INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE UNIT
Press and hold the power button for 3-5 Seconds to turn the unit on.
Next, select what source you want to listen to, either Bluetooth or Auxiliary input.
Pairing with Bluetooth is easy, rst press the source button on the unit until you see the
source indicator light ash blue, next turn on your blue tooth device and search for RC99500,
then select it. That’s it! You are now paired with the unit.
NOTICE: You can only pair one device to the unit at a time. If the unit is not blinking (indi-
cating that it’s in pairing mode) make sure that it’s not connected to another device. If you are
connected and want to pair another device, rst you must go to the settings in your Bluetooth
device and turn it off allowing the soundbar to automatically search for new devices.
Once the soundbar is powered up, it can be controlled using either the control pad on the unit, or
the included RF wireless remote control. Please note – power On and Off must be completed on
the control pad, but all other functions of the control pad are duplicated on the wireless remote.
The range for the wireless remote is approximately 12 feet, and is affected by factors such as
proximity to wi or other strong radio signals. Metal will also shield the radio frequency and will
limit the usable range of the remote.
Included is a bracket to easily attach the wireless remote to a steering wheel or any other round
bar. Stretch the rubber cords around the steering wheel tightly to attach the bracket, then simply
slide the remote control onto the bracket.
If the remote stops working the most likely cause is a dead battery. The remote is powered by one
CR2032 3v lithium battery that is available wherever batteries are sold and is easily accessible
by removing the 4 screws on the back of the remote housing. Before removing the screws, the
rubber screw covers need to be removed. The battery slides into the battery compartment with
the positive (+) side facing up. It is important to replace the rubber screw covers after reassembly
to make sure the remote control is watertight.
Some unique features on the Rough Country Premium Soundbar when playing your Blue-
tooth device, you can use the buttons on the sound bar to control your device by advancing
tracks or replaying music on your device as well as volume. Also, by pressing the power
button on the unit it will pause your music on your device and by pressing it again it will allow
the device to continue playing. When the unit is selected in Auxiliary mode and the power
button is pressed, the unit will mute the audio and un-mute the audio when pressed again.
When you are nished listening to music, simply press the power button and hold for 3-5
seconds and the unit will turn off. If the unit does not sense a signal from either the blue tooth
or auxiliary input for 10 minutes, it will automatically turn itself off.
