Easy Setup Guide

Step 1. Place individual SoundSticks (satellites) beside monitor/computer.
Place subwoofer as desired, but placement under desk provides best performance.

Step 2. Connect satellite cables to the dual subwoofer cable. Also connect the input cable to the subwoofer input cable jack.

Step 3. Insert SoundSticks input cable into the computer or other audio device.

Step 4. Plug power cord into power adapter.

Step 5. Plug power adapter into subwoofer.

Step 6. Plug power cord into wall receptacle.

Step 7. Push the subwoofer volume knob/power ON/OFF button. Unit is on when the LED is lit. Use the subwoofer volume knob to balance the subwoofer's volume with that of the satellites.

Step 8. Turn on Soundsticks Wireless. (Unit will automatically enter pairing mode.) Put Bluetooth-enabled device in pairing mode. Select "Soundsticks Wireless" on device's pairing list. Passcode (if required) is 0000. When pairing is successful, Soundsticks Wireless' Bluetooth LED will illuminate.

Step 9. Adjust volume level by touching + or – button. Touching both the + and – buttons mutes the audio. When muted, touching either button unmutes the audio.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible problem	Solution
No sound from SoundSticks speaker system.	No power to subwoofer.	Ensure power supply is connected to live power source and is properly connected to subwoofer. Please note: When subwoofer is powered, a power LED should light.
	Power adapter plug not inserted correctly.	Place plug with arrow symbol facing UP into the subwoofer.
	No volume or low volume.	Touch the volume "Up" (+) pad on the volume control satellite to unmute and/or increase the system volume level. Note: Touching the volume "Down" (–) pad lowers the system volume. Touching both (+) and (–) volume control pads at the same time will mute the system.
No sound from subwoofer, only satellites.	Subwoofer volume control set at minimum.	Rotate subwoofer volume control clockwise until relative volume level is appropriate.
No sound from satellites, only subwoofer.	Satellites not connected to subwoofer.	Check connection of satellites to subwoofer.
High frequencies sound dull.	Satellites not positioned properly.	Position and tilt (angle) loudspeakers toward listener. The sound from the satellites is very directional due to the four-element linear array design.
No sound from Bluetooth device.	Device not paired.	Pair device with Soundsticks Wireless. Bluetooth LED illuminates when pairing is successful.

This product is intended to be supplied by a listed direct plug- in power unit marked "Class 2" and output rated 16V DC minimum 1.5 A.
