Rechargeable 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. 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 the speaker. Charge the battery completely after each use.

Storage

Repair If the battery fails to charge, contact Alto Professional at altoproaudio.com.

Disposal

For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90 °F / 32 °C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32 °F / 0 °C) temperatures.

It is acceptable to leave your speaker plugged in. This will not overcharge the battery.

If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, it may permanently lose capacity.

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

Important Safety Precautions

Please note: Alto Professional and inMusic are not responsible for the use of its products or the

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not connect Uber FX to a power outlet while the grille is removed.

Sound Level

Permanent hearing loss may be caused by exposure to extremely high noise levels. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified permissible exposures to certain noise levels. According to OSHA, exposure to high sound pressure levels (SPL) in excess of these limits may result in hearing loss. When using equipment capable of generating high SPL, use hearing protection while such equipment is under operation.

Connect your smartphone, MP3 player, or similar device to the Aux Input. Adjust the output volume on your source device and then adjust the overall volume using the Aux Input Volume Control on Uber FX.

Effects

To hear the effects on a channel: Turn up the Effects Level for the channel. Use the Effects Selector knob to choose one of the effects below:

Reverb Effects

• HALL 1: A large, bright concert hall reverberation effect suitable for vocals and instruments.

• HALL 2: A large, warm concert hall reverberation effect suitable for drums, piano and other

instruments.

• ROOM 1: A medium-sized, moderately bright reflective room reverberation effect suitable

for vocals, lead guitars and other instruments.

• ROOM 2: A small, very reflective bright room reverberation effect suitable for drums and

percussion as well as electric guitars and other instruments.

• ROOM 3: A large, warm room reverberation effect suitable for acoustic instruments.

• PLATE 1: A lush, smooth vocal plate reverb with a long decay time and warm tonality.

• PLATE 2: An emulation of vintage plate reverb with bright, slightly tinny tonality and a

medium-length decay.

• PLATE 3: A short, bright plate reverb effective for creating subtle spaces.

Modulation Effects

• CHORUS: A complex, 6-voice chorus ensemble effect with short delays often referred to as

a "Chorus / Doubler". Discrete stereo signal path. Slow and watery.

• FLANGE: Classic stereo flange: a slow, slightly metallic sweep with a discrete stereo signal

path.

• ROTARY: Fast rotary speaker simulator creates the classic, lush Doppler effect of an

organ’s spinning horn. Effective on guitars, vocals, keyboards and other instruments.

Delay Effects

• DELAY 1: A simple slap-back echo with no feedback particularly effective on vocals and

rhythm guitars.

• DELAY 2: Medium-length poly-rhythmic delay with crossover feedback. 3 to 4 ratio

between L and R delay times (291 to 388ms) for 3/4 vs. 4/4 feel. Useful for solo instruments where a long, trailing echo effect is desired.

Multi Effects

• CHORUS – ROOM 1: Room reverb into a slow flanging modulation creates a spacey effect.

• CHORUS – ROOM 2: Fast modulation provides a dramatic chorus effect in a small room for

a very lush chorus + reverb sound with a discrete stereo signal path.

BYPASS: Bypasses the effects processor – no effects will be heard.

Troubleshooting

If the unit is not charging: Make sure the power cable is properly connected to the power

input and the power outlet.

If the sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source, musical instrument, or microphone. Also, try to reduce the overall volume of Uber FX using the Master Volume knob.

If 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.

If there is a high-pitched whistling noise when using microphones: This is probably feedback. Point the microphone away from the speaker.

If you can’t hear the microphone over the music volume: Turn down the music volume from your source.

If you can't hear your instrument: Check the setting of the Line/Mic switch. If you are using an instrument with passive pickups, set the switch to the Mic setting.

If you can’t play music from a flash drive: The USB port is only for charging USB devices.

If you cannot connect your audio device to Uber FX via Bluetooth:

• Have your audio device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) and Uber FX as close together as possible while trying to connect. Make sure both the audio device and Uber FX are unobstructed by walls, furniture, etc.

• Reset the Bluetooth connection on Uber FX to disconnect Uber FX from any other audio device and restart the search process. If this does not work right away, power off Uber FX and then power it back on. See Pairing a Bluetooth Device Using NFC for more information.

• Reset the Bluetooth connection on your audio device by turning Bluetooth off and back on. You can find this under the Bluetooth menu in the Settings for your phone or other audio device.

If this does not work, and you have connected to Uber FX before, find Uber FX in the list of available or previously connected devices in your audio device's Bluetooth menu, tap the "gear" or “i” icon located next to it and then select Unpair or Forget. Turn Uber FX off and back on and try pairing again once it reappears in your available devices list.

Note: If Uber FX has been paired to another audio device recently that is still within range, you may need to repeat this process with that audio device to fully disconnect.
