System Overview

This wireless LightSpeaker® System is intended to install into any home easily and without any expensive and complicated wiring. You can install a typical system in your home in a few minutes and not have to worry about repairing walls or ceilings.

Plus there is no climbing intoAttics or

wriggling into crawl spaces!

LightSpeakers® deliver great sound into any room in your house. You screw it in like a bulb into most recessed fixtures, table lamps, and pendants, fitting a standard E27 Edison screw socket.

This unique patented LightSpeaker® has full bandwidth audio and “green” lighting together in one small package. Part of what makes this possible is the use of a 10W LED to provide the equivalent light of a 60W incandescent bulb while using 80% less power than the light bulb it replaced. Consider also that you may never have to replace this light; an operating life of 25,000 to 40,000 hours means that with average use this light should easily last 15 to 25 years.

Your system can use up to 4 pairs of LightSpeakers® to provide audio and lighting to your entire home. You can even divide your home into two unique areas where different music sources, sound and lighting control allow you to add music with integrated “green” lighting to places you only dreamed of having it before.

There's no wiring and no big [or small] speaker boxes. The wireless transmitter can be centrally located which will provide audio and, together with the remote, allow you to control your LightSpeakers® from anywhere in your home. The RF remote and the transmitter base station will control which source you listen to in a room as well as the level of the sound and the brightness of the light; this can be done from anywhere in the house, you don't need to be near the transmitter.

Plug two separate audio sources into your transmitter and deliver the music from your AM/FM Radio, TV or MP3, or any audio source, to any room in your house. To expand your system, additional LightSpeakers® are available from your local dealer.

This incredible patented system provides even greater flexibility to you as the owner; since you can take this system with you if you move; and when you do, it leaves no trace (holes that need to be covered) that the system was ever installed and used.

Please take a few moments to copy down the serial number and model number found on the side of your product box or on the product itself onto the 'Questions' page at the end of this manual.

Take just a minute to be sure you have everything you need to install your first wireless distributed audio system from ebode electronics.

Instruction Manual

Step 1: Decide which lights will be replaced with LightSpeakers®.

Your ebode electronics LightSpeakers® have been specifically designed to cover large areas, however if the location of your fixtures allow you to do so, you should think about how you use your room and where you are likely to spend most of your time. Then choose the fixtures that are most evenly spaced to your preferred listening position.

WARNING!

Turn off circuit breakers to all lighting fixtures you are working on!

A) Turn off the circuit breaker and light switch, to the bulbs you intend to replace with LightSpeakers®.
B) Remove the existing light bulb.

Step 2: Check your connector type. Your ebode electronics LightSpeaker® is designed to fit into a standard E27 socket. It will not fit any other type connector.

STOP!

Check your connector!

Step 3: Fit your LightSpeaker®.

Your LightSpeaker® is designed to fit directly into most recessed fixtures, table lamps and pendants by simply removing the existing light and, in the same manner as a light bulb, re-installing your LightSpeaker® in its place.

Because of all the technology packed into LightSpeaker, it is much larger than a normal light bulb, both in length and width. The best way to use Lightspeaker is in a fitting where you cannot actually see the sides of the product at all. As long as the front grille is unrestricted so you can hear the music and see the light, you do not really want to see where the sound and light comes from. In general this means that the ideal is a long, slim lampshade rather than one short and wide.

Please give this some thought when choosing a fitting for your LightSpeaker.

Please note - between the front edge of the E27 socket in your fitting and the front Grill of LightSpeaker you need to have a shade/fitting that will be at least 15 cm long and 14 cm wide

At www.ebodeelectronics.eu you can find a selection of lampmodels that will work with LightSpeaker

Step 4: Setting the Zone and L/R Stereo Switches.

A) Set the zone switch on the back of the LightSpeakers® to one, unless you are setting up a two zone system. For more on zones see Step 4B: Setting up a Two Zone System below after completing B and C below.
B) Set the left/right stereo switch. "L" if it is the left speaker, "R" if it is the right speaker.

C) Your LightSpeaker® system allows you to install up to 4 pairs of [or 8 total] speakers. If you are installing more than one pair of LightSpeakers® you will probably want to divide your home into zones.

