dropped.

Care and Maintenance

• Always use a soft cloth to clean the speaker and transmitter. Never use any product containing alcohol or other
solvents as they may damage the surface.

• Use caution when plugging the power transformers in an AC outlet to avoid the risk of electric shock.

• If the speaker are used outside on a deck or patio, make sure you take them indoors in the event of a rainstorm to
prevent possible damage.

• Do not operate or store the system in extreme temperatures (below 32ºF/0ºC and above 122ºF/50ºC).

Troubleshooting

The following troubleshooting guide takes you through some of the more common problems
associated with the installation and/or operation of a wireless system. If the problem persists,
please call toll-free at 1-800-732-6866 or visit www.acoustic-research.com.

Issue: Cause and solution:

No sound • Check that the transmitter AC power adapter is fully inserted into the wall outlet

and the power cord from the AC adapter is fi rmly connected to the transmitter
power input jack.

• Confi rm that the speaker is turned on and tuned to the transmitter—the indicator
light on the back of the speaker should be solid blue (not blinking).

• If you’re using the power adapters, confi rm that both (for the speaker and for the
transmitter) are fully inserted into their wall outlets and the adapter power cords
are fi rmly connected to the power input jacks on the transmitter or speaker.

or

• If you’re using batteries for the speaker, check that they are fresh and inserted
with correct polarity (+, –).

• Check that the audio source component (stereo, MP3 player, etc.) is turned on and
transmitting sound as it normally should.

• Make sure the volume on your audio source is turned up.

• Check that the speaker volume is turned up.

• If you are using a Tape 2 Monitor output from your receiver/amp as the audio
output, check that you have pressed the Tape Monitor/Tape 2 button on the front
of the receiver. This will turn on the Tape 2 outputs, which may not have been
active.

Issue: Cause and solution:

Sound is
distorted or
has static

• When using battery power, make sure the batteries are fresh and replace if
necessary.

• Check that the speaker’s indicator light is solid blue (not blinking) when an audio
source is connected to the transmitter

• Change the position of the channel select switch (1, 2 or 3) to change the
operating frequency. Then press the AutoScan button on the speaker’s back panel
to make the speaker retune.

• Change the location of the transmitter. Place it as high and away from
obstructions as possible. Avoid placing the transmitter directly on top of or behind
a TV.

• Move the transmitter and speaker closer together. Sending the signal through
certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal, can decrease the effective
transmitting distance of the system.

Turning the Speaker Off

1. Press the On-Off button on the back of the speaker to turn the speaker off.

2. Confi rm that the speaker is off by verifying that the indicator light on the speaker’s back
panel is no longer illuminated.

Using the Auxiliary Audio Input

Streaming Audio with the 900MHz Wireless Transmitter

1. Make sure the 900MHz transmitter is on and that there’s something playing on your audio
source. Turn your audio source up to at least 3/4 full volume.

2. If the speaker isn’t already on, press the On-Off button to turn it on.

3. The indicator light starts fl ashing, which means the speaker is trying to link with the
900MHz wireless transmitter. The indicator light turns solid blue when the speaker is tuned
to the 900MHz wireless transmitter—you should hear sound coming from the speaker now.

Note: If the speaker is not linked to the 900MHz transmitter, or if the transmitter isn’t
connected properly, the indicator light will continue to blink. If this occurs, please see the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.

IMPORTANT: The indicator light on the back of the speaker indicates the status of the

wireless connection only. If you’re not using the transmitter (or if you’re out of range of the
transmitter) it will keep blinking until it fi nds the transmitter. This is normal.

4. Adjust the volume on the speaker as desired.

Notes: If you’re using a single speaker with this transmitter, keep the L/M/R switch on the
bottom of the speaker in the “M” position (for mono). If you’re using more than one speaker
with this transmitter, set the speakers to the “L” (left) or “R” (right) positions according to
their orientation to the listener.

The speaker automatically retunes if it loses the transmitter’s signal. You can also press the
AutoScan button on the back of the speaker to retune the speaker at any time.

The transmitter turns off automatically if there is no audio signal present for a prolonged
period.

Interference in the form of static and/or distortion can sometimes be heard. If this occurs,
confi rm the transmitter/speaker adjustments and indicators. If the problem persists, refer to
the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
