2. Quick Start / Connections
e) On the rear panel of the loudspeakers, set the volume at low level and switch on the mains
switch and wait for about 5 secs. The loudspeaker is now in Standby Mode and armed to
automatically switch into Operating Mode as soon a signal is detected at any of the inputs.
f) Turn on your source of music and adjust the volume slowly and carefully until the
loudspeakers switch from Standby into Operating Mode, first using the volume control of
your source. If your audio level is still too low, turn up the speaker's volume control.
Please note:
After inital mains power-up (via the mains switch) and after a switch-off into Standby Mode,
the signal detector will need about 5 sec. Even with a signal present, the speaker will not
immediately switch back on into Operating Mode.
At the front of the F5 and F7 models you will find two
LEDs next to the ADAM logo that indicate the following
conditions:
GREEN:
Operation Mode, main power is present and speaker is active.
DIM RED:
Standby Mode, meaning the speaker has switched to low power mode with automatic signal
sensing.
BRIGHT RED + GREEN LED:
Overtemperature condition, the speaker stops putting out sound and will wait some minutes
until it cools down to resume operation. The thermal protection will nominally never engage
in normal use but may engage when using high output levels over extended periods of time,
notably together with high room temperatures and high mains voltages.