If you are not setting up a two zone system, go to Step 5.

Step 4B: Setting up a Two Zone System

Your system allows you to set up two separate zones. Zones are the different spaces in your home where you want to listen to music, and are important because, later in this setup, your Transmitter will automatically seek out and identify each zone. This in turn will allow you to control the music and lighting in each zone separately.

Assign Zone 1 to one area and Zone 2 to the other unique area. (See below figure 2A)

Figure 2A

Here we have assigned Zone 1 to the family room, and Zone 2 to the kitchen area; these are areas where, even though you are listening to the same music [the same source], you may still want to control lighting brightness and speaker volume separately. For example persons listening to music in the kitchen may want to turn the music volume lower while those in the family room may want the turn the music louder and dim the lights. With two zones each group can have the music and lights the way they want them without affecting the other group.

Two-Zone System: Assign each LightSpeaker® to the zone where it will be installed.

A) Create a sketch of your anticipated zones (ie. Figure 2A).
B) Decide what zone the speaker will go into.
C) Place the LightSpeakers® in their respective zones. Set the zone switch, on the back of each LightSpeaker®, to the zone it will be placed.

This LightSpeaker® will be used in Zone 1 and is the right side of a stereo pair.

Step 5: Pairing The Transmitter to the speakers

A) Attach the power cord at the "DC IN" connector on the back of the Transmitter.
B] Turn on the Power Switch.
C) Pairing - This fully automated process will tell the transmitter where each LightSpeaker® is located, allow you to control each zone separately and make your LightSpeaker® system secure from other nearby systems. After you have set the zone switch on each speaker to the correct zone and you have installed your light speakers into the correct sockets in the correct zones (i.e. Zone 1 speakers in Zone 1, Zone 2 LightSpeakers™ in Zone 2) the job is nearly finished all that remains is allowing the transmitter discover where each of the installed LightSpeakers® is located.

1) To pair your LightSpeakers® to your transmitter, turn off all of the light switches in the areas where LightSpeakers® are located.

2] Be sure Transmitter is plugged in and the power button is on.
3) Push the button marked "PAIRING". The PAIRING LED on the transmitter will begin flashing RED.

4) Turn on all light switches that your LightSpeakers®

are connected to. The Small LED light on the speakers will begin to flash red and will turn green when the pairing is complete. The transmitter will automatically find each speaker and assign it to its proper zone.

5) If after 1 minute the LED on the LightSpeaker® has not turned “GREEN”, repeat steps 1-4.

a) If after 2 attempts the LED on the LightSpeaker® fails to turn green, try relocating the Transmitter closer to the LightSpeaker®

Step 6: Plugging in your sources.

Using the supplied audio cords, plug your MP3, CD Player, television or other desired sources to the back of the transmitter.

Attach 1 or 2 audio sources.

A) Locate the sources you want to use. They will have audio level outputs on them. Typically these are RCA or stereo headphone type jacks. You will need to have the proper cable from the source you want to attach to the Transmitter. You have two choices:

1) RCA to RCA cable
2) RCA to Stereo Mini Plug Cable

CAUTION!

Do not use the speaker outputs from your existing amplifier as this can damage the transmitter!

B) If you are attaching only one source it may be attached to either input but may be convenient to attach to source one.

Step 7: Enjoy your LightSpeakers®!

Operating the Transmitter and Remote Control:

The remote control and the transmitter are controlled in exactly the same manner.

When you push a button on the transmitter the small LED next to the

button will light up and remain lit until you push another button affecting either that zone or that source. The LEDs that are lit will tell what action the remote or transmitter is currently set to control.

Here are the steps to take to operate the Transmitter and Remote Control:

A] Press the zone you want to control
B) When the LED next to the button lights, that zone is active and will be playing the source that is currently lit. To change to a different source simply press the source with the "unlit" LED until the LED next to the source you are choosing lights.
C) Pressing Light once makes the light go On/Off
D) Pressing the + arrow above the light “on” button will increase the brightness of the light. Pressing the “-” arrow below the light on/off button will dim the light. The LED will flash when the arrows are pushed and will turn red and flash quickly when either the maximum or minimum brightness is reached.

