Daily use
When you have finished setting up
the loudspeaker as described on the
following pages, connect the entire
audio or video system to the mains.
The loudspeaker is designed to be left
in standby when not in use – so do not
switch off the power
The
Adaptive Bass Control
system ensures
that the bass level suits the placement of
the loudspeaker. Therefore, if you move the
loudspeaker to a new position, you must
perform a new calibration, as explained in
Adapt BeoLab 5 to your room
(pp. 12–13).
Switching on and off
When you switch on your Bang & Olufsen
system, the loudspeaker switches on
simultaneously. The indicator light shines
green*, indicating that the loudspeaker is
switched on.
When you switch off your Bang & Olufsen
system, the indicator light becomes solid red
for a while and then switches off (standby).
If the loudspeaker is connected to a non-Bang &
Olufsen system, refer to the next page for
information about switching on and off, turning
the volume up and down, shifting the sound
balance, and presetting the volume level.
Loudspeaker protection
The loudspeaker is equipped with a thermal
protection system which prevents the units
from overheating. Should an error occur, the
system automatically switches the loudspeaker
to standby – and the indicator light flashes red
for a while.
To restore the situation:
> Disconnect the loudspeaker from the mains.
> Allow the system time to reset (approx. 3–5
minutes).
> Reconnect the loudspeaker to the mains again.
Should the problem persist, contact your Bang &
Olufsen retailer.
Do not touch the two speaker domes! For cleaning,
use a soft brush.
Cleaning
Clean the loudspeaker surfaces using a soft,
lint-free cloth which you have wrung firmly in
lukewarm water.
Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the two
domes. However, the front speaker cloth may
be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner with a brush
nozzle, and set to the lowest suction level.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any
parts of the loudspeaker.
*NOTE! If the
Adaptive Bass Control
system has
not yet been calibrated, the indicator light slowly
flashes green. The calibration is explained in
Adapt BeoLab 5 to your room
(pp. 12–13). If the
loudspeaker has been locked by the PIN code
system, the indicator light shines intermittently red
and green. The PIN code system is explained in
Use the PIN code system
(p. 14).
