IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
The Omni 10 and Omni 20 have been designed for use with 100-240 volt, 50/60 Hz AC current.
Connection to a line voltage other than that for which your product is intended can create a safety
and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements
for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before
plugging the unit in to a wall outlet.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. We do not recommend
that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords
under rugs or carpets, or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced
immediately by an authorized service center with a cord that meets factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug; never pull the cord.
If you do not intend to use your speaker for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug
from the AC outlet.
3
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present
a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your warranty. If water or any metal
object such as a paperclip, wire or staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC
power source immediately, and consult an authorized service center.

WPS
WPS
WPS is a simple way to connect your system to your home network. To confirm whether your router
supports WPS, look for the WPS logo or the letters WPS on your router. The Omni 10, Omni 20
and Adapt support both WPS-PBC and WPS-PIN modes. If your router supports it, WPS-PBC is the
simplest way to set up your Wi-Fi connection.
To connect to your home network via WPS-PBC mode:
1. Press the WPS button on your router.
2. Within one minute, press the WPS button on the Omni 10, Omni 20, or Adapt for less than
two seconds.
3. The Link button LED will quickly flash for up to one minute. Once the LED stops flashing and
turns solid white, your product is connected to your home network.
To connect to your home network via WPS-PIN mode:
1. Use a web browser to navigate to your home router’s setup page.
2. Press and hold the WPS button on the Omni 10, Omni 20, or Adapt for 3 seconds.
3. Enter 12345670 into the WPS-PIN section of your home router’s setup page.
4. The Link button LED will quickly flash for up to one minute. Once the LED stops flashing and
turns solid white, your product is connected to your home network.

ROOM SETUP
Rooms are a convenient way to permanently group
multiple speakers into a single playback zone,
or to give speakers a meaningful name. Single
products or pairs of products can be grouped
into individual rooms. To set up a room, select
the ‘Set up products’ button on the home screen
of the app.
ROOM SETUP
26
Next, determine which type of room you want
to set up. ‘Stand alone’ rooms consist of a single
product, while ‘Stereo pair’ rooms consist of two
products. Stereo pairs must include two products
of the same type, i.e. two Omni 10s, two Omni
20s, or one Adapt.
Note: Select the appropriate option that you
wish to configure. If you select ‘Custom’ you will
need to add your own custom name for it to be
displayed.
ROOM SETUP
27
After selecting a room type, a list of available
products will be displayed at the bottom of the
screen. To set up a ‘Stand alone’ room, select one
of these products.
Note: If at any point your speaker loses its
connection to the network go through the steps
previously shown and tap the ‘Refresh signal
strength’ button in the upper left-hand corner.
ROOM SETUP
After selecting a product from the list, the
product’s icon will appear in the middle of the
screen, along with its Wi-Fi signal strength. After
confirming you have selected the correct product,
select ‘Done’ in the top-right corner of the screen.
Take note of the Wi-Fi signal strength. If it appears
low, you may need to consider moving the
product closer to your Wi-Fi router, or expanding
your Wi-Fi network. After moving the product
closer to your Wi-Fi network, remember to press
the ‘Refresh signal strength’ button to check if
the signal strength has increased.
Note: We recommend operating with at least two
bars of signal strength. Low signal strength may
impact performance.
28
From now on, the configured rooms will appear
for selection on the side bar of the app’s home
screen instead of individual products. When you
stream music to a room, all speakers in that room
will play together.
ROOM SETUP
29
SET UP STEREO PAIR
To set up a ‘Stereo pair’, two products must be
selected as the left and right channels respectively.
To begin, select L and then select a product from
the bottom of the screen. Then select R, and select
the other product from the bottom of the screen.
When you select a product from the bottom of
the screen, the Link button LED on that specific
product will flash off and on three times. Check if
you’ve selected the correct products for left and
right channels, and select ‘Done’.
SET UP STEREO PAIR
30
Next, you must select one of the products to
as Master. The Master product is important, so
select whichever product you have easier physical
access to, if any.
The product in a ‘Stereo pair’ that is not the Master
will have its Bluetooth® and Aux inputs disabled,
and the LED on its outer ring will not illuminate.
Now you can adjust the left/right balance of the
stereo pair. The balance is used to compensate
for differences in volume between the left and
right speakers. If one speaker is going to be placed
further away from your listening position, you
may wish to raise its level.
SET UP STEREO PAIR
To delete a room and ungroup the products in it,
select the room from the sidebar on the right-hand
side of the main screen of the app. Tap it again
to open the playback controls box. Select the
‘Ungroup’ button to the right of the ‘Stand alone’
or ‘Stereo pair’ icon. The room will be deleted and
the products will now appear individually.
Once the ‘Ungroup’ button is removed, tap the
‘Stereo pair’ icon, choose a room and pick ‘Edit This
Room’. This enables you to rename or change the
icon for that room. You can also pick the ‘Delete
This Room’ icon to delete the room and show
individual products.

