– Never carry the rechargeable
battery by the poles.
– Avoid bumps and abrupt
stresses.
– Avoid electrostatic charge or
discharge. Never use syn­thetic cloths or sponges to clean the rechargeable bat­tery; instead only use cloths moistened with water without any additives.
– Only charge the recharge-
able battery when it is installed in the device. A normal car battery charger is not suitable.
WARNING
Risk of injury! If used incorrectly, corrosive battery acid may leak out of the rechargeable battery.
– Avoid any contact with it.
– In the event of accidental
contact, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
CAUTION
Extended listening at high volumes may lead to hearing loss.
– To avoid damage to health, avoid extended lis­tening at high volumes.
– At high volumes, always
maintain a certain distance to the device and never hold your ears directly up to a speaker.
– If an audio system is set to
full volume, it may produce very high sound pressure. This may have psychologi­cal consequences and also cause physical injury. Chil­dren and pets are particularly at risk. Set the volume control of the device to a low setting when switching on the device.

NOTICE
Improper use may lead to dam­age or fire.
– Do not place open flames
such as burning candles or similar on the device.
– Do not place the device in
direct sunlight.
– Do not place the device near
heat sources (e.g. heaters, ovens).
– Ensure sufficient ventilation.
– Do not cover the vents with
curtains, blankets, posters or similar. Heat build-up in­side the unit can shorten its lifetime.
NOTICE
Gross misuse and incorrect care are the main reasons for damage to high-performance rechargeable batteries.
– Avoid deep discharge of
under 20% for optimal re­chargeable battery power.
– Recharge your rechargeable
battery frequently.
– Store your rechargeable bat-
tery in a cool, but frost-free area, ideally at 15 °C. High-
er temperatures result in a higher rate of self-discharge and shorten the intervals between charges.
– Do not expose the recharge-
able battery to direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
– A deep discharge damages
the rechargeable battery cells. The most frequent cause of deep discharge is prolonged storage or failure to use a partially discharged rechargeable battery. Only store the rechargeable bat­tery once it is fully charged.
NOTICE
The isolation pads can produce discolouration on sensitive surfaces.
– On parquet, varnished wood
and similar surfaces, you should stick felt gliders to the rubber feet of the device or put a blanket under it. This will prevent discolouration of the floor over the long term.

Introduction
The ROCKSTER AIR is an active speaker system. By connecting multiple ROCKSTER AIR in mas­ter-companion operation, you can even supply large rooms with sound completely. The combination with our larger Rockster speaker is also possible.
The power can be supplied via the mains supply or the integrated rechargeable battery. Thus, the ROCKSTER AIR is also ideal for out­door events.
The following inputs are available for your source devices:
• Bluetooth
®
• Stereo line (3.5mm jack)
• Mono instrument (6.3 mm jack)
• Mono microphone input (XLR)
Each mixer channel has its own vol­ume control. This allows you to play multiple sources at the same time and mix them.
There are also specific controls for the master volume and sound adjust­ment (treble/bass). This allows you to adjust the sound to perfectly suit the local acoustics.

2. Turn on the Bluetooth® function on your source device (e.g. smart­phone).
3. Let your source device search for Bluetooth
®
devices. You will find more information about this in the user manual of your source device. After the search run, the “ROCKSTER AIR” should also be present in the list of detected devices.
4. Select the ROCKSTER AIR from the list of detected devices. The ROCKSTER AIR will now play back all sounds that would other­wise be played back by your source device.
5. If you would like to pair a second source device, repeat steps 1 to 4 with the second device.
If your Bluetooth® source device
is a smartphone, you should activate flight mode if possible to prevent playback from being inter­rupted by an incoming call.
• You can connect a Blue-
tooth® source device with USB charging cable to the CHARGING jack
(22)
to provide power. This connection supplies up to 1A of power, also when operating the ROCKSTER AIR with the rechargeable battery.
Terminating the connection
To terminate the Bluetooth® connec­tion, switch the Bluetooth® function on your source device off.

Master/Companion Mode
You can connect two ROCKSTER AIR units to provide a stereo cluster. In mono mode, it is generally possible to create a chain of any number of companions behind one master.
To prepare master/companion mode:
1. Make sure that all ROCKSTER AIR units are switched off.
2. You can determine the
playback of the stereo channels with the OPERATING MODE switch (18) on the master:
L – Playback of the left channel.
MONO – Both channels are
mixed.
R – Playback of the right channel.
(18)
(17)
The respective other channel is trans­mitted to the companion(s) via the LINE OUT/LINK OUT jack (17) of the master.
3. Connect the LINE OUT/LINK OUT jack (17) of the master to the LINE IN/MIC/ LINK IN jack (12) of the companion with an XLR extension cable.
(12)
(11)
4. On the companion, push the LINE IN/ MIC/LINK IN switch (11) to the “LINK IN” position. Thus, the controls of the mixing console are deactivated and the volume is set to maximum.
5. To connect more ROCKSTER AIR units, connect the LINE OUT/LINK OUT jack
(17) with the LINE IN/MIC/LINK IN jack (12) of the next companion and also
set its LINE IN/MIC/LINK IN switch (11) to the “LINK IN” position.
6. Now, first switch the master on and use the

25 • ROCKSTER AIR
The maintenance-free internal rechargeable battery is charged as soon as the ROCKSTER AIR is con­nected to the mains supply.
The rechargeable battery is only precharged when delivered. You must fully charge the rechargeable battery before first start-up.
• While charging, the BATTERY STATUS LEDs
(20)
will indicate the charging level with a sequential light.
A complete charge cycle for the internal rechargeable battery takes approx. 7 hours.
After charging, the built-in charger switches to trickle charge and keeps the rechargeable battery fully charged for several weeks.
The maximum playing time depends on the amount of low tones con­tained in the material played back. A large amount of low frequency tones (bass tones) will reduce the maxi­mum operating time. If the recharge­able battery is fully charged and you are playing back pop music at maximum volume, the operating time amounts to approx. 6 hours and up to 24 hours at low volume.
Displaying the battery power
Briefly push the BATTERY STATUS button
(21).
Now, the LEDs
(20)
show the charge level of the rechargeable battery – every LED represents 25%
capacitance: When the rechargeable battery is full, all four LEDs light up. If only one is illuminated, the remaining capacitance amounts to 25%. No LED will be illuminated when the recharge­able battery is empty
.
NOTICE
A deep discharge irreparably damages the rechargeable battery.
– Charge the rechargeable
battery once the indicator displays a charge level of 25%.
To protect the rechargeable battery, the ROCKSTER AIR has deep dis­charge protection, which switches the device off once the threshold is reached.

Inserting and removing the rechargeable battery
CAUTION
A short circuit of the rechargea­ble battery can cause a fire.
– Protect the rechargeable
battery contacts.
– Keep conductible objects
away from the rechargeable battery.
1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
2. Remove the six screws of the rechargeable battery compartment cover
(10)
.
3. Remove the rechargeable battery compartment cover. In the rechargeable battery com­partment, you will see the re­chargeable battery with a red and black cable with plug shoes.
• The red cable always belongs to the
positive pole (+) of the rechargeable battery.
