INTRODUCTION
Product Description
The AirGo™ Outdoor Sound System is a portable
amplifier/speaker dock for an Apple®AirPort
Express. With the AirGo Outdoor you can stream
music from an AirPlay®compatible device via the
Apple AirPort Express.
Since the Apple AirPort Express also has the ability
to act as a Wi-Fi repeater, you now have the ability to
have an outdoor Wi-Fi hotspot and listen to music at
the same time1. A special pocket within the unit, the
APX, protects the AirPort Express from the elements.
The AirGo Outdoor is a high performance, quality
outdoor sound system. A single large stereo
speaker provides excellent sound quality and a
wide sound stage.
1 Dependant upon AirPort Express configuration
Place it on the deck near the house to cover the deck
and backyard while having a cookout. Put it on the
driveway near the garage when washing the car.
Place it on the ground near the front door during
seasonal events to play music and sound effects of
your choice to match the occasion!
The AirGo Outdoor is easy and fun to use. With the
Apple AirPort Express installed, stream music from
your iPhone®, iPad®, Mac®, iTunes®or PC2and surf
the net from your Internet appliance at the same
time. The AirGo Outdoor is fun, sounds great and
brings hanging outside to another level.

Removing the APX cover
To begin, unravel the AirGo Outdoor’s main power
cord and remove the APX cover. Use a standard
Phillips screwdriver to remove the two Phillips screws
that secure the APX cover in place. Don’t worry about
loosing the screws, they’re captive screws so they
won’t fall out. Be careful not to dislodge the gasket
that is fitted to the APX cover. It is important that it be
intact when reinstalling the cover to keep moisture out
of the APX Pocket. See figure 2
Configuration of the AirPort Express®
The AirPort Express will need to be configured before
it is installed in the APX Pocket. Please refer to the
AirPort Express installation manual for complete
directions.

Speaker Angle Adjustment

speaker in the downward position. For optimal
sound dispersion, adjust the speaker to the upward

Taking Care of Your AirGo™ Outdoor
The AirGo Outdoor is made of durable materials
that need very little care. All we recommend is an
occasional wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Do not
use any harsh detergents, chemical solvents, or
abrasive materials. Also, do not spray water or other
liquids into the grilles.
While the AirGo Outdoor can be left out in the rain
it is recommended to bring the product inside
when not in use or to expose it to prolonged
inclement weather. This will keep the product clean,
maximizing its longevity and performance.
Your AirGo Outdoor is shipped with the speaker in the downward position.
For optimal sound dispersion, adjust the speaker to the upward position before use.
