Automatic Power Shut-Off
Total PA Premier is equipped with an automatic power shut-off to save energy in
compliance with the energy efficiency regulations for compact audio products. Total PA
Premier will enter an energy-saving mode after 20 minutes unless an audio signal at a
moderate level is detected from the XLR Input, the Aux Input, the USB/SD media player,
the Radio, or a Bluetooth connection. In energy-saving mode, the display and lights will
turn off and audio playback will be disabled, but the unit will remain powered on in standby.
To resume normal operation, simply turn a knob or press a button on the unit or remote
control.
To prevent automatic shut-off, an audio signal should remain active at a moderate volume
level from the XLR Input, the Aux Input, the USB/SD media player, the Radio, or a
Bluetooth connection. We recommend setting audio source (i.e., Aux Input or Bluetooth)
volume at max and the Master Volume to 5 or higher to prevent shut-off.
Speaker Stand Installation
1. Fully extend the speaker stand tripod legs on a flat, stable surface. Look in the box
contents under the foam sheet for the rubber feet and speaker stand mounting knob.
2. Raise the mounting pole up to the appropriate height needed and tighten the side
adjustment knob.
3. Insert the pin into the bottom pin-hole so the mounting pole stays at your set height.
4. On Total PA Premier, adjust the bottom knob counter-clockwise so the screw is not
blocking the opening.
5. Line up the Total PA Premier mounting hole with the speaker stand pole and place on
the pole.
6. Tighten the mounting knob clockwise on Total PA Premier.
Linking Two Speakers

"secondary" speaker.
3. Press the Link button on a second Total PA Premier to enter Stereo Link Mode. This

are linked, press the Mode button on the "primary" speaker to select the desired audio
source. Use the directions
5. To disconnect, double-press the Link button on the "primary" speaker.
To link two Total PA Premier speakers using cables:
1. With the Power Switch on each speaker turned to the off position, connect each
speaker to a power outlet.

speaker. This speaker (the primary) is the one to which you will connect audio sources
such as a Bluetooth device, microphone, or USB flash drive.

second Total PA Premier speaker. This second speaker will receive the audio from any
devices connected to the first speaker (the primary).
