3 YOU HAVE TAKEN A LEAP OF FAITH. A step towards a world of wireless bliss. It takes a great deal of courage to liberate yourself from the chains of speaker cables and ordinary stereo systems. But you have jumped right into it. FOR THIS WE SALUTE YOU. We have done everything in our power to make your BEAT speaker as simple and user friendly as possible. Hopefully this manual will answer any questions you might have. Thank you for buying our product. Thank you for joining our movement. 4 BEAT is for everyone and anyone who wants to set their music free. To make this happen compatibility is a top priority for us. Check out the list of icons to see if youre all set. iPhone, iPod, iPod classic, iPod nano and iPod touch are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. iPad is a trademark of Apple Inc. APPLE COMPATIBILITY 5 6 You can place BEAT just about anywhere you like and get the FullRoom stereo perspective. Still, a bit of good advice wont hurt:
If you place BEAT against a hard backdrop with about 20 cm of air, you allow the sound to reflect of the wall. This gives you a deeper bass and an even fuller soundscape. If you place BEAT in a corner close to the walls, it takes the edge of the FullRoom stereo experience. We wont recommend it, but you are your own master. 7 PLACEMENT WALL FREE CORNER 8 Connecting with the 30-pin transmitter is easy as pie. Just plug it in your iPod, iPhone or iPad and press play on the device. If you have several BEAT speakers in your house, the sound will follow you around. When the speakers detect the transmitter, they will automatically start playing after a few seconds. The 30-pin transmitter has a range of up to 10 m in open space. If youre out of range, BEAT stops playing. When youre back in range, it starts playing automatically. Remember: You need to bond your BEAT speaker with the transmitters you use. But only the first time you use them. To bond means putting a transmitter on BEATs list of known sources. The very first time you want to bond a transmitter with your BEAT speaker, you press the button on the speaker once. To add additional new transmitters press the button twice and add them to the list of known sources. CONNECT 30-PIN 9 iPad, iPhone & iPod 30 PIN BEAT 10 You can liberate the music from your PC/MAC without blinking. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Plug the USB transmitter in your computer. 2. Make sure that your BEAT speaker is listed as SKAA USB TX sound source in the control panel on your PC/MAC. For the most part this will happen automatically. 3. Play your music, audio books, movies or games. 4. Press the button on your BEAT speaker to bond, if you havent used the transmitter before. This makes it a known source.
(Press once if it is the first trans-
mitter you use with your BEAT speaker. Twice if its not). The range of the transmitter is up to 30 m in open space. iPad, iPhone & iPod 30 PIN CONNECT USB 11 BEAT COMPUTER USB BEAT 12 You can connect with a mini jack, as well. But in our world wireless always trumps wires. So if you use both the wireless and the mini jack connection at the same time, BEAT will automatically choose the wireless input. To play from the mini jack source, unplug the wireless transmitter. TV MOBILE CONNECT MINI JACK 13 MOBILE SOURCE MINI JACK BEAT 14 Connect an Apple TV or an Apple Airport Express to your BEAT to stream music from iTunes over AirPlay. If one room of high-end sound is not enough for you, just add extra Airports and BEATs. COMPUTER USB CONNECT AIRPLAY BEAT 15 iPad, iPhone &
iPod touch APPLE TV, AIRPORT EXPRESS BEAT 16 Want to charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod and listen to music at the same time, you say? Impossible is nothing, we say! Just plug the USB charge cable to the 30-pin transmitter and youre good to go. You can also connect the 30-pin transmitter to your Apple Dock to play and charge simultaneously. The transmitter is compatible with Apple iPod Dock, Apple iPad Dock and Apple iPhone Dock. The USB charge cable also works for syncing the device with your computer.
