NOTES: For the sake of simplicity, throughout this manual we have used the
term “source” when describing connections and operation. This would apply
to any device such as an A/V receiver, audio component, computer or portable
music player.
The JBL On Air Control 2.4G is designed for use in most countries worldwide,
depending upon local regulations. It includes 120V – 230V, 50/60Hz universal
power supplies for the transmitter module and the active speaker. While we
have included the two most commonly used AC cords with this product, your
ACelectrical outlet may require the use of a different AC cord. For your safety,
it is essential to use an AC cord that is fully compatible with your local electri-
cal system. When in doubt, please consult your local JBL dealer or distributor.
The JBL On Air Control 2.4Gmay be connected to your source in several ways.
