ESD PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components
commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated
circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. The following techniques should
be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off
any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a
commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons
prior to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface
such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ESD devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can
generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD
devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective package until immediately before you are
ready to install it. (Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by
conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive materials).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the
protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will by installed.
CAUTION : BE SURE NO POWER IS APPLIED TO THE CHASSIS OR CIRCUIT, AND OBSERVE ALL OTHER
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handing unpackaged replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion
such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate
static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD device).
CAUTION. GRAPHIC SYMBOLS
THE LIGHTNING FLASH WITH APROWHEAD SYMBOL. WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE, IS
INTENDED TO ALERT THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TO THE PRESENCE OF UNINSULATED
“DANGEROUS VOLTAGE” THAT MAY BE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE
SERVICE PERSONNEL TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION IN SERVICE
LITERATURE.

Attempting to make connection.
Green The connection is completed.
Red
The wireless subwoofer
is in standby mode
or the connection is failed.
Off
(No display)
The power cord of wireless
subwoofer is disconnected.
Setting up the wireless subwoofer
for the first time
1. Connect the power cord to the subwoofer and plug
the power cord into a power outlet.
2. Turn on the main unit : The sound bar and wireless
subwoofer will be automatically connected.
- Green LED on the rear of wireless subwoofer
turns on.
Manually pairing wireless subwoofer
When your connection is not completed, you can
check red LED on the wireless subwoofer and the
wireless subwoofer does not make sound. To solve
the problem, follow the steps below.
1. Press Pairing button on the rear of the wireless
subwoofer.
- The green LED on the rear of the wireless
subwoofer blinks quickly.
2. Turn on the main unit.
3. Pairing is completed.
- The green LED on the rear of the wireless
subwoofer turns on.
Note
:
•It takes a few seconds (and may take longer) for the
main unit and the subwoofer to communicate with
each other and make sounds.
•The closer the main unit and the subwoofer, the
better sound quality. It is recommended to install the
main unit and the subwoofer as close as possible
and avoid the cases below.
- There is a obstacle between the main unit and the
subwoofer.
- There is a device using same frequency with this
wireless connection such as a medical equipment,
a microwave or a wireless LAN device.
- Keep the sound bar and the subwoofer away from
the device (ex. wireless router, microwave oven,
etc.) over 1m (3.28 ft) to prevent wireless
interference.
