5 Inserting the Battery
As an alternative to mains operation, the
speaker system can be operated via a 12 V
lead gel battery with a capacity of 18 Ah (e. g.
WP18-12SHR). The battery compartment of-
fers a space of 181 mm × 167 mm × 76 mm
(W × H × D).
1) Important: Disconnect the speaker system
from the mains and set the POWER switch
(13) to the position OFF.
2) Unscrew the cover plate of the battery com-
partment on the rear of the speaker system.
3) Connect the two cables to the battery
contacts. Make sure to observe the correct
polarity:
red cable =
, black cable =
4) Insert the battery into the compartment and
close the cover.
Fully charge the battery before using it for the
☞
first time (
chapter 6).
6 Charging the Battery
The LEDs 1/3 ...1/1 (11) indicate the charg-
ing status of the battery during operation:
1/3 ⇒ 2/3 ⇒ 1/1 (full)
To charge the battery, connect the speaker sys-
tem to the mains and set the POWER switch
(13) to the position CHARGE. While the bat-
tery is being charged, the LED CHARGE (11)
lights up. When charging is completed, the LED
CHARGE will go out. Then set the switch to the
position OFF.
Note: Always fully charge the battery before
storing the device and remember to recharge the
battery regularly when storing the device for a
longer period of time.
7 Operation
Before switching on the device for the first
time, set all volume controls (6, 8, 9) to "0"
first to prevent any unexpectedly high volume
levels when switching on.
1) Switch on the unit with the POWER switch
(13) (position ON). After a short while, the
LED ON (10) and the LEDs (11) indicating the
current battery charging status will light up.
2) Turn up the control MAIN LEVEL (9) to about
one third for the time being.
3) Use the control MIC LEVEL (6) to adjust the
volume for a microphone connected. Only
turn up the control so far that the sound is
not distorted.
The control MIC REVERB (7) can be used
to add a reverberation effect to the micro-
phone signal.

4) Use the control AUX / BT LEVEL (8) to adjust
the volume for an audio source connected
to the jack AUX INPUT (2). Only turn up the
control so far that the sound is not distorted.
This control is also used to adjust the vol-
ume of a Bluetooth audio source (
ter 7.1).
5) Use the control MAIN LEVEL (9) to adjust
the total volume desired. The LEDs LOW
and HIGH (10) indicate the output level.
If the LED LIMIT (10) lights up, the level is
so high that the automatic level limiter has
been activated to protect the speaker. If the
LED LIMIT lights up frequently, reduce the
volume accordingly with the control MAIN
LEVEL so that the sound is not distorted.
CAUTION
6) After use, set the POWER switch back to the
position OFF.
7.1 Bluetooth receiver
The integrated Bluetooth receiver allows wire-
less connection to a Bluetooth audio source
(e. g. smartphone or tablet computer).
1) Switch on the speaker system and keep the
button BT (4) pressed until the LED above
the button starts flashing.
2) Activate the Bluetooth function on the
Bluetooth source. On the list of available
devices, the speaker system will appear as
"SKYROCK".
3) Pair the source with "SKYROCK" (refer to
the instructions of the Bluetooth source if
necessary). The two devices will then be
connected automatically and the LED BT will
light permanently. It is now possible to start
the audio reproduction at the source.
4) Use the control AUX / BT LEVEL (8) to adjust
the volume for the Bluetooth replay. This
volume also depends on the setting of the
Bluetooth source.
After switching the speaker system off and on
again, it will automatically reconnect to the
Bluetooth source most recently connected.
To disconnect, keep the button BT pressed until
the LED starts flashing again. It is now possible
to connect the speaker system to another Blue-
tooth source. The LED will go out automatically
after a while.
7.1.1 TWS function
The TWS function can be used to distribute the
stereo signal of a Bluetooth audio source to
two SKYROCK speakers. To pair two speaker

systems, keep the button TWS (5) pressed until
the LED above the button starts flashing. After
successful pairing, the LED will light perma-
nently.
In this case, only one of the speaker sys-
tems can be connected to a Bluetooth source.
This speaker system will reproduce the left
stereo channel, the other speaker system the
right stereo channel. To unpair, keep the button
TWS on one of the speaker systems pressed
until the LED goes out.
7.1.2 Resetting BT and TWS
When the two buttons BT (4) and TWS (5) are
pressed simultaneously for more than 4 sec-
onds, the speaker system will disconnect any
existing Bluetooth and TWS connections and
delete the pairing data of the previous connec-
tions. The LEDs BT and TWS will go out.
