Instructions
1. Make sure the speakers are standing upright. Plug the left speaker’s integrated cable into the
speaker input connection in the right speaker.
2. Plug the Mini-B end of the USB cable into the USB power port in the left speaker, and the
Standard-A end into a USB power source. The power source can be your computer’s USB port
or a USB AC adapter (not included). The lights in the speakers will turn on.
Note: The USB cable is only for power, not for audio. If you are using a computer as your power source,
make sure the computer is turned on.
3. If your audio device is turned on, make sure that it is not playing and that the volume is turned
all the way down. Plug one end of the audio cable into the audio input connection in the left
speaker, and the other end into the headphone jack or audio output connection of your audio
device.
4. If your audio device is turned o, turn it on. Since the DWS-100 speakers do not have controls
of their own, you will have to use the controls on your audio device. Press PLAY and gradually
turn up the volume on your audio device until it reaches a desirable level. As you increase the
volume, the water will dance more.
