RV INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION IN OTHER LOCATIONS
LOCATION
The RV Media Bluetooth Speaker Light operates on 12VDC and is intended to be installed
on the exterior of your RV, ideally replacing an existing awning light. However, you can
install it anywhere outside or inside the RV as long as you can connect it to 12VDC.
INSTALLATION (see diagram on back of this guide)
If installing in place of an exterior awning light, please use the following steps as a guide:
1. Carefully remove the existing awning light. Disconnect the RV’s wiring from the light
and keep the wiring accessible for the next step.
2. Connect the red wire of the supplied male power lead to the RV’s +12V wire, and
connect the black wire to the RV’s ground wire. Make these connections with
suitable crimp terminals or solder and heat shrink.
3. Mark the location of the 4 mounting screws. Be careful to ensure the screws will not
damage any materials behind the mounting surface.
4. Mount the optional locating brackets using the center screw (only) with the hook part
at the bottom. These brackets provide reinforcement for the speaker plus they can
be used as a temporary, removable mounting option if required.
5. Apply the foam sealing tape around the back edge of the speaker.
6. Plug the female power lead attached to the speaker light into the male power lead
that was wired in step 2. We suggest that this connection be secured with electrical
tape. Mount the speaker using the 4 supplied screws taking care not to overtighten
the screws. Please ensure the wiring is recessed as much as possible in the hole it
emerges from and ensure that any remaining cable is stored in the cavity on the back
of the speaker. Press in the supplied screw covers to hide the screws.
7. To complete the installation, use a suitable RV sealant to seal around the edge of the
speaker to ensure a water tight seal.
NOTE: If you are unsure about any aspects of the installation, please seek the
advice of an experienced RV installation technician or electrician.
For installations in marine applications, home pergolas, pool and entertainment areas
etc., when a direct 12V power source is not available, please use the optional RV Media
110VAC/12VDC power adaptor* (sold separately). The power adaptor converts 110VAC
to the required 12VDC and features an extra long 9 foot power cord to ensure it reaches
the Bluetooth Speaker.
NOTE: The power adaptor should be located in a dry environment.
POWER UP THE SPEAKER LIGHT
To ensure easy operation when the Bluetooth Speaker Light is installed in place of an
awning light, use your RV awning light power switch to turn the Speaker Light on or
off. When the Speaker Light is installed in other locations using the optional 110VAC
to 12VDC power adaptor* (sold separately), please use the speaker’s on/off switch
(located on right hand corner of speaker) to turn the LED light on or off.
BLUETOOTH CONNECTION
The RV Media Bluetooth Speaker Light connects to devices such as Smart Phones
and Tablets using Bluetooth A2DP Audio Streaming technology.
1. When powered on, a red LED at the bottom of the speaker will illuminate to
indicate that it is switched on.
2. Within 3 seconds, the blue LED at the bottom of the speaker will illuminate to
indicate that the Bluetooth receiver is working.
3. If not connected to a Bluetooth transmitter such as a Smart Phone or other
Bluetooth transmitting device, the unit will switch to “discovery” mode waiting for
a Bluetooth connection. The blue LED will ash rapidly to indicate that the unit
is awaiting connection.
4. To connect to the speaker, open the Bluetooth menu on your device and search
for new devices. “RV Media” should be displayed as an available device.
(It may not appear for 15 seconds). Select “RV Media” to initiate connection.
NOTE: You do not need to enter a PIN code to connect a device to this speaker.
5. The blue LED will illuminate to show the connection is in progress and if
successful, it will now ash twice every 5 seconds conrming the device is
connected.
6. Only one device can be connected at a time but a maximum of 8 devices, once
paired, can be stored in memory. This means that a device previously paired will
automatically pair once the speaker is turned on providing the device is within
range. If, for example, a 9th device is paired with the speaker, the oldest device
will be erased and will need to be manually reconnected if used again.
7. Once connected to your device, you can then use your device’s audio controls to
start music playback and control the speaker’s volume level.
8. Audio may also be streamed from many Smart Phone apps such as Internet
Radio Stations, Youtube, video players, etc. This feature is dependent on app
and device capabilities, software and operation system version.
FIRST TIME USE NOTE: To ensure the Bluetooth Speaker Light remembers your
Bluetooth device, it may be necessary to manually disconnect your device from
the speaker on rst use (this is done on your device’s BT menu). This will ensure
it is memorized and therefore should connect automatically for subsequent use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
LIMITED WARRANTY
CLEANING
Most connection problems can be xed by manually disconnecting and reconnecting your
Bluetooth device to the RV Media Bluetooth Speaker Light.
CONNECTION SECURITY
While this device does not need a PIN code to allow devices to connect to it, your
connection is secure and cannot be disturbed by other nearby Bluetooth devices.
Once you have turned on the Bluetooth Speaker Light and connected your Bluetooth
device, the speaker ceases being in “discovery” mode and will not be visible to other
Bluetooth devices, ensuring your Bluetooth connection with the speaker is uninterrupted.
If while using the speaker, you want to connect a different device to it, it is suggested you
use the following procedure:
a) Turn off the speaker.
b) Turn off Bluetooth on the device that had been connected to the speaker.
c) Turn on the speaker and connect the new device to it.
NOTE: The reason you need to turn off Bluetooth on the original device is that the speaker
may connect to it rst (when you turn it back on) rather than the new device. Once the
new device is connected, you can turn on Bluetooth again on the original device.
This system ensures you have a secure connection between your devices and the
speaker that cannot be interrupted by nearby Bluetooth devices.
While the RV Media Bluetooth Speaker Light is fully waterproof, it is recommended that
when cleaning your RV with a pressure washer or high pressure hose that it be covered
with a plastic bag and taped to the edge of the speaker.
