Daily use
When you have finished setting up
your BeoLab 1, connect your entire
Bang & Olufsen system to the mains.
The stand-by indicator lights up in
red, indicating that the BeoLab 1 is
in stand-by, ready to be used.
As the BeoLab 1 speakers are
designed to be left in stand-by mode
when not in use, i.e. the power
should not be switched off at the
switch on the wall.
Please note: The BeoLab 1 is
designed to protect itself if the loud-
speaker units or the amplifiers
become overheated. The loud-
speaker protection circuits will
become active after a period of
playing very loud music, etc. at a
high level.
Switching on and off – indicator
When you switch on your music system, the
BeoLab 1 loudspeakers switch on simul-
taneously. The red stand-by indicator light
turns green, indicating that the speakers
are switched on.
When you switch off your system, or mute
the sound, the red indicator light appears
immediately, indicating that the BeoLab 1
speakers are not in use.
If the BeoLab 1 speakers are connected to a
non-Bang & Olufsen system – via the phono
socket (LINE) – they switch on automatically
when a signal is received from the system.
They switch off automatically a few
minutes after the signal has disappeared.
Loudspeaker protection
If the loudspeaker units become overheated,
the BeoLab 1 will instantly reduce the sound
level. When the situation has stabilised, the
sound level is slowly returned to normal. If
the loudspeaker is played constantly at such
a high level, the BeoLab 1 will eventually
mute the sound completely.
If the amplifier units become overheated,
the BeoLab 1 will reduce the sound level
and mute.
Should the BeoLab 1 mute, the sound will
fade and the indicator light turn red.
To restore the sound:
• Disconnect the BeoLab 1 from the mains.
• Allow the loudspeakers and amplifiers time
to cool off.
• Reconnect the BeoLab 1 to the mains.
Should the problem persist, please contact
your Bang & Olufsen dealer.
Cleaning the BeoLab 1
Clean the surfaces of the BeoLab 1 using a
soft, lint-free cloth which you have wrung
firmly in a solution of lukewarm water
containing a few drops of for example a
dish washing detergent.
The front speaker cloth may be cleaned
with a vacuum cleaner, set to the lowest
level.
Note: Never use alcohol or other solvents to
clean any part of your BeoLab 1!
