Quick guide from the manual

The SAL PAR 182BT is a portable party sound box designed for home entertainment. It features a built-in battery, Bluetooth connectivity, FM radio, and karaoke support. Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged. Use the -OFF ON+ knob to power the unit on and off. The unit supports USB and microSD media playback (FAT32 format recommended).

Charging the battery

The battery must be charged before first use. Connect the supplied charging cable to the DC 5V microUSB socket on the sound box and the other end to a USB power supply (mains charger, car charger, or power bank). A charging LED illuminates during charging and turns off when complete. Charging takes approximately 4.5 hours, providing up to 13 hours of operation at medium volume.

Putting into use

Ensure the unit is disconnected from the mains when making connections. Switch off both the sound box and the device to be connected. Turn the unit on using the -OFF ON+ knob. The unit will automatically enter BT mode. If a USB or microSD device is inserted, playback will start automatically.

Volume control and function switching

Volume can be adjusted using the -OFF ON+ knob or the VOL+ / VOL- buttons on the remote controller. To switch between functions (FM RADIO, USB, microSD, BT, AUX), press the MODE button briefly on the unit or hold it for 2 seconds on the remote controller.

Wireless BT connection

To pair with a device: 1. Select BT mode using the MODE button. 2. Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device and search for the sound box. 3. Connect the devices. Once connected, the flashing BT indicator will remain lit.

Stereo wireless BT connection (TWS)

You can pair two identical sound boxes for stereo sound: 1. Turn off BT on your phone. 2. Turn on both sound boxes and ensure they are in BT mode. 3. Wait for the acoustic signal indicating they have connected to each other. 4. Enable BT on your phone and pair with the sound box.

Using the radio

Select FM radio mode with the MODE button. To start automatic tuning and storage, press and hold the PLAY/PAUSE button for 2 seconds. Use the stepping keys to navigate between stored stations.

Karaoke microphone function

Connect the supplied microphone to the MIC socket. Ensure the microphone switch is in the OFF position before connecting. Slowly increase the volume using the MIC VOL control. The microphone sound is echoed.
