• Auxiliary Input: Connect an external audio device (e.g., MP3 player, laptop) to the AUX INPUT (RCA jacks).

6.3 Bluetooth Pairing

1. Ensure the speaker is powered on.
2. Press the 'MODE' button on the control panel until 'BLUETOOTH' mode is selected on the display. The Bluetooth icon will flash, indicating it's ready for pairing.

6.5 TWS (True Wireless Stereo) Function

The TWS function allows you to pair two AS10B US speakers for a true stereo sound experience.

1. Ensure both AS10B US speakers are powered on and in Bluetooth mode, but not yet paired with any device.
2. On one of the speakers (this will be the master unit), press and hold the 'TWS' button for a few seconds. The display will indicate TWS pairing mode.
3. The two speakers will automatically connect to each other. Once connected, the master unit's display will show 'TWS' and the Bluetooth icon will flash.
4. Now, pair your Bluetooth device to the master speaker as described in Section 6.3. Audio will now play in stereo across both speakers.

6.6 Tone Control and Master Volume

• TREBLE / BASS: Use these knobs to adjust the high and low frequencies of the overall sound output.
• ECHO: Adjust the 'ECHO' knob to add reverberation to the microphone input.
• MASTER LEVEL: This knob controls the overall output volume of the speaker. Adjust it carefully to avoid distortion. The 'LEVEL' LEDs indicate the output level, and the 'PEAK' LED will light up if the signal is clipping, indicating potential distortion. Reduce the volume if the 'PEAK' LED frequently illuminates.

7. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the speaker cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the speaker in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
