NOTES
•Do not connect the power cord of this product or your TV to a wall outlet until all connections
between components are complete.
•Before moving or installing this product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
•If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the
STANDBY LED on the rear will be Red after blinking Blue several times.
•If you use a device that uses the same frequency (5.8GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar,
interference may cause some sound interruption.
•The maximum transmission distance of the wireless signal of the main unit is about 32.8 ft, but may
vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the
main unit and the wireless subwoofer the system may not operate at all, because the wireless
signal cannot penetrate metal.
PRECAUTIONS
•Wireless receiving antennas are built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the units away from water
and moisture.
•For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and
Wireless Receiver Module (Sold separately) location is clear of any obstructions.

•A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:
– A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth
device or the Soundbar.
– It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or ofce partition.
– It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical
equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
•Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
•The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
•In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
•The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit. The connection will be
automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality
may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.
•This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.
