Wireless Speaker System User Guide

Wireless Connectivity 
The transmitter base and speaker can communicate over 
three wireless radio frequency (RF) channels. The default 
setting is AUTO. You may also manually select one of the 
three channels.
In AUTO, the transmitter base looks for and transmits 
on the most interference-free of the three channels. The 
speaker searches the channels until it finds the base.
It is possible that the speaker and base may lose their 
synchronized connection from time to time. You may also 
experience interference with the connection.
If you experience interference or lose the connection 
between speaker and transmitter base, you can force the 
M812 to re-synchronize. To do so, press and hold down 
the STANDBY key on the transmitter base. After three 
seconds, the LED to the left of the STANDBY key will 
begin to flash. Continue to hold down the STANDBY key 
until the LED stops flashing (about six seconds).
If you continue to experience interference, check to see 
if you can eliminate the source by moving other devices 
that use the same RF spectrum. For instance, laptop 
computers that use 802.11 wireless networking can 
conflict with your M812 wireless connection.
If problems persist, you can manually set the radio 
frequency (RF) channel to channel 1, 2 or 3. To do so, 
follow the instructions in Advanced Operations under the 
heading Set RF Channels (page 8).
Listening To Your M812
Remote Control Operation
To control the M812, the remote control must be pointed 
toward the front of the speaker. (In a multi-speaker 
system, any speaker that is synchronized can control the 
system.) The transmitter base does not have an IR sensor. 
Commands are transmitted to the base from the speaker. 
The M812 remote control uses two AAA-size batteries.
Power and Input Selection
To turn on the M812, press the STANDBY key on the 
transmitter base or the POWER key on the side of the 
speaker or the remote control. Select iPod, FM or AUX 
by pressing the input selector on the speaker or using the 
remote control.
iPod
With your iPod docked in the transmitter base, turn on 
your iPod.
Press 
 on the remote to start playing the iPod. (You 
can also press 
 on the iPod itself.)
FM
To change the radio tuning, press 
 or   on the remote 
or the TUNE +/– keys on the speaker. Hold the key down 
to make the tuner scan to the next strong signal. Press 
the key repeatedly to manually adjust the tuning.
The M812 can store up to six of your favorite FM stations. 
To PRESET a station, tune to the desired frequency, then 
press and hold the desired PRESET key on the remote 
until PRESET shows on the speaker display.
AUX
To play music from an auxiliary audio device, connect the 
device to the transmitter base. Control music play back 
using the controls on the auxiliary device.
Volume
There are two levels of volume control: local and master. 
The range for local and master volume is 0 to 80.
Local volume affects only one speaker at a time. To adjust 
local volume, use the + and – keys on the remote control 
while pointing the remote control at the speaker that you 
want to adjust. You can also adjust local volume using the 
VOLUME keys located on the side panel of the speaker.
Master volume allows you to adjust all speakers in a 
multi-speaker system from a single location. Master 
volume can be adjusted using the MASTER VOL keys on 
the remote control.
If you have a single-speaker system, you may use master 
and local volume interchangeably.
Treble and Bass
To control treble or bass levels, press the TREBLE or 
BASS keys on the remote control. The display on the 
speaker will indicate the levels.
Reset
To reset your M812 settings, press and hold the POWER 
key 
 on the side of the speaker for three seconds. See 
the Advanced Operation section for more information on 
the reset function.
