USING THE KILBURN WITH YOUR DEVICES

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO CONNECT YOUR PHONE, TABLET, LAPTOP TO YOUR LOUDSPEAKER, WHETHER USING A PHYSICAL CORD OR VIA WIRELESS BLUETOOTH®. BELOW YOU WILL FIND MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE CONNECTION SOURCES, IN TWO CATEGORIES:

• WIRELESS CONNECTION VIA BLUETOOTH
• CONNECTION VIA THE 3.5MM STEREO PLUG

CHOOSING YOUR SOURCE

ORDER OF CONNECTIONS (FROM TOP TO BOTTOM):

• BLUETOOTH
• INPUT - 3.5MM STEREO PLUG

001. PUSH THE SOURCE/WAKE BUTTON TO CHOOSE YOUR SOURCE OR TO SWITCH BETWEEN CONNECTED SOURCES.
002. A LIT LED INDICATES WHICH SOURCE YOU HAVE SELECTED.

BLUETOOTH AUTO CONNECTION

IF A DEVICE IS MOVED OUTSIDE THE RANGE OF THE KILBURN ACTIVE LOUDSPEAKER (APPROXIMATELY 10 METRES WITHOUT OBSTACLES), THAT DEVICE IS THEN DISCONNECTED. THE DEVICE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONNECTED AGAIN WHEN IT IS MOVED BACK WITHIN RANGE. THE KILBURN STORES UP TO SIX DEVICES AND ALWAYS STARTS SEARCHING FOR THE LAST DEVICE THAT HAS BEEN CONNECTED. IF THE KILBURN HAS BEEN CONNECTED TO DEVICES A-B-C-D-E-F IN THAT ORDER, DEVICE F IS GIVEN FIRST PRIORITY, WHILE DEVICE A IS GIVEN LAST PRIORITY. EVERY TIME THE KILBURN STARTS UP, IT WILL PERFORM AN AUTO CONNECTION OF DEVICES WITHIN ITS RANGE.

CONNECTING SOURCES BY CABLE

THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO CONNECT TO YOUR KILBURN – THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, USING A CORD AND THE 3.5MM INPUT.

INPUT - 3.5MM STEREO PLUG
USE THE DOUBLE-ENDED COIL CORD WITH 3.5MM PLUGS TO CONNECT TO AUDIO SOURCES THAT HAVE AUDIO OUTPUT SUCH AS A MOBILE TELEPHONE, IPHONE/IPAD/IPOD, MP3 PLAYER, OR AIRPORT EXPRESS.

INPUT - 3.5MM STEREO PLUG

001. CONNECT THE CORD WITH THE 3.5MM STEREO PLUG TO THE INPUT ON THE LOUDSPEAKER.
002. CONNECT THE CORD WITH THE 3.5MM STEREO PLUG TO THE MUSIC PLAYER.
003. SELECT INPUT AS SOURCE BY PUSHING THE SOURCE/WAKE BUTTON UNTIL THE INPUT LED IS LIT.

STANDBY MODES

DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE KILBURN IS RUNNING ON BATTERY OR MAINS POWER IT USES TWO DIFFERENT STANDBY MODES. THIS IS IN ORDER TO COMPLY TO THE EUROPEAN UNION REGULATION THAT STATES THAT ELECTRONIC DEVICES MAY ONLY HAVE 0.5W POWER CONSUMPTION IN STANDBY MODE (THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE ON ENERGY RELATED PRODUCTS, OR ERP).

THE KILBURN ACTIVE STEREO LOUDSPEAKER WILL GO INTO STANDBY MODE AFTER 20 MINUTES OF NOT RECEIVING A SOUND SIGNAL OR AFTER THREE MINUTES OF NOT LOCATING ANY BLUETOOTH DEVICE WHEN IN PAIRING MODE. DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE KILBURN IS RUNNING ON BATTERY POWER OR IS CONNECTED TO MAINS POWER, THE WAKE UP BEHAVIOUR DIFFERS.

WAKING UP - BATTERY POWER

WHEN THE KILBURN GOES INTO STANDBY MODE WHILE RUNNING ON BATTERY POWER, THE LOUDSPEAKER ENTERS A LOW-POWER STATE. IT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY WAKE UP WHEN YOU BEGIN PLAYING MUSIC AND IT WILL ALSO NOT SHOW UP AS AN AVAILABLE DEVICE IN YOUR BLUETOOTH CONNECTION LIST.

001. TO ACTIVATE THE KILBURN AFTER THE UNIT HAS GONE TO STANDBY MODE, PUSH THE SOURCE/WAKE BUTTON ONCE. THIS WILL BRING THE KILBURN BACK TO LIFE AND READY TO PLAY AGAIN.

WAKING UP - MAINS POWER

WHEN CONNECTED TO MAINS POWER, THE KILBURN WILL AUTOMATICALLY WAKE UP WHEN THE LAST USED SOURCE IS PLAYED OR THE SOURCE/WAKE BUTTON IS PUSHED.

001. IF THE LAST SOURCE USED WAS THE 3.5MM STEREO PLUG INPUT, THE LOUDSPEAKER WAKES UP AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE CONNECTED SOURCE BEGINS TO PLAY.
002. IF A BLUETOOTH DEVICE WAS USED AS THE LAST SOURCE, USING THE LAST USED BLUETOOTH DEVICE WILL WAKE THE KILBURN UP.

REPLACING THE INTERNAL BATTERY

IF THE INTERNAL BATTERY IS BROKEN OR WORN OUT, YOU CAN REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE. THE FAULTY BATTERY PACK MUST ALWAYS BE RECYCLED ACCORDING TO LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

001. MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER CORD IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE WALL SOCKET.
002. DISCONNECTED THE POWER CORD FROM THE KILBURN POWER SOCKET.
003. CAREFULLY PLACE THE KILBURN FRONT DOWN ON A FLAT, CLEAN SURFACE.
004. USING A TORX SCREWDRIVER (SIZE T10), UNSCREW THE TWO SCREWS ON THE BATTERY HATCH ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LOUDSPEAKER.
005. OPEN THE BATTERY HATCH AND REMOVE IT FROM THE LOUDSPEAKER.
006. PULL THE BATTERY TAB AND CAREFULLY LIFT THE BATTERY WITHOUT PULLING ON THE CABLE CONNECTING THE BATTERY TO THE LOUDSPEAKER.
007. GENTLY PULL ON THE BATTERY PLUG, AWAY FROM THE LOUDSPEAKER TO DISCONNECT AND REMOVE THE BATTERY.
008. REVERSE THE PROCESS TO INSTALL THE NEW BATTERY.
