USE
The use of the two-way, bass reflex active sound box is primarily recommended for hobby and
party entertainment purposes. Its built-in battery allows you to operate it without voltage. With
the help of a 3,5 mm diameter AUX and a 6,3 mm diameter microphone input, external
devices, such as mobile phone, computer, CD/DVD player, recorder, microphone… can be
directly connected. Besides the speakers, the unit includes a built-in amplifier and
USB/MP3/FM/BT multimedia player. Its accessories are a power charger and a remote control.
POWER SUPPLY, CHARGING THE ACCUMULATOR
The sound box can be operated from the built-in battery. The battery must be fully charged
before first use. Connect the supplied power adapter to the sound box (
CHARGE DC 5 V
microUSB socket), then to power network and leave the sound box switched off. During
charging the red LED is lighting. Stop charging by removing the adapter, if the red LED goes
out or at the latest after 4 hours. In case of fully discharged battery, the charging time is
approximately 3-3,5 hours. This provides approx. 10 hours of operation from the internal
battery at medium volume. This depends on the set volume, the selected mode and the
ambient temperature. It can also be charged during operation, but this increases charging
time.
• Can only be connected to the adapter supplied with it! If it is less than in the factory accessory
5 V/2 A, e.g. it is connected to a mobile phone charger, it can be damaged!
• After charging and/or ending use, unplug the adapter from the mains and the device! Keep it
connected after full charging only if the device is in continuous operation. Charging can
cause noise in the loudspeakers. When the machine is switched off, the automatic battery
charger operates. Remove the adapter from the network after charging is complete!
• For sake of extended battery life, keep the battery in charged status even when it is out of
use!
• The used battery is closed, Li-ion type. It does not require maintenance. At the end of its
lifetime, it can be replaced by a specialist after removing the control panel. The cover is fixed
with screws.
INSTALLATION
All connections should be done when the system is powered off! The sound box and the
device to be connected are also should be in switched-off state! Make sure that that the wiring
and polarity of the connectors are correct. Keep the microphone cable and audio cable away
from the power cord! You have to connect the power adapter firstly to the sound box, then to
the power socket.
The
VOLUME volume-control should be in minimum position. After this, on the switched on
sound box ( keep the POWER button pressed for 2 seconds ) carefully start increasing the
volume el. Set the VOLUME control to minimum position before every switch on and off, so
that no so that no possibly occurred noise impact can damage the speakers. To switch off,
press and hold the
POWER button.
VOLUME-CONTROL AND FUNCTION CHANGE
Volume-control can be performed by using the VOLUME rotary knob or with the remote
control's VOL+/VOL- button. After switching on, the wireless BT function activates. If a device
have already been paired to it – and it is nearby – then the connection is automatical. The
function you want to operate can be selected by pressing the
INPUT button (or MODE in the
remote control): BT – USB – LINE – FM – BT…
Available multimedia functions: wireless BT connectivity, USB MP3 player, FM radio, using
external microphone (option), external device connection (AUX - LINE IN socket).
MAXIMUM VOLUME
Every speaker must be eased into working before proper usage. In the first 30-50 operation
hours it should only run at 50% capacity!
At higher volume levels – in some cases – there may be distorted, low-quality sound. This can
be caused by the too large input signal. To avoid this, reduce the signal level of the particular
external equipment or if necessary the main volume (
VOLUME ). The system's maximum
volume is that which can still hear without distortions.
• By further increasing the volume, there is no increase in output power, or even the distortion
of the system increases! This is harmful to the loudspeaker and may cause malfunction!
• If you are connecting a microphone, place it as far away from the audio box as possible to
eliminate the noise! Do not point the sound box towards the microphone, because the noise
damages the loudspeakers! When using a microphone, gently increase the volume and, if
you experience noise, immediately turn the control back and replace the sound box into
another position if necessary.
WIRELESS BT CONNECTION
The device can be paired to other devices with BT protocol within a range of up to 10 meters.
After that, you can listen to music played on mobile phone, tablet, notebook and other similar
devices hands-free. Select with the INPUT or MODE button the BT function, the display shows
BLUE text. Search for the devices nearby which has wireless BT connection, including this
speaker in the way it is written in the instruction manual of the device to be paired. Connect the
two devices together. After successful connection, a short beep sounds. Next, the desired
program can be heard from the speaker. Using the playback device player (e.g. a mobile
phone) generally can be controlled by briefly pressing the
buttons.
• In case of older, BT2.0 devices, you may need to enter a password when connecting:
"0000"
• One loudspeaker can be paired with one BT device simultaneously.
• After switching on, it will automatically re-connect to the previously paired and properly
connected device if it is switched on nearby.
• If wireless connection is interrupted, if necessary, keep pressing the INPUT button, until it's
back to BT function, and pairing mode activates again.
• When a phone call is received on the connected mobile phone while listening to music,
music playback pauses. After the conversation, start the continuation of playing on the
phone.
• Due to the unique features of the external device, occasionally BT function may work
limited.
• The actual range depends on the other device and the ambient conditions. (e.g. walls,
human bodies, other electrical devices, movement ...)
• Abnormal operation, noise can be caused by the electrical appliances nearby, this does
not indicate a malfunction of the device!
• If you listen to it also during charging, occasionally network noise may occur in the
speakers.
• Abnormal operation may be caused by the specific features of the external device, which
does not indicate a malfunction of the device! Occasionally, the BT function may operate
limited due to the specific features of the external device.

radio program.
• The reception of the radio depends to a great extent on the location of use and the current
reception conditions.
• Do not have a larger metal object or electric appliance near the device!
• Carefully pull out the backside telescopic antenna and adjust it in the direction of the best
reception! Positioning of the device also affects reception quality.
WIRED AUDIO INPUTS (MIC INPUT, AUX INPUT)

audio output to the amplifier:
MIC INPUT: Ć 6,3 mm socket for handheld microphone (not included) .
AUX INPUT: Ć 3,5 mm socket to connect headphone output or LINE output (mobile phone,
tablet, computer, multimedia player…).
• The available sound quality depends on the quality of the audio signal provided by the
external device and its volume and tone settings.
• It is recommended to switch off the equalizer on the player and use it only on the sound box
(EQ).
• The too small signal (volume) entering the sound box may cause excessive noise, too much
signal causes distortion. It is recommended to maintain the signal level at medium level.
