The JBL 104SET-BT Reference Monitors are equipped with a low-power "Standby Mode” that automatically 
reduces the power consumption when signal is not detected for a period of 19 minutes. Once in Standby Mode, 
normal operation is restored when signal is detected. It is normal to experience a momentary delay prior to 
resumption of audio. Standby Mode is enabled by default, but it can be disabled for professional applications 
that require the speakers to be fully operational at all times. Standby Mode can be disabled/enabled using the 
procedures listed below.
DISABLING AND ENABLING STANDBY MODE
To disable Standby Mode, use the following procedure:
1.  Set POWER switch to the OFF position. 
2.  Connect headphones to the HEADPHONE output on the MASTER MONITOR.
3.  Set the VOLUME control to the minimum (full counter-clockwise) setting.
4.  Set the POWER switch to the ON position. Within a period of 15 seconds complete the following steps: 
a.  Disconnect the headphones.
b.  Reconnect the headphones.
c.  Disconnect headphones again.
d.  Reconnect headphones again. 
NOTE: This procedure must be completed within 15 seconds after performing Step 4. The POWER LED 
will ash rapidly 5 times to indicate the process is complete.
To re-enable Standby Mode, use the following procedure: 
1.  Set POWER switch to the OFF position. 
2.  Disconnect headphones from the HEADPHONE output on the MASTER MONITOR.

6.  Standby Mode will now be active, and after 19 minutes with no signal present, the 104SET-BT Reference 
Monitors will enter Standby Mode.
