Li Ion Battery Safety Instructions:

Misuse can result in the batteries short-circuiting, the insulator melting and damage to the safety valves or safety mechanisms, leading to leakage, heat generation or rupturing. Please observe the following precautions when using batteries.

• Do not dispose in fire or expose to high temperature. [60^]
• Do not under any circumstances insert the batteries with the positive and negative poles reversed.
• If the connection with the charger does not operate correctly, do not force the battery in, but instead check the direction of the positive and negative poles.

AudioRock™ Overview

This wireless portable AudioRock is intended to install in a few minutes. Since it runs on batteries it increases the flexibility of where these speakers can be used. The transmitter

can support up to 8 wireless AudioRocks and provide audio to your entire outdoor area. You can even divide your outdoor spaces into unique areas, selecting between two sources, with variable sound control allowing you the flexibility to easily configure and install an outdoor system to be enjoyed by all.

Additionally, the system can be expanded by adding our patented LightSpeakers®. These LightSpeakers install in minutes and fit into table lamps as well as hanging lamps or anywhere you find a standard E27 Edison socket. The LED provides "green" lighting and the speaker provides outstanding sound throughout your home. The LightSpeakers are available from your retailer or at www.ebodeelectronics.eu.

The entire system provides even greater flexibility to you as the owner because you can take it with you if you move. If you do need to remove it, it leaves no trace that the system was ever installed or used.

What's in this Box

Wireless AudioRock

Owner's Manual

One Charger

One Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery

NOTE: The AudioRock can only be used with the ebode electronics wireless LightSpeaker transmitter. It cannot be used or operated without the LightSpeaker transmitter.

Remote and transmitter also sold separately.

Installation Considerations

Remember the outdoor line-of-sight range of the system is up to 35 meter, so as long as the distance from the transmitter to the farthest AudioRock, in any direction, is less than 35 meter, the placement of the transmitter is up to you.

Selecting AudioRock Locations

Your wireless AudioRock can be placed anywhere it is convenient in your outdoor listening areas. You can even space multiple AudioRocks so that no one speaker is further than 10 meter from the other speaker. This provides the best and most even coverage for outstanding sound quality.

Setting Up Zones

If you have more than one AudioRock and you want to set up separate listening zones in your outdoor area, you have the option of setting up a second zone. An audio zone is any area or group of areas where you want the same audio source playing and want the volume of the speakers to be about the same. If you want an area to have different volume level or play a different set of music then use the two zone option. Please note that there is no right or wrong way to do this, it is simply how you think you want to use your AudioRock system. If you try an option and don't like it, it is easy to change and try another one.

NOTE: You have some control over an area being on or off by using the power switch that is on the rear of the AudioRock. Simply turn it off and there will not be any sound in that area.

Preparing AudioRock for Installation

Please charge your battery for your rock by plugging in the power supply and inserting the battery into the charger. Allow at least 8 hours for the first charge.

NOTE: Leaving the battery in the charger for periods longer than 24 hours may reduce battery life. When an uncharged battery is placed in the charger the LED on the front of the charger will shine RED; when charging is complete the LED will turn GREEN.

Charging the AudioRock Battery

Step 1: Plug adapter into the charger.

Step 2: Plug adapter into AC socket.

Step 3: Slide battery into the charger making sure that it is inserted correctly and that you do not have to force the battery into the charger.

Step 4: When the battery is fully charged the LED on the front of the charger will turn GREEN.

Step 5: Remove Battery from charger and place it into the AudioRock.

Installation Instruction

Step 1: After the battery has been charged, install it into the battery compartment. Be sure it is pushed all the way in. Secure the battery by sliding the tabs over the battery until they are pointing straight at each other.

Step 2: Be sure the zone switch on the back of your AudioRock is set to zone 1 unless you are setting up a two zone system. If you intend to set up a two zone system, be certain the zone switch is set to the number corresponding to the zone you intend to place it in.

Pairing the AudioRock to the Transmitter

Before you can begin using and enjoying your new portable wireless AudioRock system, it is necessary to "teach" your AudioRock the identity of the transmitter you are using; this teaching is called "pairing" and is very easy to do.

Step 1: With the Transmitter power on [LED on front will be lit], find and press the pairing button on the back of the unit. You may need a sharp object, like a pen, to press the button in. When you do, you will see the LED on the front of the transmitter flash.

This means the unit is in the "pairing" mode.

Step 2: Quickly set the power switch, located at the back of your AudioRock, to "ON" and press the pairing button also located on the back of the AudioRock.

You have a total of 30 seconds to get this done. If you take too long, leave the units you have already switched the power on, ON.

Press the pairing button again and proceed through the other areas.

You will know if the unit is ON because LEDs on the back of your AudioRock will light up as you flip the switch.

If no LEDs light up, check to be certain the battery is charged.

When the pairing light turns solid GREEN, the pairing is complete. You have about 30 seconds to get this done. If this is not enough time to pair all of your AudioRocks, simply repeat for each AudioRock in your system.

Step 3: When all units are paired, you are ready to start using and controlling the system.

Step 4: If you have more AudioRocks, LightSpeakers or other speakers designed to work on the LightSpeaker network, make sure they are all paired. If not, pair them per the instructions in the owner's manual for that speaker. When all units are paired, you are ready to start enjoying your entire LightSpeaker network.
