Kickstand / Pole Mount

FreePlay is primarily intended to sit on a flat,
hard surface (such as a table, mantle, desk, etc.).
However, an optional kickstand / pole mount
accessory is available for purchase, ideal for live per-
formances. This allows you to either pole mount it to a
standard speaker pole or "kick it back" to a 45˚ angle,
perfect for busking!
More information about the Kickstand may be found
by visiting the Kickstand Installation Instruction Sheet.

Factory Reset [aka Vulcan Mind Meld]

Since settings may be changed via FreePlay Connect,
it may be necessary to reset the FreePlay Personal PA
to its factory settings.
Please keep in mind that this erases all settings,
including any levels, EQs, etc. that may have been
set. Be sure to power down any amps and/or powered
speakers before resetting FreePlay.
Simply press and hold the Main, Channel 2 and FX
buttons simultaneously to reset the FreePlay Personal
PA to its factory settings.

AC Power

Be sure FreePlay is plugged into an outlet that is able
to supply the correct voltage specified for your model.
It will continue to operate at lower voltages, but will
not reach full power.
Be sure the electrical service can supply enough
amperage for all the components connected to it.
We recommend that a stiff (robust) supply of AC
power be used because the amplifiers place high
current demands on the AC line. The more power that is
available on the line, the louder the speakers will play
and the more peak output power will be available for a
cleaner, punchier bass. A suspected problem of "poor
bass performance" is often caused by a weak AC supply
to the amplifiers.
Never remove the ground pin on the power
cord or any other component of FreePlay.
This is very dangerous.

Care and Maintenance

FreePlay will provide many years of reliable service if
you follow these guidelines:
Avoid exposing it to moisture. If it's set up
outdoors, be sure it's under cover if rain is
expected.
Avoid exposure to extreme cold (below
freezing temperatures). If you must operate
FreePlay in a cold environment, – FreezePlay
– warm up the voice coils slowly by sending
a low-level signal through them for about 15
minutes prior to high-power operation.
Use a dry cloth to clean FreePlay. Only do this
when the power is turned off. Avoid getting
moisture into any of the openings.

Try saying "FreePlay Freeze-Frame" ten times fast. Tough, huh?!
