You can control up to 7 yAired devices using a transmitter when they are set to the same group.
5V (AC Adaptor)
Connects the AC adaptor (for the charging cradle).
AUX
Connects an external device. When the external device is connected, the speaker unit turns on.
To listen to music through the speaker unit, begin playback on the external device.
To connect an external device to the speaker unit, use a commercially available 3.5 mm (1/8 in) stereo mini plug cable.
Note When disconnecting the external device, be sure to remove the cable from AUX. Otherwise, the speaker unit will
remain on while the cable is connected.
15V (AC Adaptor)
Connects the AC adaptor (for the speaker unit).
/ (Volume keys)
Adjust the volume level.
· If the volume was set at a high level when the iPhone/iPod or external device was disconnected, the volume may be
lowered automatically when playback begins.
· When the AC adaptor (for the speaker unit) is disconnected, the volume level is reset to the default volume level.
· When controlling yAired devices using a transmitter, the volume is adjusted as follows.
‑ When the volume level is adjusted using the iPhone/iPod, the volume levels of all of the yAired devices change.
‑ When the volume level is adjusted using one of the yAired devices, only the volume level of that device changes.
· When an iPhone/iPod and external device are connected and playing at the same time, the volume is adjusted as follows.
‑ When the volume level is adjusted using the iPhone/iPod, the volume levels of both the iPhone/iPod and external
device change.

blocked by your body or metallic
objects, etc.
Change the way of holding, the
orientation, or the position of the
transmitter to avoid your body or
metallic objects blocking the signal.
There is a device (microwave oven,
wireless LAN, etc.) outputting signals in
the 2.4 GHz frequency band nearby.
Relocate the speaker unit and transmitter
away from the device.
The transmitter is too far from the
speaker unit.
Move the transmitter closer to the
speaker unit.
The battery of the iPhone/iPod is low. Charge the iPhone/iPod.
The speaker unit is not turned on. Connect the AC adaptor and power cable
securely.
Connection in progress. Please wait for a while.
The speaker unit and transmitter are
not connected because they are set to
