Set up your BeoLab 20

Set up your BeoLab 20 speakers wirelessly or with cables. Ensure that the speakers are positioned, set up and connected in accordance with the instructions in this guide. You may also contact your retailer regarding installation.

1. To unpack the speakers, lift them out of the packaging by supporting the lens and holding above the socket area as illustrated. Do not touch the sockets since this may damage them.
   The connection covers are placed in the packaging.
   
2. To lift the speaker, grip at the top and bottom of the aluminium back part as illustrated. Do not lift the speaker by the speaker cover.
   
3. Make sure the frame support is left on during installation to protect the speaker cover.
   
4. To connect cables, unscrew the wire clamp first.
   
5. Set up your audio/video product wirelessly with a pair of BeoLab 20 speakers or make a wireless surround sound system. See the guide enclosed with your wireless transmitter, for example BeoLab Transmitter 1, for information about how to connect the wireless transmitter, your audio/video product and your speakers.
   RESET: Press and hold the button for two seconds to reset the wireless setting of a wireless speaker. The role switch must be set to WIRELESS. The status indicator is solid red for 2 seconds, then it flashes green quickly. The speaker is now in associate mode and ready to be connected to the wireless transmitter. If you press and hold the button for 10 seconds, the speaker is reset to factory settings.
   
6. Examples of connections. If you choose a cabled setup, you can use Power Link, Toslink^TM or line cables for connection between your speakers and your audio/video product. If you use Toslink cables, you must make a daisy chain setup as illustrated. This is also possible with Power Link cables. Be aware that Toslink cables should not be bent more than a radius of 30 mm, since this can cause disturbances in the sound performance.
   Note that all connected sources must be volume regulated.
   The socket marked SERVICE is for service use only.
   
   
7. Set the position switch (POS.) according to whether your speaker is placed close to a wall, a corner or in a free standing position. The wall position is measured 20 cm from the closest edge of the speaker to the wall.
   
8. If you have a wired setup, set the role switch (ROLE) according to whether your speaker is placed to the left (LEFT) or the right (RIGHT) of your listening position. If you have a wireless setup, always set the role switch to wireless (WIRELESS).
   
9. Screw the wire clamp on again and mount the connection cover. Remove the frame support when the speaker is positioned correctly.
   
   
   
10. Product status and wireless indicator:
    The Bang & Olufsen logo lights up for 10 seconds when the speaker starts playing and then it dims. The logo light is switched off with the speaker.
    

• Red (solid): The wireless indicator is solid red for 10 seconds when the speaker is connected to the mains or when it restarts after it has been reset.
• Green (flashing): A software update is in progress, during which the speaker cannot play. Do not disconnect from the mains.
• Green (flashing quickly): If you have a wireless transmitter in your setup, the speaker is in associate mode and ready to be connected to the wireless transmitter.
• Orange (flashing slowly): The product is overheated and will shut down temporarily.
• Orange (flashing quickly): An error has occurred. Disconnect the speaker from the mains and reconnect it again. If the problem persists, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

Cleaning

Clean dusty surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. If necessary, remove grease stains or persistent dirt with soft, lint-free cloth which you have dipped in lukewarm water and wrung firmly. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the acoustic lens. However, the speaker cover may be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle, and set to the lowest suction level.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the speaker!
