Left / Right Channel and Mono Selection
The Wireless Outdoor Speaker System comes with one speaker and is designed for either Mono or
Stereo playback. For stereo playback, an additional speaker must be purchased separately. Mono
playback is suggested when only one speaker is used in an area or room.
Mono Playback
To enable Mono playback, ensure that the switch located on the back panel of the speaker is in the
MONO position.
Stereo Playback
To enable Stereo playback, set the switch on one of the two speakers' back panel to LEFT. Set the
switch on the other speaker to RIGHT.
Note 1 : It is also possible to listen to only the Left or Right audio channel using only the speaker
set. To do so, simply set the switch on the speaker's back panel to LEFT or RIGHT. Only the
channel selected will be audible.
Note 2 : If two speakers are connected to the system, ensure both speakers are placed within the
effective operational range. If either speaker is out of range it will cause distortion to both
speakers.
AUX In
To connect an audio device directly to the speaker, insert the output audio cable from the device into
the AUX In jack located on the back panel of the speaker.
Note :
− If the source signal is too weak for reception, the transmitter automatically switched off after
approximately 4 minutes to protect the unit and save power. If the source signal returns to an
adequate level, the transmitter automatically switches back on.
− When the transmitter is in Standby mode, the speaker automatically switches off after
approximately 20 minutes to protect the unit and save power.
− To switch speaker power back on during Standby mode, press the POWER button on the remote
control. The signal link between the transmitter and speaker reconnects automatically.
Troubleshooting
