· If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the STANDBY LED on the rear will be Red after blinking Blue several times.
· If you use a device that uses the same frequency (5.8GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar, interference may cause some sound interruption.
· The maximum transmission distance of the wireless signal of the main unit is about 32.8 ft, but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless subwoofer the system may not operate at all, because the wireless signal cannot penetrate metal.
PRECAUTIONS · Wireless receiving antennas are built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the units away from water and moisture. · For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and Wireless Receiver Module (Sold separately) location is clear of any obstructions.

board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs. · Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you want to mount
the Soundbar on. Diameter: M5 Length: 1 3/8 inches or longer recommended.
