3. Using A5
A5 can be operated either from the controls on its
body, illustrated in Diagram 2, or from the remote
control. If the remote control is to be used, the
battery insulating tab must first be removed. This
is illustrated in Diagram 3. Diagram 4 illustrates the
remote control key functions.
3.1 Switching On and Off
In addition to normal operating mode, A5 has both
Standby and Sleep modes. In Standby mode,
all A5 functions are switched off and the power
consumption minimised. In Sleep mode, the A5
wireless function remains connected to the network.
The A5 indicator illuminates dim red in Sleep mode
and will turn off in Standby mode.
A5 can only be switched on from Standby mode by
pressing the A5 Standby button
.
A5 can be switched on from Sleep mode by the
following actions:
• Pressing the A5 Standby button
• Pressing remote control Standby key
• Streaming music to A5 by Airplay.
• Play music through the AUx input.
When A5 is switched on from Standby or Sleep, the
last input used will be selected if it is still connected.
If the last input used is no longer connected, A5 will
automatically scan its inputs AUx, AirPlay, and select
the first connected one it finds. The A5 indicator will
change to the colour that designates the selected
input. If no connected input is found, A5 will select
the AirPlay input by default.
Note: If the AirPlay input has not been set up the
indicator will flash Yellow.
Note: The table in Section 4 describes all the A5
indicator colours and their meanings.
To switch A5 into Sleep mode, either press the
remote control Standby key or press and hold the A5
Standby button for 2 seconds. The A5 indicator will
illuminate dim red.
To switch A5 into Standby mode, press and hold the
A5 Standby button for 4 seconds. The A5 indicator
will turn off.
Note: It is not possible to switch A5 into Standby
mode from the remote control.
Note: The A5 will automatically enter Sleep mode
if left inactive for more than 30 minutes.
