Important Safety Instructions

Your Unit is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your Unit from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for its installation, use, and maintenance. Please read the following safety instructions before operating your Unit. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this Unit near water.
• Clean only with a dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other Unit (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the ends where the plug is located, near convenience receptacles, or where they exit from the Unit.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Use only with the stand, tripod, or bracket specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the Unit. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/Unit combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• When using the QuickFit mounting feature, the attached VIZIO device shall not exceed 25 pounds in weight.
• Unplug this Unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the Unit has been damaged in any way, such as when the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the Unit, the Unit has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to your Unit.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your Unit. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner on your Unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility.
• When moving your Unit from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your Unit to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the Unit are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your Unit and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your Unit in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your Unit. Do not place any objects on the top of your Unit. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your Unit.
• Do not block the subwoofer ports. Allow for 1-2 inches of space around all sides for ventilation.
• ⚠️ WARNING: Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing causing hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). With continued exposure to loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable discomfort.
• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your Unit. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• The wall socket should be located near your Unit and be easily accessible.

• Do not use your Unit if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your Unit yourself.
• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your Unit is dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your Unit may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not install your Unit in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your Unit in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.
• Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your Unit.
• When unplugging your Unit, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your Unit will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.
• Insert the TV remote control batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarity may cause the battery to leak which can damage the TV remote control or injure the operator.

Unpairing or Disconnecting Your Soundbar

Unpairing the Soundbar from your VIZIO Mobile app

1. Press the name of your soundbar at the top of the VIZIO Mobile app Screen.
2. Under "Paired Devices" you will see the name of your soundbar. Press the Information button to open up the device info screen.

Using Bluetooth Mode

1. Your soundbar supports music streaming from devices with Bluetooth capability. (Device compatibility will vary, see your device's documentation for more information.)
2. If the input is changed back to Bluetooth, the most recently connected Bluetooth device will reconnect automatically.
3. If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect.

Maximizing Signal

A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection. Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:

• If you hear any break-up or you are disconnected while streaming music from your device, move the source device closer to the soundbar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight between the soundbar and the source device.
• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving these devices may improve Bluetooth range.

? Your soundbar is not equipped with a microphone, so it cannot operate as a hands-free device for a smartphone.

⚠️ Reduce the volume levels on your device and on the soundbar before pressing Play. High volume levels can damage your hearing.

Using the Physical Buttons

There are functions that are triggered by different button combinations on the soundbar. Buttons are located on the side.

Connecting a Subwoofer
