The system must be grounded
while in use to prevent electrical
shock. In the event of a
malfunction, this grounding will
provide a path of least resistance
for the electrical current.
Outdoors
Use only a GFCI protected outlet.
GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter. If you are unsure if your
outlet is GFCI protected, you should
consult with a professional
electrician.

Because the projector must be hard wired for audio, the
speaker mode must be set to “NO DISK”. THE PROJECTORS ARE
NOT BLUETOOTH.
The Speakers are Bluetooth compatible for other audio
applications. Set the speaker mode to Bluetooth and you will
find them listed as “Savi” to pair with your media device.
FM Radio may also be used on the speakers by selecting the
“RADIO” mode. You can scan to different channels by using
the buttons on the back of the speaker or remote control.
