3.4. Initial setup steps
• Locate the 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable and insert one end into the Line Out port of the
Bond 3. Then insert the other end into the 3.5mm Line In port or headphone port on an amplifier/speaker.
• Locate the Micro USB power cable and insert the small end into the power input on the
rear panel.
• Then insert the large USB end of the cable into a plug that contains a USB port and plug
into a socket.
• Turn on the power switch at the socket and you should hear “Power on – Wi-Fi mode” if
the Bond 3 is connected properly to your amp/speakers.
Note: Some amplifiers and speakers won’t have a 3.5mm jack port or headphone port. Therefore, you will need to purchase a 3.5mm to RCA cable or Optical cable if this is the case.
