When you have nished setting
up the loudspeakers as described
on the following pages,
connect the entire system to
the mains supply. When in

standby, the indicator light is
switched off. The loudspeakers

are designed to be lef t in

standby mode when not in use.

The loudspeakers comprise the
‘Acoustic Lens Technology’ system

that ensures better balance in the
high tone frequencies coming
directly from the loudspeaker, and
the sound reected by the room.

The system also ensures correct

tonal balance in the whole area in
front of the loudspeaker.

Switching on and off –
indicator light

When you switch on your Bang&
Olufsen system, the loudspeakers
switch on simultaneously. The
indicator light turns green,
indicating that the loudspeakers are
switched on. After some time, the
indicator light will fade down.

When you switch off your system,
the red indicator light appears,
indicating that the loudspeakers are
not in use.

Loudspeaker protection

If an active speaker unit becomes
over heated, the affected
loudspeaker will instantly reduce
the sound level. Once the situation
has stabilised, the sound level is
slowly returned to normal.

If the indicator light is solid orange,
turn down the volume or allow
your loudspeakers to cool off.

Indicator

Cleaning the loudspeakers

Wipe dust off the surfaces using a
dry, soft cloth. If necessary, remove
stains or dirt with a soft, damp
cloth and a solution of water and
mild detergent such as washing-up
liquid.

Never use alcohol or other solvents
to clean any part of the loudspeakers!

NOTE! Prolonged listening at high

volume levels may cause hearing

damages.

If your loudspeakers detect a fault,
an orange indicator light will ash
until your loudspeakers are
disconnected from the mains supply.

Should the problem persist, contact

your Bang& Olufsen retailer.
