Making Connections

Microphone Input Connect a microphone using a 1⁄4” instrument cable. Turn the MASTER VOL control about half way up. While speaking or singling at performance level into the microphone slowly raise the channel MIC VOLUME control until you have reached the desired level. NOTE: If not using the Mic Input, turn the MIC VOLUME control all the way down to keep out any unwanted noise.
Aux Input Connect a line level device using 1⁄8” (3.5mm) cable. Set the output volume of your audio device to it's maximum setting. While playing music from a line level audio source, slowly raise the MASTER VOL control until you have reached the desired level. NOTE: If using the Mic Input with an Aux audio device, use the external audio device's volume control to balance the audio levels.
XPD Wireless Input Plug the XPD USB receiver into the XPD Wireless USB jack. Turn the MIC Volume knob on the Escape+ completely counterclockwise to 0. Place a fresh set of AA (LR6) batteries in the transmitter battery holder, taking care to observe the polarity markings, then replace the cover. Turn on the power to the transmitter by pressing and holding Power switch; the indicator LED will light amber. Raise the MASTER VOL up about half way. Speak or sing into the mic at a normal performance level and raise the MIC Volume control until the desired level is reached.
Bluetooth®  Turn the BLUETOOTH VOLUME control down counterclockwise to 0. With the Escape+ and your Bluetooth device powered on; press the PAIR button on the rear panel of the Escape+ to make the speaker discoverable. The Pairing indicator will slowly flash blue.  In the settings of your Bluetooth device, set it to “discover” available devices. From the Bluetooth device list, select the “Escape+ Plus” device. If your device asks for a passkey, enter digits 0000 (four zeros) and press OK. Some devices may also ask you to accept the connection. The Escape+ speaker indicates that pairing is complete when the indicator turns steady blue. You can now stream audio from your device to the Escape+ speakers. With the volume control on your Bluetooth device turned up, play some music, and slowly raise the Escape+ MASTER VOL control until you have reached the desired level.
