4. Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off

The Genius Mini Soundbar 100 powers on automatically when connected to a powered USB port. There is no separate power button. To turn off the soundbar, simply disconnect the USB power cable.

Volume Control

The soundbar features an in-line volume control knob located on the audio cable. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. You can also adjust the volume directly from your connected device (computer, smartphone, etc.).

Audio Playback

Once connected, the soundbar will function as the audio output device for your system. Ensure your device's audio output is set to the 3.5mm jack if you have multiple audio options. Play any audio content (music, videos, games) from your connected device, and the sound will be routed through the soundbar.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Genius Mini Soundbar 100, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the soundbar. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosols, or abrasive solvents, as these may damage the finish or internal components.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the soundbar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
