Ready Mode

What is Ready Mode?

Ready Mode is another form of standby. However, when in Ready
Mode, the A100 will also automatically awake if you try to play
something via USB, AirPlay or AirPlay Direct.

How to Enter Ready Mode

1. With the A100 turned on and out of standby mode (LED not
flashing), press and hold the standby button for about 3
seconds.
2. The LED will start to flash orange indicating it is entering
Ready Mode. When it stops flashing and is illuminated yellow,
the A100 is now in Ready Mode.
It is now possible to automatically wake the A100 by either
connecting a device via the USB or streaming to it via AirPlay.
The A100 cannot be put into Ready Mode using the remote.
HINT
If the A100 is placed into Ready Mode while an iOS-
device is connected via USB, it will continue to charge.
