Press and hold the touch field for more than three 
seconds on the loudspeaker you wish to calibrate 
(while you are pressing, the indicator light quickly 
flashes red).

If you wish to cancel an ongoing calibration, press 
the touch field again – or press BACK on the Beo4 
remote control.

For an overview of the indicator lights, refer to 

page 17.

The moving microphone is used during the

calibration. Make sure that there is always free
space in front of the microphone.

To calibrate BeoLab 5

Perform the calibration for each loudspeaker 
in your setup separately. The calibration takes 
a couple of minutes for each loudspeaker. You 
cannot start the calibration if the loudspeaker 
has been locked by the PIN code system*.

> Make sure that the loudspeaker is in standby. 

If necessary, switch the loudspeaker to standby 
as explained in the chapter ‘Daily use’ (pp. 4–5).

> Press and hold the touch field for more than 

three seconds, then let go of the panel.  

When the calibration begins, the indicator light 
flashes green. 

Once started, and during the calibration, the 
following occurs:

–  The microphone extends a little, and the speaker 

generates a series of sound signals, starting with 
very low bass tones.

–  After a while the microphone extends a little 

further, and the sound signals begin again. 

–  When the calibration is complete, the 

microphone retracts and the loudspeaker 
switches to standby. The indicator light shines 
red for a while. You may now proceed with the 
next loudspeaker.

If the indicator light flashes red, an error has 
occurred during the calibration. To solve this, do 
the following:

> Press and hold the touch field for more than one 

second, then let go of the field. 

The loudspeaker will switch to standby, and the 

indicator light shines red for a while

> Check for any source of noise which may have 

interferred with the calibration, and wait until 
the noise has stopped. 

> Press and hold the touch field for more than 

three seconds to start the calibration again.

*NOTE! If the loudspeaker is locked by the PIN code 

system, the indicator light shines intermittently red 
and green when you switch on. Unlock the 
loudspeaker as explained in Use the PIN code 
system (p. 14).
