Note

Remember that in addition to operating only in Bluetooth mode, to get maximum performance with FM, multiroom,
clock, alarm and INPUT; we recommend to acquire the remote control 41514.
The sound unit must be connected to a mains voltage between 115 and 230 V~ 50/60Hz, prior to being used.
Because these devices communicate by radio frequency, depending on the environment interference and objects,
communication can be altered.
There is not any LED indicator, so it is necessary to connect at least one speaker (better two) in order to check the unit
is working properly.
External audio amplifiers (i.e. E17G/D, 40425 & 40430) can be attached to the audio output. To do so, connect 41517
terminals

L+

R+

(GND) to the audio amplifier input terminals

GND

respectively.

Access to

LINK

internal key on the back side of 41517.

Preset volume adjustment

Preset volume is factory-set at maximum level. However, it can be changed and limited by means of

LINK

key, which

is located on the back side of 41517 module. Every short press on

LINK

key reduces preset volume in -6 dB steps

up to -68 dB, and then it goes to maximum level again.
Once adjusted, preset volume is stored and is value is kept even in case of power failure. It can be adjusted again or
be reset to factory-set value (maximum) by pressing LINK key for 6 seconds or more.

WARNING:

Keep in mind that a RESET can modify other parameters.

NOT

E: In

Bluetooth

mode, the user can control volume level from the device. We suggest leaving the volume of

41517 module at maximum level. This way maximum performance can be obtained and the control is more comfortable.

Volume / Link / Reset key

LINK

key has three functions:

Every short press on LINK key reduces preset volume in -6 dB steps up to -68 dB, and then it goes to maximum
level again.

Additionally, a short press on LINK key makes the module visible for Zigbee devices, so that it can be linked with
a 41514 remote control.

A long press (more than 6s) produces a RESET of the module: preset volume is set to maximum, Friendly Name
and PIN code return to the value printed on the labels.

LINK

First connection

41517 master module works in Bluetooth

mode only when powered for the first time or after a blackout. Initial state

is stand-by: the module is visible to any Bluetooth

device and can be paired with it.

Module Friendly Name is "

EGi 41517 xxxx

". This name will appear on the Bluetooth

device screen when searching.

EGi

is the brand,

41517

is the product reference and "

xxxx

" stands for the last four digits of the serial number.

Every module has a unique Friendly Name, so the user can know which module is connecting to. Friendly Name is
printed on two labels: one is attached to the enclosure, and the other one is left loose into the packaging.

Pin code linking

A 4-digit random

password / PIN

code is printed on the labels. It must be keyed in during linking process.

Once linked and connected, the module will start to sound.

WARNING:

Please dont lose the labels so that the

Friendly Name

and the

code are always available.

Turning ON

The module remains in stand-by state until it is connected to a Bluetooth

device.

When connected, it goes to

state: audio output is activated, volume is adjusted to its preset value and equalizer

is set to achieve optimum performance.
Since then, volume control and music selection will be controlled from the linked Bluetooth

device.

NOTE: Disconnection causes are: manual command from the device or lost of coverage.

When disconnected, module goes to stand-by state: audio output is disabled and the module is visible/connectable
again. In other words, it can be linked to a new Bluetooth

device or connected to a known device (one that has been

linked previously).

Operation in Bluetooth

mode only

without remote control

41517

Troubleshooting

Problem

Module doesnt work at all.

The module can be linked to a Bluetooth

device,

but there is no sound.

If the module is linked to a 41514 remote control,
pressing the

LINK

key switches off the sound.

Module is powered, but it is not visible for
Bluetooth

devices and do not responds to a

41514 remote control.

Possible solution

Check that the sound unit is powered. A voltage
between 115 and 230 V~ 50/60Hz must be applied
to

and

terminals

Check that the speakers are properly connected to

L+

R+

outputs. Verify the absence of

short-circuits and check that the speakers line
impedance is above 4 ohms. Make sure that a
Bluetooth

device is connected, and set volume

level to maximum.

When

LINK

key is pressed in full-functionality

mode, 41517 module goes to stand-by state to
allow a new link to a different remote control. That
is the reason for the music to switch off. After that,
pressing any key on the 41514 regains control over
the module.

It is probable that the module is being controlled
by another 41514 remote control (previously linked).
Check all remote controls in the installation.

Operation in full-functionality mode:

Bluetooth, FM/RDS,

aux. input & multiroom using EGi remote control

First connection

41517 master module works in Bluetooth

-only mode when powered.

It is necessary to link it to one or more 41514 remote controls to get full functionality: FM/RDS, multiroom, aux. INPUT,
clock, alarm, sleep and equalizer.

Linking to a 41514 remote control

Master module can be controlled by one or more 41514 remote controls, so that several people can control it.
A 41514 remote control can handle up to five 41517 modules. A 41517 module can be handled by up to fifteen
41514 remote controls.
Communication between 41517 modules and 41514 remote controls is performed by Zigbee. It is a radiofrequency
communications protocol.
To link the devices, please press

LINK

key on the back side of 41517 module (so it becomes visible for Zigbee devices).

Next, press the two upper-right keys on the 41514 remote control at the same time (LINK TO A NEW RECEIVER).
It will appear "LINKING" on the screen. When linking process ends, it will appear "LINKED TO A NEW RECEIVER".

There is another way to link together 41514 and 41517; it uses the PIN code printed on the labels of 41517.

Press

on 41514. Then key in PIN code and press

. It will appear "LINKING" on the screen. When linking

process ends, it will appear "LINKED TO A NEW RECEIVER".

Once linked to a remote control (or more), Bluetooth

can only be activated from a 41514 remote control.

In case of power failure, the module will go to Bluetooth

-only mode, but it will change automatically to a full-functionality

mode when any command from a linked 41514 remote control is received.

For detailed information about full-functionality mode (FM, multiroom, input, clock, alarm, sleep
and Bluetooth

), please read the 41514 remote control user manual.
