Daily use
When you have finished setting
up the subwoofer as described 
on the following pages, 
connect the entire system to 
the mains supply. The indicator 
lights up in red, indicating that 
the subwoofer is in standby, 
ready to be used. The 
subwoofer is designed to be 
left in this standby mode when 
not in use. 
NOTE! The subwoofer is 
designed to protect itself if the 
active speaker unit becomes 
overheated. The subwoofer 
protection circuit may become 
active after a period of playing 
at a high volume level. 
Switching on and off – indicator
When you switch on your Bang & 
Olufsen system, the subwoofer 
switches on simultaneously. The red 
standby indicator light turns green, 
indicating that the subwoofer is 
switched on. 
When you switch off your system, 
or mute the sound, the red indicator 
light appears immediately, indicating
that the subwoofer is not in use.
Subwoofer protection 
If the active speaker unit becomes 
over heated, the subwoofer will 
instantly reduce the sound level. 
Once the situation has stabilised, 
the sound level is slowly returned to 
normal. If the subwoofer is played 
constantly at a very high volume 
level, it will eventually mute the 
sound completely. 
Should the subwoofer mute the
sound, the indicator light turns 
orange. 
To restore the sound:
> Disconnect the subwoofer from
the mains.
> Allow the active speaker unit
time to cool off.
> Reconnect the subwoofer to the
mains.
Should the problem persist,
contact your Bang & Olufsen 
retailer.
Cleaning the subwoofer
Wipe dust off the surfaces using a 
dry, soft cloth. If necessary, remove 
stains or dirt with a soft, damp 
cloth and a solution of water and 
mild detergent such as washing-up 
liquid.
Never use alcohol or other solvents 
to clean any part of the subwoofer!
