performances, we advise you to respect the following recommendations:  Make sure that you correctly install the speakers at their respective positions: the iPod / iPhone docking station must be on your right.  To get an accurate reproduction of the bass frequencies, make sure there is a minimal distance of 40 cm between the back and lateral walls and the speaker. Bass frequencies will get louder if you place your speakers closer to the walls.  The sound quality of the Zikmu can be degraded if there is an obstacle or a wall between both speakers. Reposition your speakers if necessary. Installation Connection to mains supply Plug both speakers into an electrical outlet using the provided power cables. Remote control Insert the remote control battery into the specific battery compartment.
