Parrot SOUND SYSTEM INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Parrot SOUND SYSTEM sound system. The Parrot SOUND SYSTEM is a wireless sound system based on the Bluetooth technology. Plug in the speakers and use your Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone, smartphone, PDA, computer, or MP3 player to stream your MP3 tracks to the speakers. Your device acts as the transmitter and the speakers act as the receiver. Transmitting music in this way is known as streaming. Parrot SOUND SYSTEM h s i l g n E The Parrot SOUND SYSTEM also features a line-in socket that can be used for any music stored on an MP3 player, CD player, and so on. In this case, an audio lead is required to connect the device to either of the two speakers (supplied). Go to www.parrot.biz/www.parrotsound.com and select Support to find the list of Bluetooth devices with streaming capability. Parrot SOUND SYSTEM
KIT CONTENTS The kit includes:
Two Parrot SOUND SYSTEM speakers The RCA audio lead Two mains leads Four adhesive pads. Two brackets. Four screws for fixing the wall brackets to the speakers Two adhesive pads to be fixed to the rear of each speaker if wall-mounting. Two removable black magnetic speaker covers The user guide. The quickstart guide. The Parrot product guide USING FOR THE FIRST TIME Connecting your source device Switch the speakers on. Wait for the LEDs to turn blue.. On your Bluetooth source device, search for peripherals (refer to your phones user guide or check out our website at www.parrot.biz/www.parrotsound.com). Select Parrot SOUND SYSTEM. You are prompted to enter a PIN code: Enter 0000 on your source device. The Parrot SOUND SYSTEM is ready to receive music. Subsequent connections will be established from your device, without any need to re-enter the PIN code. Note: holding down the for three seconds restores the factory settings. Playing music Press Play on your source device and the music will automatically be sent by Bluetooth to the speakers. Play, forward/rewind, stop and pause can be controlled via the source device. The volume can be adjusted on the speakers using the buttons. To connect your source device, press the . Wait for the blue LEDs to start flashing quickly. The system is ready, connect your Bluetooth device. CONFIG Volume + ; Volume -
LED LED To mute the speakers (i.e. turn the sound off), hold down for two seconds. To cancel the mute, press or Only one source device can be connected at any one time to stream music to the speakers. Note: some source devices may disconnect from the system if they are not used for a certain amount of time or if they are moved away. To use the Parrot SOUND SYSTEM again, you might need to re-establish the connection from the source device. No action needs to be performed on the Parrot SOUND SYSTEM system. Refer to the user guide for your source device or check out our website at www.parrot.biz/www.parrotsound. com for further details on the appropriate procedure.
Parrot SOUND SYSTEM PLACING THE SPEAKERS Wall-mounted:
Use the bracket and the two screws supplied. Do not forget to stick the adhesive pads to each speaker. USE WITH THE RCA SOCKET Use the RCA socket to connect a device (Discman, MP3 player, hi-fi) Connect the RCA cable to one of the speakers - the music will be sent by Bluetooth to the other speaker. h s i l g n E Adhesive pads Placing on the floor Stick the four adhesive pads beneath each speaker. Adhesive pads The RCA socket is active when no Bluetooth device is connected. Note: if you are using the Bluetooth feature and RCA socket at the same time: the first device to be connected and active (i.e. playing the music) will take priority. For example, while you are listening to music by Bluetooth, you will not be able to use the device on the RCA socket. You must first stop streaming from the Bluetooth device to free up the speakers and you can then use the device connected to the RCA socket. If you are using the RCA socket, you must stop using the device before you can start streaming by Bluetooth. Parrot SOUND SYSTEM
MEANING OF THE LEDs The blue LED means that the system is being used in stereo COLOUR MEANING Alternating blue/red The two speakers are in the auto-setup phase. Dim blue Bright blue The speakers will be undetectable for any Bluetooth device that has not already been paired. This prevents an unauthorised device from connecting and streaming music. One or more sources are connected to the speakers. Waiting for music. Red - flashing slowly REMOTE CONTROL OF THE SPEAKERS Streaming in progress and the speaker has been muted (no sound). Press or to return to active mode. The AVRCP Bluetooth profile (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) built into the speakers allows the volume to be controlled. You can therefore ad-
just the volume using devices supporting this profile. To set it up, briefly press the button to enable the speakers to be detected by a Bluetooth device. Search for peripherals on the device and connect it using PIN code 0000. MODE DEGRADE Blue - flashing quickly Blue - flashing slowly The speakers are detectable and are ready to be detected by the source. Streaming in progress and the speakers have been muted (no sound). Press or to return to active mode. The red LED means that the system is being used in mono. Alternating blue/red The two speakers are in the auto-setup phase. Dim red Bright red Red - flashing quickly
The speaker will be undetectable for any Bluetooth device. One or more sources are connected to the speaker. Waiting for music. The speaker is detectable and ready to be detected. Parrot SOUND SYSTEM DEGRADED MODE When the speakers are in degraded mode, it means that the auto-setup phase did not finish correctly. Both speakers therefore work as two independent speakers. Just one speaker is active and streams the signal in mono (the LEDs are red). To return to normal mode, bring the speakers close together (less than 10m) and they should automatically switch back to normal mode by restarting the auto-setup phase. Note: the auto-setup phase can also be started by holding down the button for two seconds. UPDATING I have connected my hi-fi, but there is no sound. You can update the speakers by Bluetooth. The update protocol is secure. Download the flash utilities from our website at www.parrot.biz/www.parrotsound.com. Both speakers must be updated one after the other to complete the process. Updating increases compatibility with more source devices. HOTLINE

Parrot SOUND SYSTEM General precautions Do not expose the SOUND SYSTEM system to outside temperatures below 5C or above 45C. The system could be damaged or the cabinet warped. Avoid placing the system near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Similarly, excessively low temperatures and humidity could damage the device. Always unplug the system from the mains during a thunderstorm or if you will not be using it for a certain amount of time. Otherwise, you are increasing the potential risks of electric shocks, short circuits and fire. Only use the power lead supplied with the device. Do not place any heavy objects on top of the speakers: take care when using the buttons, connections and protection covers. Otherwise, you are likely to damage the device. Avoid exposing the SOUND SYSTEM speakers to an excessive amount of dust, whether during operation or in storage. Dust is likely to build up inside the device and lead to poor or faulty operation. Do not use any benzene-based products, solvents, detergents or any other chemical products to clean the outside of the device. Such products are likely to discolour and damage the front panel and the case. Simply wipe over with a soft, dry cloth.
