(3) The text “searching...” will change to “primary”  

  on one loudspeaker and “secondary” on the other.  
  Also, “cancel” will change to “disconnect”.  
  From here, you can either (A) select a Bluetooth  
  mode (see below), or (B) push the speaker  

 

  control knob to disconnect.

Notice how the icon of the loudspeaker also 

illuminates when linked.

BT Mode –

 This is where to select the bluetooth  

  mode [zone or stereo]. Rotate the speaker control  
  knob until BT mode is illuminated then push it to  
  enter and edit the BT mode.

From here, rotate the speaker control knob until  

  the bluetooth mode you prefer is illuminated: zone

STEREO:

 The stereo setting is your default two   

  loudspeaker setup, ideal for applications such  
  as a party, DJ, etc., where a device is paired  
  and streaming music in stereo. Here the main  
  level controls both speakers.

The following channels are available when  

  the Thump BSTs are linked in stereo:

•  Ch. 1 Primary or Secondary
•  Ch. 2 Primary or Secondary
• Bluetooth
•  Stereo Main

If the bluetooth mode is set to stereo, you may select  

  which loudspeaker is located on the left and which  
  is on the right. Simply rotate the speaker control  
  knob so that channel is illuminated, then push  
  the button to enter and edit.

Rotate to illuminate your choice – left or right – then  

  push the button to select.

ZONE:

 The zone mode setting is your optional    

  loudspeaker setup, ideal for when the speakers  
  are placed in different locations and allows for    
  separate main level controls.

ThumpBST loudspeakers in zone mode  
setting will receive a mono-summed signal.

The following channels are available when  

  the Thump BSTs are linked in zone mode:

•  Ch. 1 Primary or Secondary
•  Ch. 2 Primary or Secondary
• Bluetooth
•  Primary or Secondary Main

As before, illuminating and selecting the left-facing 

arrow returns you to the previous screen.
