Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Bazooka 24 Inch Double-Sided Bluetooth G2 Party Bar Speaker System.

Safety Information
Important Voltage Warning:
The Party Bar is designed for a 12V power connection. Connecting the Party Bar directly to higher voltage (24V, 36V, or 48V) vehicles will damage it. If your vehicle’s battery power and charging system is 24V, 36V, or 48V, you will need a voltage converter with 12V output (e.g., 48V-to-12V converter).
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures or direct flame.
- Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields.
- Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or installation.