E) Pressing and holding the ON/OFF button turns ON or OFF all Zones with source 1 playing if turned ON.
F) When Power is applied to a LightSpeaker® by the wall switch the light defaults to the ON state. This allows the LightSpeaker's LED to function like a light bulb.

NOTE: If your remote does not operate, or you have purchased additional remotes to be used with the same transmitter, please see the Trouble shooting section in this manual.

Helpful Hints

Installing and Removing the Lens:

A) Removal BEFORE your LightSpeaker® is installed.

1) While holding the LightSpeaker® in the palm of your hand, rotate the unit until one of the holding tabs is facing up.
2) Using a fingernail, common screwdriver or other small flat object, gently push down and then out on the tab, easing it out through the opening in the LightSpeaker® housing.

CAUTION: Do not touch the LED or Speaker Baffle with the lens off when the unit is hot, allow the unit to cool down before touching the LED.

3) When the lens pops up, gently pry it away from the housing, being gentle and making sure not to break the tabs.

B) Removal of the lens AFTER your LightSpeaker® has been installed.

1) There are three small indentations around the lens; with a small tip common screwdriver, nail file, paper clip or similar object, gently slip the tip into the indentation and pry the lens outward until the retaining tabs pull free.
2) To re-install the lens, align the tabs and the hole for the pairing LED, then push gently until the locking tabs snap into place.

Where to put the transmitter?

Typically, the perfect place for your transmitter is near your home entertainment system, if you have one. If you don't have a home audio system then you can chose a place that is centrally located to the rooms you will be transmitting the audio to. Remember the range of the system is approximately 15 meter radius circle of the transmitter, so as long as the distance from the transmitter to the farthest speaker in any direction is less than 15 meters, the placement of the transmitter is up to you.

Note: There is a maximum of two transmitters in one home and they need to be 8 meters* apart.

*Range depending on environmental conditions.

To illustrate how the Transmitter and Remote work, here are a few examples:

To play Source 1 in Zone 1

Press Zone 1

Press Source 1

To play Source 2 in Zone 1 after the source 1 is playing

Press Zone1

Press Source 2

To play Source 2 in Zone 2

Press Zone 2

Press Source 2

To play Source 1 in Zone 2 after already playing source 2 Press Zone 2 Press Source 1

To turn off lights in Zone 1

Press Zone 1
Press light button once

To Dim/Brighten
lights in Zone 1
Press Zone 1

Press light button up arrow and hold it, the light will increase in brightness, and when the light is at the level you want, release the button. When

you reach maximum brightness the lighting LED will flash quickly. To decrease the brightness press the light button down arrow and hold till the desired brightness is reached.

Remember: First Zone, then Action and you will be able to use the Remote and Transmitter functions intuitively.

Possible causes of interference with your

LightSpeaker® System

A) Metal studs, in fact any metal wall material, can cause the signal to be diminished or lost. This may also be a problem if your wall paper happens to be a foil type or have metal fibers in it.
B) Microwave ovens, when operating, may degrade or interrupt the signal from your transmitter. Usually this will only be a problem for those speakers in close proximity to the microwave. For best results, do not locate the transmitter near your microwave.
C) Certain portable phones operating in the 2.4 Ghz range, wireless computer routers, and other consumer electronics and toys using 2.4 Ghz may cause interference when operated too close to either the transmitter or the speakers.

Troubleshooting the Remote

If your remote does not operate when any of the buttons are pushed:

A] Check the batteries to be certain that they have a charge. Replace them if necessary.

The remote may need to be paired to the transmitter. To pair the transmitter:

A] Press the pairing button on the back of the transmitter. Five lights on the transmitter keypad (Zone 1, Zone 2, Source 1, Source 2 and the pairing light in the front) will light up and begin flashing;
B) Stand 60-120 cm away from the transmitter with the remote. Press and hold the Zone 2 key on the remote for about 4 seconds. All lights will stop flashing, then pairing is complete. In the event this does not work, try again, beginning at Step A.

If the remote still does not operate, try pairing one more time, contact your local dealer where you bought your system, or visit www.ebodeelectronics.eu.
