Overview

This document describes the Insignia NS-5004BT, a 2.1 computer speaker system with Bluetooth connectivity and color-changing LED lighting.

Function Description:

The Insignia NS-5004BT is a speaker system designed to enhance audio from computers and other devices. It consists of two satellite speakers, a subwoofer, and a control pod. The system offers both wireless Bluetooth connectivity for streaming audio from compatible devices and a wired AUX input for connecting external sound sources like MP3 players. A headphone jack on the control pod allows for private listening. The speakers feature an aesthetic element with eight color modes for LED lighting, which can be adjusted to set the mood. The system provides 25W RMS total power, with 16W RMS from the subwoofer and 9W RMS from the satellites.

Usage Features:

Powering On/Off:

To turn the speakers on or off, slide the ON/OFF switch located on the control pod. Sliding it to the left turns the speakers on, and to the right turns them off. When first turned on, the speakers automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode, indicated by a blinking blue status LED.

Bluetooth Connectivity:

  1. Initial Pairing: Ensure your Bluetooth device is on and within 33 feet (10 meters) of the speakers. Turn on the speakers; the status LED will blink blue, indicating pairing mode. If the LED is red, press the Input button once to switch to Bluetooth mode. Activate Bluetooth on your device, set it to pairing mode, and select "Insignia NS-5004BT" from the list of available devices. If prompted for a password, enter "0000." A solid blue status LED indicates successful pairing.
  2. Reconnecting: The speakers will automatically search for and attempt to connect to the last paired Bluetooth device when turned on, provided the device is nearby.
  3. Force Pairing/Connecting to a New Device: If you wish to pair with a new device after having previously paired with another, press and hold the Input button on the control pod for three seconds. The blue LED will begin blinking, indicating pairing mode. You can then search for "Insignia NS-5004BT" on your new device's Bluetooth list and tap to pair.

Wired Connection (AUX Mode):

  1. Connect an external sound source (e.g., an MP3 player) to the speakers using the included 3.5 mm audio cable. Plug one end into the AUX jack on the back of the control pod and the other end into your sound source.
  2. Press the Input button on the control pod to switch to AUX mode. The status LED will turn solid red, indicating the speakers are in AUX mode.

Listening to Music:

After connecting your audio device (either via Bluetooth or AUX), begin playback on your device. Use the master volume control on the control pod to adjust the overall volume. You can also use the volume controls on your audio device for fine-tuning. To switch between Bluetooth and wired (AUX) connections, press the Input select button. The status LED will be blue for Bluetooth and red for AUX.

Light Color Pattern:

The speakers feature LED lighting with eight color modes. To cycle through the colors, repeatedly press the LIGHT button on the control pod. The sequence is: Blue -> Green -> Red -> Purple -> Yellow -> Light blue -> Repeating six colors -> Lights off. To dim the LED lighting by 50%, press and hold the LIGHT button for three seconds. To return to full brightness, press the button again for three seconds.

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

  • No Power: Ensure the speakers are plugged in and turned on.
  • No Sound/Low Volume: Verify that the speakers are turned on, Bluetooth is enabled on your device, and "Insignia NS-5004BT" is selected. Check the volume levels on both the speakers and your Bluetooth device, ensuring neither is muted. Confirm that the speakers are not paired to another Bluetooth device.
  • Cannot Establish Bluetooth Connection: Shorten the distance between your speakers and your Bluetooth device. Try turning both devices off and on, then re-pair them. Ensure your Bluetooth device supports Bluetooth v4.0 or below and is not connected to any other device. If a passcode is required, enter "0000."
  • Bluetooth Device Unpairing: Reduce the distance between devices. If your Bluetooth device's battery is low, recharge it.
  • "Insignia NS-5004BT" Not Appearing: Shorten the distance. Put your speakers into pairing mode and refresh your Bluetooth device list.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning:

Clean the speaker system only with a dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.

Placement and Ventilation:

Do not block any ventilation openings on the speakers. Install them according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring adequate airflow. Avoid placing the speakers near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other heat-producing apparatus (including amplifiers). The unit should be kept in a well-ventilated environment and not installed in confined spaces like bookcases.

Power Cord Protection:

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, especially at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits the apparatus. The wall plug serves as the disconnecting device and must remain readily operable.

Safety Precautions:

  • Do not use the apparatus near water.
  • Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement.
  • Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
  • Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.
  • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel if the apparatus has been damaged, exposed to liquid or moisture, or does not operate normally.
  • Do not expose the device to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing, and do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on it.
  • The apparatus is classified as a class II apparatus.
