Setting up your Beatbox
Tilting Feet
Beatbox is designed to rest level. However, Beatbox comes with two tilting feet if you would rather it rest on a slightly back-tilting angle. This is ideal if you're going to be placing Beatbox in a low position and you want sound to be projected upwards. To install, simply push the pegs on the feet into the holes on the front corners of Beatbox.
Power
Plug the AC power cord into the back of Beatbox, as shown. Plug the pronged plug end into a power outlet.

Some helpful guidelines which will help you achieve the best performance from your Beatbox.
Your Beatbox is designed and engineered to sound great anywhere you place it. However, realising that every space is different, there are placements which will maximise the performance of your Beatbox. The home environment can present a challenge in choosing the best location for your Beatbox. The trick is to place the Beatbox in a location which will take advantage of the acoustic properties of your room and give you the best overall balance of sound.
Distance to the side walls, back wall and corners can have the biggest impact on the sound of your Beatbox. The closer the Beatbox is to a wall, floor or ceiling the more bass reinforcement you will receive. Maximum bass comes when it is placed in a corner.
The shape of Beatbox allows you to place it perfectly into a corner, giving you a great combo of space saving and deep bass. The surface you place your Beatbox on can also significantly impact the sound. Make sure you place your Beatbox on a solid surface to avoid unwanted distortion to the sound.
The height of your Beatbox in relation to your listening position can also affect the sound quality. Ideally, your Beatbox should be as close to ear level as possible and at least four feet away from your listening position for the best performance.
We encourage you to spend the time to experiment with the location of your Beatbox. Trial and error is the best way to hear how your Beatbox reacts in your environment. Take your time to find the ideal location to ensure you experience the best sound quality your Beatbox can offer.
Troubleshooting
The table can help solve most operating problems with your Beatbox. First, follow these precautions:
- Remove your iPod®/iPhone® from the dock completely.
- Reseat it in the dock firmly.
- Make sure your iPod/iPhone has the latest software installed.