PLACE YOUR SPEAKERS
Place the speaker on a firm and level surface. Make sure that the surface and any mounting hardware
can support the Omni 10 or Omni 20’s weight.

easily send music around your home. This is
accomplished by linking different products or
rooms together.
To link rooms or individual products together
from the Harman Kardon Controller app, tap
the Link button at the bottom of the right-hand
sidebar. You will see selection dots appear beside
every product or room. Select which rooms or

and hold the Bluetooth® button for three seconds.
Navigate to your phone or tablet’s Bluetooth®
settings menu, and select Omni 10, Omni 20, or
Adapt to pair and connect. You only need to pair
once with each phone or tablet . After this, you
can directly select your speaker from your phone
or tablet’s Bluetooth® settings page to connect.
Once Bluetooth® is connected, all the audio from
your phone or tablet will be played-back over your
speaker instead of the phone’s internal speaker.
OPERATING YOUR OMNI 10, OMNI 20, ADAPT
38
Aux-in
The Omni 10, Omni 20, and Adapt are each
equipped with a two-channel analog audio input
for playback of local analog sources. If two Omni
10s or Omni 20s are paired as a stereo pair, audio
from the master speaker will be automatically
sent to the other.
Connect a 3.5 mm stereo cable (sold separately)
to the Audio-in jack on the bottom or back panel
of the unit and connect the other end to your
analog audio device. If your product is not playing
a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth® stream, then you will be able
to hear the Aux-in audio right away. If you are
currently listening to a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth® audio
stream, press the Link button to cycle through
active Wi-Fi streams until the ring LED around
the Link button turns green.
Bluetooth®/Aux Restreaming
Bluetooth®/Aux Restreaming allows you to send
OPERATING YOUR OMNI 10, OMNI 20, ADAPT
Bluetooth® or Aux-in audio via Wi-Fi to up to three
additional speakers on the network.
When listening to Bluetooth® or Aux-in audio on
one speaker, just walk to another speaker and
press the Link button. The Bluetooth® or Aux-in
stream will be selectable just like a normal WiFi stream from the Harman Kardon Controller
app. You can repeat this procedure on multiple
speakers, allowing up to four speakers to play
back Bluetooth® or Aux-in audio over the network
simultaneously.
There are additional product settings accessible
via the Harman Kardon Controller app. To access
the ‘Settings’ page, select any room or product
from the right-hand sidebar. Select the same room
or product a second time to open the playback
control panel. On the left-hand side of the screen,
select the room or speaker to open the settings
page.
From the settings page, you can rename rooms,
change room icons, adjust the balance between
speakers in a stereo pair, adjust the volume level
of the product, and delete the room by pressing
the ‘Ungroup’ button. You may also check the
firmware version of your product, or upgrade the
firmware on your product from this page. (See
Upgrading your product, page 40).
39
Using the Link Button
Upgrading your Product
The Link button is used to switch between existing
audio streams on your network, or to switch to
the Aux-in source. If anyone is streaming audio
via Wi-Fi , Bluetooth®, or listening to audio via
the Aux-in connection on any other product on
the network, pressing the Link button will pull
the same audio content to this product. A long
press of the Link button for 3 seconds will enable
Party Mode, sending the same music to all the
products in your house.
The Link button LED is also where the system
status is indicated. The outer ring LED indicates
the audio input, while the inner slash LED indicates
the connection status.
When the outer ring is white it indicates that you
are listening to audio over the Wi-Fi streaming
source. When it is blue, you are listening to audio
over the Bluetooth® source. When it is green, you
are listening via the Aux-in source.
From time to time, Harman Kardon releases
firmware updates to enable new features or
to resolve issues. It is recommended that you
periodically check for new firmware updates and
install them, if available.
To check the currently installed firmware version
of your product, go to the product settings page
in the Harman Kardon Controller app. To access
the settings page, select any room or product
from the right-hand sidebar. Select the same room
or product a second time to open the playback
control panel. On the left-hand side of the screen,
select the room or product name again to open
the settings page. Select the “i” icon on the topright of the screen. A list of products in this room
along with their current firmware versions will
be displayed.
OPERATING YOUR OMNI 10, OMNI 20, ADAPT
If the inner slash LED is white, the product is
indicating the current Wi-Fi connection status:
slow pulsing means it is in Wi-Fi setup mode; fast
pulsing means it is connecting to a Wi-Fi network;
and solid white means it’s connected to a Wi-Fi
network. When the slash LED is blue, the product
is indicating the current Bluetooth® connection
status: when it is pulsing slowly, the product is
disconnected from any Bluetooth® source devices;
fast pulsing means it is in Bluetooth® pairing
mode; and solid blue means it’s connected to a
Bluetooth® source device. If the inner slash LED is
amber, the product is in Standby mode.
If any updates are available, a small downwardpointing arrow will be visible over the product
icons at the top of the ‘Settings’ page. If an
upgrade is available, tap the product icon. A
message will appear asking if you wish to upgrade
the product. Select yes, and the upgrade file will
be automatically downloaded from the internet
and the product will automatically upgrade. While
the product is upgrading, the Link button LED
will remain solid white. After the LED turns off
for several seconds, it will quickly flash on and off
indicating that the upgrade process is complete.
Repeat the process for all products in your Harman
Kardon HD Wireless Audio System.
IMPORTANT: Do not power off your product or
press any buttons during the upgrade process.
