explosion.
• Keep the batteries out of reach of children.
• In case of battery liquid leakage, avoid any contact with the liquid. If the liquid comes
into contact with the eyes, mouth or skin, immediately rinse with water and seek medi-
cal help. Battery liquid is corrosive and may cause loss of vision or chemical burns.
• Used batteries should not be disposed as household waste! You should dispose them
at a collection point intended for used batteries.

• Choosing a suitable setting up place
Proper set-up depends on more factors, such as the number of listeners, position
of listeners, size of the room and accessibility of an electric outlet when you want to
connect the speaker to the mains (location of an outlet should be checked first).
If the space allows it, the system can be set-up among the audience, but only if the
speaker can be placed at least 2 meters in front of the audience and the speaker.

If you are using the wireless microphone, it is strongly advisable to check the
battery status. You can check the battery status by turning on the microphone
and checking the battery status on the display panel. The same applies to the
clip-on or headset microphone. It is always advisable to have at least two spare
batteries (type AA, 1.5 V).
USE OF THE KOLIBRI SYSTEM
1. First, find a suitable place to set up the speaker.
2. Place the case in a lying position considering the Kolibri inscription upwards, open both
clasps and lift the cover.
3. Mount the speaker on the stand.
4. Set the volume button (B) to 5.
5. Use Power ON button (A) to turn on the speaker device. You can do that by pressing
and holding the button (A) for 2 seconds. An orange LED encircling the button lights
up. A flashing orange LED indicates the battery is charged at less than 40%.
6. Turn on the wireless microphone (see chapter: Using wireless microphone) or connect
a wired microphone (outlet C, MIC/LINE input) or an external sound source (AUX-D
outlet).
7. Set the volume of the speaker on the control panel (button B) and make sure not to
cause microphonics! (Suggestion: when indoor, set the volume at VOLUME 5, and at
VOLUME 8 when outdoor).
OPERATING INSTRUCTION
BEFORE YOU USE THE KOLIBRI SYSTEM
Prior to each use, check whether the speaker’s batteries are charged. To do
that, turn on the Kolibri system, and if all green LEDs are lit, the battery is
fully charged. If only red LEDs are lit, we recommend you charge the speaker
device. Completely dead batteries need approximately 8 hours of charging to
be charged completely.

16 17
8. Then adjust the volume of external devices (telephone, iPod and other), until you reach
the ideal volume.
9. When you finish using the Kolibri system, first turn off the microphone or other connect-
ed devices.
10. Then turn off the speaker device by pressing and holding button (A) until the light goes
off.
11. Clear all accessories and put them in the case.
12. Fold the stand, put the speaker device in the case and store it in a dry place at room
temperature, in a lying position and considering the Kolibri inscription upwards.
CHARGING THE KOLIBRI SYSTEM
1. Make sure the Kolibri system is turned off (LED on the Power ON button and LED
indicator are not lit).
2. Plug the charger into electrical outlet (220 V).
3. Only then plug the cable in the outlet for charging the Kolibri speaker (E).
Charging: red LED on the charger indicates charging.
Charging complete: the battery is completely charged when the green LED on
the charger is lit.
CHARGE OF THE KOLIBRI SYSTEM DURING ITS USE
You can use the charger while using the speaker.
Unplug the charger from the outlet whenever you are not using it or
during storms.
If red LED (G) is lit during speaker operation, it is strongly advisable to
connect it to the charger as soon as possible! In this way, you can use the
speaker device and charge the battery at the same time.

18
CONNECTION TO A BLUETOOTH DEVICE
In order to use Bluetooth transfer, you need a Bluetooth device (mobile phone, lap-
top, MP3 player, etc.) which can stream Bluetooth stereo signal and is compliant
with the Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution profile (A2DP). Kolibri 360 enables
Bluetooth version 3.0.
Connection procedure
1. Turn on the Kolibri 360.
2. On your Bluetooth device, go to Bluetooth menu and activate the search. Name Ko-
libri 360 appears in search results.
3. By clicking on Kolibri 360, you will be prompted to enter a password, which is identical
to the Kolibri 360 serial number on the control panel.
4. The device confirms the connection.
CABLE CONNECTION OF EXTERNAL DEVICES
If you would like to connect an external sound source (e.g. MP3 player, mixing
desk) using a cable, use the cable for an external sound source.
Plug the cable in the outlet (C) and connect the MP3 player or other device.
Observe volume settings of the speaker and connected external device. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation of the connected device.
WARNING! If your Bluetooth device is a mobile phone, we strongly advise
you to set the phone in the so-called flight mode. This way, you can
prevent the disconnection in case of a phone call.
Connecting a Bluetooth device must be performed each time the sound
system is turned on.
