Setup

Mounting the Speakers

The speakers come with integrated mounting brackets for flexible placement. These brackets allow for both vertical and horizontal orientation, and the Posi-Lock design ensures the speakers remain securely at your desired angle.

• Remove the Bracket: Loosen the knobs on the top and bottom of the speaker to detach the mounting bracket.
• Secure the Bracket: Use appropriate screws (not included) to securely attach the bracket to your desired surface (wall, ceiling, etc.). Ensure the surface can support the speaker's weight.
• Attach the Speaker: Slide the speaker back onto the mounted bracket and tighten the knobs to secure it. Adjust the angle as needed.

Wiring and Power Connection

The system consists of one active (main) speaker and one passive (pairing) speaker. The active speaker contains the amplifier and Bluetooth module, and it powers the passive speaker.

• Connect Speakers: Use the provided 25 ft. speaker cable to connect the active speaker to the passive speaker. Ensure correct polarity: red wire to red terminal (+), black wire to black terminal (-).
• Connect Power: Plug the speaker AC adapter into the active speaker's power input. Then, connect the AC adapter to a power outlet. The active speaker will power on, and a blue LED will indicate its status.

Operating Instructions

Bluetooth Pairing

Once powered on, the active speaker will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode, indicated by a flashing blue LED. To connect your device:

• Activate Bluetooth: Enable Bluetooth on your smartphone, tablet, or other compatible device.
• Select Speaker: Search for available Bluetooth devices and select "Sound Appeal" (or similar name, check your speaker's specific Bluetooth ID if different).
• Confirm Connection: Once paired, the blue LED on the active speaker will become solid, and you will hear an audible confirmation.

Music Playback

After successful pairing, you can stream audio from your device. Volume control is primarily managed through your connected device. The system delivers monophonic sound, combining left and right channels for consistent audio across both speakers.

Maintenance

These speakers are designed for durability and are weatherproof. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the speaker cabinets with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Placement: While weatherproof, installing the speakers under an overhang or in a location protected from direct, prolonged exposure to extreme weather (e.g., heavy rain, snow, intense sunlight) can extend their lifespan.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cables for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the active speaker and a working power outlet. Check if the power outlet is functional.
• No Sound:
  • Verify that the active speaker is powered on (blue LED is solid).
  • Confirm your device is successfully paired via Bluetooth.
  • Check the volume level on both your connected device and the speaker system.
  • Ensure the speaker cable connecting the active and passive speakers is securely attached with correct polarity.
• Poor Bluetooth Connection/Range: Ensure your Bluetooth device is within the 100-foot operating range of the active speaker. Minimize obstacles between the device and the speaker.
• Distorted Sound: Reduce the volume on your connected device or the speaker system. Ensure audio files are not corrupted.
