Operating Instructions

Using the Integrated Media Player (USB/SD/Bluetooth):

1. USB/SD Playback: Insert a USB drive or SD card containing MP3 files into the respective slot on the speaker. The player should automatically detect and begin playback.
2. Bluetooth Pairing:
   • Activate Bluetooth on your audio device (e.g., smartphone, tablet).
   • Select "Bluetooth" mode on the speaker's media player.
   • Search for available devices on your audio device. The speaker should appear as "GLI PRO" or a similar identifier.
   • Select the speaker to pair. Once paired, you can stream audio wirelessly.
3. Volume Control: Adjust the "Level Player/Line 2" knob for the overall volume of the media player.

LED Show Mode Control:

The LED Show Mode control knob offers several visual effects:

• OFF: Turns the LED lights off.
• Mood: Lights illuminate solidly.
• Meter: The column of lights simulates a digital volume meter.
• Mix: Lights illuminate according to the frequency spectrum of the audio signal. Bass frequencies produce more red light, mid-range more green, and treble more blue.
• Pulse: The audio signal causes the lights to pulse with one color (determined by the Color Select knob), with brightness determined by the Light Brightness knob.
• Party:
  • When the Color Select knob is fully counter-clockwise, LEDs cycle rapidly through a pre-programmed dynamic show of colors and meter levels.
  • Turning the Color Select knob clockwise from this position changes to a slower continuous cycle of solid colors.
  • Turning the Color Select knob further clockwise slows down how quickly the colors change.

Use the Light Brightness Control to adjust the intensity of the LED lights.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
• Storage: If storing the speaker for an extended period, ensure it is clean, dry, and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Periodically check the power cord for any damage. If damaged, have it replaced by qualified personnel.
