LEAD-ACID BATTERIES

Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery, how you use this battery has
a significant impact on its lifespan. For example, if you forget to turn off your car's lights and drain the battery, a jump-start
might work a few times, but after a few full discharges, even a jump-start won't help and the battery will need to be replaced.

With proper use and treatment, a lead-acid battery can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest
life from the internal battery.

GENERAL USAGE

• Fully charge the battery before using it

• Avoid completely draining the battery

• For maximum life, drain the battery 80% once a month

• Charge the battery completely after each use

• When fully charged, the battery may be left for up to a week

• You may leave the unit plugged in for up to two weeks

STORAGE

• Avoid storing in high temperatures and moist places

• For long-term storage, periodically recharge the battery

• If you do not charge the battery for six months, it may not charge

REPAIR

• Do not attempt to service, modify, or replace the battery yourself

DISPOSAL

• Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local ordinances.

DIAGRAM AND PARTS DESCRIPTION

1. Microphone 1 Balanced
Input with Gain Control
(1/4” or XLR): This jack can

take either a ¼” balanced or
a XLR balanced cable.

2. Instrument/Microphone 2

Input with Gain Control
(1/4”): This mono input

accepts a ¼” input such as a
microphone, guitar, or other
musical instrument.

3. iPod/Auxiliary input with

Gain Control (Stereo
RCA): This stereo RCA

input can be used to connect a CD, MP3, or other audio source. The knob controls the level of the iPod and
the RCA input. To connect to a portable device with a 1/8” headphone jack, you need a standard 1/8”-to-RCA
adapter which is not included.

4. Master Volume Control: This knob controls the master volume of the TransActive Live.

5. iPod Charging Switch: Turn on iPod charging by setting this switch to the "Charge iPod" position.

6. Battery Level Indicator: While the unit is powered ON, these four lights indicate the power left in the battery.
Battery life varies based on volume and usage.

7. Link Output: Connect a 1/4" stereo (TRS) cable to this line-level output to connect another amplification
device, such as another TransActive Live.

8. Power In (IEC): Insert the included power cable here to charge the unit. Note that the TransActive Live can
run off wall power while it simultaneously charges the battery. The charge indicator illuminates when the
battery is charging.

9. Voltage Selector*: Set this to the correct voltage for your
location's standard.

10. Power ON/OFF Switch: Turns TransActive Live on or off.
Please note that while TransActive Live is connected to a
power source, it does not need to be powered on to
charge the battery.

IMPORTANT NOTES

If your sound is distorted at high volumes, please refer to the following troubleshooting scenarios:

• Input is clipping: Try lowering the input gain or the volume control on your sound source or music instrument.

• Output is clipping: Lower the main volume level.

• There is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level.

This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs.

• The link cable: is being plugged into the instrument or MIC input instead of the RCA line input.

Important: With all speakers, an initial “break-in” period is needed to perform at optimal levels. To properly “break­in” your TransActive Live, play an audio source at medium volume for a few hours.

BATERÍAS DE PLOMO-ÁCIDO

Las baterías de plomo-ácido recargables son del mismo tipo que se usa en los automóviles. Al igual que con la batería del
vehículo, la forma en que se usa tiene una influencia significativa en la duración de su vida útil. Por ejemplo, si olvida apagar
las luces del auto y se agota la batería, es posible que pueda usar un puente para arrancar unas cuantas veces, pero después
de varias descargas totales, el puente ya no podrá ayudarla y será necesario reemplazar la batería.

Con un uso y tratamiento correctos, una batería de plomo-ácido puede durar varios años. He aquí algunas recomendaciones
para prolongar la vida útil de la batería interna.

USO GENERAL

• Cargue completamente la batería antes de usarla

• Evite agotarla completamente

• Para obtener máxima vida, descargue la batería el 80% una vez por mes

• Cargue la batería completamente después de cada uso

• Cuando está completamente cargada, la batería puede dejarse por hasta una semana

• Puede dejar la unidad enchufada durante hasta dos semanas

ALMACENAMIENTO

• Evite almacenar la batería en lugares húmedos y de alta temperatura

• Si la almacena durante períodos prolongados, recárguela periódicamente

• Si no carga la batería durante seis meses, es posible que luego no pueda cargarse

REPARACIÓN

• No intente realizar el servicio, modificar o reemplazar la batería usted mismo

DISPOSICIÓN FINAL

• Lleve la unidad a un centro de reciclaje o deséchela de acuerdo a las ordenanzas locales
