 We strongly recommend that you use the original packaging with the existing shock-absorbing packaging material.

Don’t have the original packaging?

Please follow these important guidelines to ensure that you pack the device safely and avoid shipping damage.
 

• Never use bubble-wrap only.
• Choose a sturdy cardboard box that permits at least 10cm of packaging materials between the device and the walls of the box. Putting the device into a cardboard box without proper shock-absorbing packaging materials will result in damage to the device.
   Air-bubble isolation and foam beans is advisable only for very light-weight items.
• Use packaging materials that cannot move around, and cannot be damaged by the device moving around and being shaken about.

 

We included a Remote Control in your box (I know, that's sweet of us), and you need to pair it with your LINK BAR before it is working.

This is how you will do it

1. Press the BLUETOOTH button on the LINK BAR
2. Now hold the BLUETOOTH button down for 3-5 seconds.
3. When you see "SEARCHING FOR ACCESSORIES" on your TV screen, release the BLUETOOTH button.
4. On your REMOTE press the HOME and BACK buttons at the same time.
5. A Green LED light will flash on the REMOTE to indicate that it is in pairing mode.
6. Keep holding down the buttons until you see a message on the TV screen that says, "Pairing remote control to LINK BAR" After 10 seconds, release.
7. If done successfully on your TV screen, you will see an indicator counting down that it will "pair" with your remote.

Enjoy your entertainment with few clicks away!

BONUS TIP:  There is an Android app called Android TV that will turn your Smartphone into a Remote controller.

If you want to add more depth and bass to your LINK BAR, we have a dedicated subwoofer (not included with the LINK BAR) that you can purchase!

Pairing the Subwoofer is very simple:
1. Turn on the soundbar and the subwoofer. If the connection is lost, the LED indicator on the subwoofer blinks slowly.
2. Press the “Subwoofer Pairing” button on the SW10 subwoofer to enter pairing mode. The LED indicator on the subwoofer blinks quickly.
3. Press the “Subwoofer Pairing” button on LINK BAR, the LED indicator on the LINK BAR blinks rapidly
4. If successful, the pairing LED indicator on both subwoofer and LINK BAR will be a steady white LED light. If pairing fails, the sign on the subwoofer blinks slowly.
5. If the pairing fails, repeat the steps above. If you are still experiencing problems, please try to switch off all wireless devices in the home (such as routers, TV sets with wireless function, telephones, computers, etc.), then try again. It may be overcrowding on the 5GHz frequency, which often causes problems. By eliminating all other wireless activity, this will help space for the LINK BAR to establish its connection. You now should be able to pair without problems. Once pairing is complete, you can switch your devices on again

To perform a hardware reset of your earbuds, press and hold the reset button on the charging case* for more than 5 seconds. This resets the earbuds without restoring the settings to the factory defaults.
