FreePlay LIVE: Top Panel Features

7. Bluetooth Button

Pairing and Connecting

 – Press and hold the  

Bluetooth button to select it. The LED located  

above the button will flash white when selected.  

This is to indicate that the FreePlay LIVE and device 

are in pairing mode.

While FreePlay LIVE is in pairing mode,  

simultaneously scan for Bluetooth devices on the 

smart phone or tablet. You should see FreePlay LIVE 

appear in the “available devices” list. Select it.  

From there, the device should indicate that it  

is successfully connected.

The Bluetooth may disconnect when  

affected by Electrostatic Discharge [ESD]. 

Manually reconnect the Bluetooth  

connection.

Level

 – Press the Bluetooth/Aux button to select it. 

The LED located above the button will illuminate white 

when selected. Be sure to raise or lower that channel’s 

input level using the + and – level buttons. The input 

level will be represented in the meters with green LEDs. 

After five seconds of inactivity, the BlueTooth/Aux LED 

will turn off and the selection changes back to the main 

output [default].

8. Channel 1 and 2 Buttons

Press the Channel 1 or 2 button to select it. The LED 

located above the button will illuminate white when 

selected. Once a channel is selected, be sure to raise 

or lower that channel’s input level using the + and – 

level buttons. The input level will be represented  

in the meters with green LEDs. After five seconds  

of inactivity, the channel LED will turn off and the 

selection changes back to the main output [default].

If you quickly press and release the channel 

1 and 2 buttons simultaneously, the meters 

will indicate the battery strength before 

returning to display the output level.

If you press and hold the channel 1 and 2 

buttons simultaneously for three seconds 

before releasing, the FreePlay Live is reset 

to its factory default. Please keep in mind that this 

erases all settings that may have been set. You are also 

wiping the FreePlay LIVE’s memory of previously paired 

devices. To remedy this, you will need to ‘forget device’ 

in the Bluetooth settings of the device, then re-pair in 

order to regain communication and functionality.

9. Level [+ and –] Buttons

Push the + button repeatedly to add extra meat  

and veggies to your hoagie. Conversely, pushing  

the – button repeatedly will lower the amount  

of meat and veggies added to the grinder.

And now that lunch is over, a moment of truth.  

The + and – buttons actually adjust the selected input 

and overall output of the FreePlay LIVE from off to max.

The default selection is the output level. If 

another button is pressed, be sure to raise or 

lower the level within five seconds. After five  

seconds of inactivity, the selection changes 

back to the default output level.

10. Meters

This 6-segment meter illuminates green to display 

the input and output signal levels and battery strength.

The input level is easily changed by selecting the 

level you want to update followed by pushing the + and 

– buttons. 

After five seconds of inactivity, the meters will reflect 

the output level.

11. RVB Button

Are you interested in adding some reverb to the 

signal? It’s easy! Simply press the RVB button to turn it 

on and off. The LED located above the button will 

illuminate white when reverb is on.

This is a global reverb based on what reverb 

settings are currently saved on the FreePlay 

Connect App. Please refer to the FreePlay 

Connect App Reference Guide for additional details.
