The Bazooka Party Bar G3 is a versatile audio and lighting system designed to enhance your outdoor adventures with sound and illumination. This device offers a range of features for both individual listening and multi-device party experiences, making it suitable for various social settings.

Core Functionality:

At its heart, the Party Bar G3 serves as a robust audio system capable of playing music from multiple sources. It integrates Bluetooth, Auxiliary (Aux), and USB listening modes, providing flexibility in how you connect your audio devices. The central control panel features intuitive buttons for managing playback, volume, and mode selection.

Beyond its audio capabilities, the Party Bar G3 incorporates an integrated LED lighting system. These lights are not merely decorative; they can be synchronized with the music, creating dynamic visual effects that enhance the party atmosphere. The lighting system offers various sequences and modes, allowing users to customize the visual experience to their preference.

Usage Features:

Power and Basic Operation:

To power the Party Bar G3 on or off, a long-press of the Mode button is required. This ensures that the device isn't accidentally turned on or off during use. Once powered on, users can navigate through different listening modes by click-pressing the Mode button, cycling between Bluetooth, Aux, and USB.

Audio Control:

Volume adjustment is straightforward, with dedicated Vol +/- buttons to raise or lower the sound output. For music playback, the device includes standard controls: a Play/Pause button (represented by >||) to start, stop, or mute music, and track forward/reverse buttons (represented by |<< and >>|) to skip between songs.

LED Lighting Control:

The LED lighting system offers several control options. A click-press of the LED button toggles the "beat to music" mode, where the lights react dynamically to the rhythm of the audio. For more general control, a long-press of the LED button turns the lights completely on or off. Once the lights are on, subsequent click-presses of the LED button cycle through various pre-stored LED sequences, allowing users to choose their preferred visual display.

Accessory Integration:

A notable feature is the ACC button, which controls a 12V pig tail. This output is designed to power external LED light bars or other 12V accessories, expanding the Party Bar G3's utility beyond its built-in features. This allows for further customization and integration with other vehicle accessories.

Party Mode Functionality (Multi-Device Pairing):

The Party Bar G3 truly shines in its multi-device "Party Mode," which allows multiple Party Bars to connect and synchronize, creating a larger, more immersive audio and visual experience. This mode operates through three distinct states, indicated by the color of the Party Button:

• Blue: Single Listener Mode: This is the default mode for individual use, where a single Party Bar operates independently. Listeners can switch to this mode to leave an existing party.
• Purple: DJ Broadcast Mode: In this mode, one Party Bar acts as the "DJ" and broadcasts its music and LED light commands to other connected Party Bars. To enter this mode, the designated DJ bar's Party button is clicked until it turns PURPLE, then long-pressed to initiate "Broadcast Pairing." The Party button will blink during this pairing process.
• Red: DJ Listening Mode: Other Party Bars that wish to join the party become "Listeners" in this mode. Their Party button is clicked until it turns RED, then long-pressed to enter "Broadcast Pairing." These Listener bars will then receive audio and LED commands from the DJ bar.

Setting Up a Party:

1. Designate a DJ: One user decides to be the DJ. They click their Party button until it's PURPLE, then long-press it to enter "Broadcast Pairing" mode. The button will blink.
2. Connect Listeners: Other users who want to join the party click their Party button until it's RED, then long-press it to enter "Broadcast Pairing" mode.
3. Synchronization: Once connected, all Listener bars automatically sync with the DJ bar, receiving music and LED lighting control.
4. Adding New Listeners: If a new Listener wants to join an ongoing party, only the DJ needs to re-enter "Broadcast Pairing" mode. Existing Listeners remain in the party while the new one joins.

Party Mode Control and Persistence:

• Local Volume Control for Listeners: While in DJ Listening Mode, individual Listener bars can still adjust their local volume using the Vol +/- buttons or mute their bar with the Play/Pause button. However, any volume adjustment made by the DJ on their bar will override and reset the volume on all Listener bars to match the DJ's setting.
• Party Memory: A convenient feature is that all G3 Party Bars remember their last party configuration. If the original DJ bar is present and turned ON, simply turning on all the bars and clicking their Party buttons to their respective DJ Broadcast or DJ Listening modes will automatically recreate the last party.

Maintenance Features:

The provided documentation focuses primarily on operational and pairing instructions rather than explicit maintenance features. However, the remote pairing process can be considered a form of "maintenance" in ensuring proper functionality of the wireless remote control.

Remote Pairing (for BPB24-G2, BPB24-DS-G2, BPB36-G2 models):

This process ensures the wireless remote control is properly linked to the Party Bar, allowing for convenient control from a distance.

1. Power Disconnection: The first step involves removing power from the Party Bar by unplugging the main power cable and waiting for 30 seconds. This ensures a clean reset for the pairing process.
2. Remote Activation: On the remote control, buttons 1 and 4 are pressed and held simultaneously. After approximately 5 seconds, a red LED on the remote will begin to flash slowly, indicating it's ready for pairing. The buttons are then released.
3. Power Reconnection: The main power cable of the Party Bar is then plugged back in. Upon successful pairing, the flashing LED on the remote will turn off, confirming that the remote is now paired with the Party Bar.

While not explicitly stated as "maintenance," this pairing procedure is crucial for maintaining the full functionality of the device, especially if the remote control connection is lost or a new remote is introduced. The robust design and clear instructions for operation and pairing suggest a user-friendly approach to keeping the device in optimal working condition.
