Pairing
Before you stream audio to your wallplate speaker, it must fi rst be paired with your
Bluetooth enabled device. The process is simple, and in most cases the pairing process
needs to be done only once.
To pair your Bluetooth-enabled device with the speaker:
1. Make sure your device’s Bluetooth is turned on. See the wireless and/or network
settings menu on your device to check.
2. The fi rst time you plug in your wallplate speaker, the Pairing indicator will begin
blinking rapidly and it will be ready to pair. If the indicator is off, press and hold the
button for 3 seconds to initiate pairing.
3. Open the Bluetooth settings menu on your device. Select “Acoustic Research
Wallplate” from the list of devices available (you might have to scan for devices). If
your device asks for a password, enter “0000”.
4. The Pairing indicator turns solid blue to indicate successful connection. The speaker
is now ready for you to stream audio from your device.
5. Turn the volume on your device to at least 3/4 max, then start playing something on
the device. Control the volume using the volume buttons on your device.
Note:
• If you notice the sound from the speaker is distorted, turn down your device’s volume.
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall
be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing or placed near objects fi lled with liquids.
