Stand-Mounting

Always install loudspeakers in accordance with applicable electrical and building codes.
- Install the loudspeaker according to its maximum weight. Check the specifications of your stand or pole to ensure it can support the loudspeaker's weight. Also, observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer.
- Do not mount multiple loudspeakers on the same stand or pole.
Always verify that the stand or pole is on a flat, level, and stable surface. Also, fully extend the legs of tripod-style stands, and ensure its legs do not present a trip hazard.
- Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with worn, damaged, or missing parts.
- Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. You may need to place additional weight (e.g., sandbags) on stand's base to improve stability. Do not attach banners or similar items to any part of a loudspeaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.
Unless you are confident that you can handle the loudspeaker's weight, ask another person to help you lift it onto the stand or pole.
- Make sure your cables are out of the way of performers, production crew, and audience so they will not trip over them, pulling the loudspeaker off the stand or pole.

Rechargeable Batteries

Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery, how you use this battery has a significant impact on its lifespan. With proper use and treatment, a lead-acid battery can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery.

General Usage Fully charge the battery before using it.

Charge the battery completely after each use.

Storage For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90^/ 32^) or exceedingly cold (less than 32^ / 0^) temperatures.

It is acceptable to leave your sound system plugged in. This will not overcharge the battery.

Troubleshooting

If the sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source or musical instrument. Also, try to reduce the overall volume of TransActive Wireless 2.

If there is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level. This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs.

If there is a high-pitched whistling noise when using microphones: This is probably feedback. Point the microphones away from the speaker.

If you can't hear the microphone over the music volume: Turn down the music volume from your source.
