4. Turn the PEEQ Receiver On
   
   1. Press and hold the power button on the front of the PEEQ Receiver until the blue light turns on below the "1" and "2" (this can take around five (5) seconds).
   2. The blue lights will begin flashing, indicating that the PEEQ Receiver is searching for a paired Mic.
5. Turn the Microphone On
   
   1. Press and hold the power/mute button on the front of the Mic until the light turns on. (this can take around three (3) seconds).

   The Mic and PEEQ Receiver were paired from the factory and will automatically connect.
   1. Confirm the flashing blue light on the Mic, and the flashing blue light under "1" on the PEEQ Receiver have changed to steady blue.
   2. If you have a secondary Mic, repeat steps 5-7. For step 7.2, confirm the flashing blue light under "2" on the PEEQ Receiver has changed to steady blue.
      Note: The flashing blue light under "2" will continue to flash - this is normal. The Receiver is looking for a secondary Mic to sync with. If you only have one Mic it will continue to flash.

   2. Adjust the volume on your speakers or amplifier, if necessary, to your desired volume.

Note: When connecting multiple Qballs in one location we HIGHLY recommend keeping the Mic in Low Power Mode

Auto Mute

The Qball will automatically mute when being thrown in order to avoid loud thumps over the speakers. The Auto Mute feature may be toggled on and off by inserting a paperclip into the pinhole above the charging port on the Mic, and quickly pressing the internal button.

Auto Sleep

In order to save on battery life, the Mic will automatically go into standby mode if no movement is sensed for 15 minutes. To wake the Qball from sleep mode, simply give it a shake. If no movement is sensed for two hours the Mic will turn itself off completely. The Auto Sleep feature may be toggled on and off by inserting a paperclip into the pinhole above the charging port on the Mic, and pressing and holding the internal button for 2 seconds. The lights on the front of the Mic will flash alternatively to indicate that the mode has been toggled. Both green and blue lights indicate that the auto-sleep is on, blue lights only indicate that the auto-sleep is off.

Alternate Setup Instructions

Videoconferencing

The PEEQ Receiver may be connected to a computer for use with videoconferencing software (Skype, Hangoouts etc.) if your computer is equipped with a dedicated Mic Input. Most newer laptops are equipped with a combo headphone/microphone jack that will require an additional adapter to work with the PEEQ Receiver. We recommend the Audio Technica ATR2USB adapter.

Desktop Computer Speakers

If you are connecting the PEEQ Receiver to you desktop speakers, simply disconnect the desktop speakers from your computer and connect them directly into the "OUT" port on the back of the PEEQ Receiver. Then connect one end of the supplied 3.5mm Aux cable into the "IN" port on the back of the PEEQ Receiver, connect the other end into the audio jack on your computer. This will enable audio from both the computer and the Qball without changing cables.
