Connect Subwoofer

1. Use the included power cord to connect the subwoofer to a power outlet.

2. Turn the POWER switch to the ON position. The ACTIVE light should be yellow.

After 12 minutes without receiving a signal, the ACTIVE light turns red to indicate STAND BY mode. The subwoofer will

automatically go from STAND BY mode to ACTIVE when it detects an audio signal.

3. Turn the VOLUME knob to MIN to prevent blasting music when you first use the subwoofer. You can increase the VOLUME to the

correct level later.

4. You’re done. No more wires to connect!

5. Go to the 

Select Wireless Broadcast Channel

instructions next.

Select Wireless Broadcast Channel

The wireless transmitter can broadcast your audio signals on one of four selectable channels. Multiple channels are made available in case

other devices in your home are using some of the channels for communication.

To select the broadcast channel:

1. Review the 

Wireless Broadcast Considerations

below.

2. Use the CHANNEL switch on the back of the wireless transmitter to select “1”, “2”, “3”, or “4” as the broadcast channel.

3. Use the CHANNEL switch on the back of the subwoofer to select the same broadcast channel as you selected on the

wireless transmitter.

4. Go to the 

Adjust Subwoofer Controls for Listening Preferences

instructions next.

Wireless Broadcast Considerations 

All wireless devices like the WiC-10 may be susceptible to radio frequency (RF) interference from other devices. Other RF devices include

WiFi Internet access, computer equipment and routers; WiFi solar panel monitoring systems; video game consoles, cordless telephones, blue

tooth devices, baby monitors and microwave ovens. In particular, any devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band may cause intermittent wireless

connections between the wireless transmitter and subwoofer.

To prevent wireless broadcast interference problems, keep wireless devices at least 2’ apart. Any interference effects from a microwave oven

will cease once the oven stops operating and may be resolved on a long-term basis by increasing the physical distance between the

subwoofer and the microwave oven.

If the WiC-10 sound is intermittent, check that another wireless device isn’t within 2’ of either the wireless transmitter or the subwoofer.
