An Important Note on using Batteries

Your TIC wireless speakers use standard C-cell batteries. The wireless speaker(s) battery module uses 6x AAA batteries. The Remote Control unit uses 1x A23 battery available in most drug stores.

WARNING! do not mix battery types e.g. zinc with alkaline batteries or new and used batteries. Do not leave batteries in this product for long periods of time. The Red LED will light and warn of power loss or fluctuation.

Connecting the Transmitter to your music source

Note: Always make sure you are using an operational audio output. Common color coding for RCA type plug use with audio outputs are Red & White. There are basically two types of audio outputs you will use; fixed level audio outputs are unaffected by the units volume control and are preferred. Variable level audio outputs like headphone jacks and others can be adjusted by the music sources volume control and care must be taken to ensure they are set loud enough to be transmitted to the wireless speakers.

Wireless Remote Control

TIC wireless speaker(s) Remote Control has an unobstructed range of approximately 80'/30M.

1. Carefully remove the rear battery cover and only use 1xMN21/23 or 23A battery.
2. Point the remote directly at the wireless speakers, switch speakers on/off or adjust volumes up or down.
3. You will note the Red LED flash as the remote buttons are operated.

Note: if the Red LED light dims or does not flash in operation replace the remote controls battery as this could cause intermittent or poor operation.

Simple 8 Step Quick Start Guide!

1. Carefully unpack your new TIC wireless speakers and check all components included, carefully. (Listed under Components above)

1. Before exterior placement & installation; place your new wireless speaker(s) near a 120v AC mains socket, find their transformer/ mains power supply(s) cord and plug them in carefully.

1. Lift the unit(s) and switch-on with the silicone covered rocker switch. You should see the Green LED light up. Note: the Red LED light next to it only lights when warning of low power. This is useful when the units are running on battery power.

2. Now that the units are plugged in and "on", Green light lit, find the Remote Control. Remove the battery cover and place the battery (23A) in the remote control carefully noting the battery is aligned the right way. Press the "ON" button on the remote control; you should see a Red LED light on the Remote flash as you do this, ensuring the remote is powered

1. Simultaneously with your pressing the ON switch of the remote control you should hear a "pop" or feedback sound from your wireless speaker(s). This ensures the units are powered, working and waiting to receive a wireless signal from the broadcast transmitter.

1. Now go to the wireless broadcast Transmitter. Find the transmitters mains/transformer power supply and plug in. Attach the other end to the transmitter and you should see a Green LED light showing the unit is powered and ready to transmit.

2. There are two music source cables supplied with your TIC wireless speaker(s). Note: the transmitter only takes a 3.5mm jack input. (1) This cable supplied is a 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack that is useful for connecting your wireless speaker(s) transmitter to CD, MP3, IPods, computers, headphones and other modern devices which have a 3.5mm jack output connection. (2) This connection cable supplied has a 3.5mm jack at one end for the transmitter connection and a "Y" type, 2x RCA plugs at the other. This cable is useful for connecting your transmitter to RCA type plug outputs like those found on TV's, audio amplifiers, AV receivers and devices which only have RCA plug type audio outputs. Note: such audio outputs usually follow the standard audio output color code of Red & White.

1. It is important you ensure your choice of music source or connection method is operating and producing a signal the transmitter can broadcast to the speaker(s). A quick check method is prior to plugging in the transmitter make sure the chosen music source is producing sound normally. An earphone connection is the easiest way as the music will stop when connected in this fashion and you can ensure the signal passes to the transmitter. Please ensure sufficient Volume is being produced, the right “mode” if any, is chosen and that the “mute” switch is not on.

Once connected properly sit back and enjoy!

Note: If you have more than one TIC wireless speaker. It is possible for your wireless speakers to become “Out of Phase” where switching “On” using the Remote Control switches on one speaker but not the other. In this case, remove the batteries, completely power down the system. Plug in the speakers together, switch on using the rocker switch, then switch on using the remote. You should hear the unit(s) “pop” or a feedback noise as power surges through the internal amplifier. The units have now regained phase.

Exterior Installation

Some general notes should you install your TIC wireless speaker(s) outdoors.

1. Select a reasonably level surface for the installation of your new TIC outdoor speakers. For surface speakers this will prevent movement or excessive vibration during use. This will also ensure more uniform sound dispersion and better speaker resonance.

2. *Wireless: In normal circumstances we suggest placing the transmitter at a height of 1 meter above the receiving units. (Because land will absorb radio waves produced by the transmitter) Within the maximum area of coverage (unobstructed), the zero boundary point is 100 meters or approx. 300 ft.. Reception will gradually decay when it is beyond the zero boundary point. At this time you can raise the speaker, such as place it at a height of 12'' / 30 CM+ above the earth. The reception of the wireless rock speakers will be greatly improved.

3. Do not place your TIC outdoor speakers in a depression or area where water pools or in the direct path of garden sprinklers.

4. Wherever possible avoid long term exposure of your new TIC outdoor speakers to excessive high temperatures, chlorinated solvents, acids such as those often contained in fertilizers and other solvents which have the potential to eventually wear the internal components prematurely.

5. There is no requirement for customer to open this unit for any kind of operation or maintenance. Doing so will void the warranty.

6. Ensure the base main power switch is in the "off" position when not in use, otherwise the unit still consumes power in the "stand by" mode.

7. Avoid any shocks, high vibration, collisions or sudden impacts to the speaker unit or any of its components
