Operation
Power on the Universal Boombox by pressing the Power/Volume knob on the
front panel. The light on the front panel surrounding the knob should light up blue
to indicate power is on. If the Radio does not power on at the same time, press
the Power button on the Radio. You should now hear the Sirius or XM audio. If
you do not, increase the volume of the Universal Boombox by turning the Power/
Volume knob clockwise (+).
Your Radio remembers whether it was on or off when power to the Radio is
turned off at the time the Universal Boombox is turned off. Therefore, if your
Radio was on at the time you turned the Universal Boombox off, when you turn
the Universal Boombox back on, the Radio will turn on also. If the Radio was off
at the time you turned off the Universal Boombox, you’ll need to turn the Radio
on also when you turn on the Universal Boombox.
Batteries
Battery life is dependent upon several factors, including:
• The model of your Radio.
• The strength of the satellite signal.
• The volume level the Universal Boombox is set at.
• The type of audio playing, i.e., talk or music, and music with heavy bass
which requires greater power to drive the woofer.
• Type and freshness of the batteries.
With fresh batteries, battery life is estimated at approximately 8 hours at half
volume. Expect the actual battery life to vary.
When the Universal Boombox is powered on the light on the front panel
surrounding the Power/Volume knob is normally blue. When the light turns red,
that indicates the battery power is low. Replace the batteries.
