Introduction
The ECO TERRA is designed for indoor and outdoor use with leading Smartphones & audio devices including MP3 players, iPod, iPhone,
Android™ & BlackBerry® . The unit is powered using batteries or the power adapter. Once connected to the audio connection, power & audio volume
can be controlled from external buttons for all devices.
Getting Started
The ECO TERRA is powered using the AC power adapter (included) or 4 x 1.5V size C alkaline batteries (sold separately).
Connect Power Adapter
1. To power your ECO TERRA using power from a wall outlet, simply
open the cap covering the AC Power Adapter on the back of the unit by
gently turning the cap to the left.
2. Once open, plug the adapter into the connection and connect
the prongs to the power outlet.
3. Connect the 3.5mm jack on the audio cable from the cabinet
to the device and press the power button on the ECO TERRA.
4. When powered on, the LED above the right speaker will light green.
NOTE: IF batteries and the power adapter are used at the same time, the ECO TERRA will default to the AC power adapter to power
the unit. The DC-IN power jack on the back panel is for connecting the unit to the AC / DC adapter included with the ECO TERRA.
The internal battery is automatically disconnected when the output plug of the AC power adapter is plugged into this power input jack.
Installing Batteries
1. The battery compartment is located behind the front cabinet.
To access this area, open the clear front door on the cabinet.
2. The compartment door is covered by the protective felt insert.
To remove the insert, push upward on the latch button.
3. Pull gently downward on the insert and remove.
Once the insert is removed the battery compartment door is exposed.
4. Open the door by gently pushing upward on the battery door
latch. Once open, space for 4 individual C batteries is exposed.
5. Insert the batteries and ensure the negative end [ - ] of the batteries are
touching against the sides with the springs.
IMPORTANT Use new, fully charged & commonly branded batteries.
Improper batteries may result in speaker audio distortion or
“hum” or reduced play time.
6. Replace the battery door and protective felt insert.
IMPORTANT When the battery is low, the green LED will flash continually
for a period of time and power down (turn off) automatically
when the battery is too low. When this occurs, replace the old
old batteries with new, same branded batteries. Remove
the old batteries from the battery compartment. To ensure
complete electrical discharge from the unit, allow the TERRA
to sit for approximately 60 seconds before installing new
batteries. ALWAYS use NEW 1.5V size C alkaline batteries
of the same brand for best audio performance and playtime.
Listening to Music: Audio Controls & Features
Selector Switch (Smartphone Type Selector)
The SELECTOR switch should be set before plugging the audio cable into the headset jack of the audio
source (MP3 player, iPod, iPhone or Smartphone). The major classes of Smartphones have an audio
interface circuit that is in one of two categories: “iPhone or I type” & “Samsung or S type”.
“ I ” includes iPhone & iPod, HTC, Motorola, BlackBerry, LG, Palm. “ S ” includes Samsung,
Sony Ericsson, Nokia. For this reason ECO TERRA has a slide SELECTOR switch inside the cabinet to
accomodate the different devices. A cut-out on the protective felt tray allows direct access to the SELECTOR.
BEFORE continuing, use the SELECTOR to set I or S, respectively.
IMPORTANT Certain models may not operate as expected. Should the device connected to the TERRA not play as expected, switch between
S & I and visa-versa.

Audio Cable & 3.5mm Plug
1. The ECO TERRA unit uses a 4-way audio plug to connect to leading Smartphones
& audio devices. For best performance power your device & set the audio volume level
between 75-85 % of the maximum on the device.
2. Insert the 3.5mm audio cable from the ECO TERRA into the audio connection on the device.
Place the device in the protective tray inside the front cabinet.
NOTE: You may play from the device with the front door of the cabinet open or closed
3. Press the Power button on the ECO TERRA.
Use the Buttons on the top of the unit to control VOLUME [- VOL + VOL] ,
PLAY /PAUSE [ >II ], BACK Selection [ I<< ] , FORWARD Selection [>>I ]
IMPORTANT: - VOL+ button shall control the volume level for all devices. Not all devices will support all other music selection button options.
In such an instance, use only [- VOL + VOL] & control the features directly on the device connected to the TERRA to control PLAY/PAUSE, etc.
NOTE: Audio Cable 3.5mm Plug left & right channel inputs are connected in parallel with the channels for the AUX-in jack on the back of the unit.
Thus, if connected and played at the same time, audio from a device connected to the internal 3.5mm Audio Plug will be heard at the same time
as audio from an external audio device connected to AUX-IN (located on the pack panel of the ECO TERRA & protected by a screw on cap)
