The Mute+ATMOS combination button press to determine the Battery Status was originally designed for production line testing, not for consumer usage.  We determined that this testing method was inaccurate and began testing using specialized external equipment.  As of Software Version V21.13.11.80, the ability to check Battery Status inaccurately has been removed.

When charging the satellite speakers you can be confident that the Battery Status is 100% when the LED indicator goes  out.  As well, when the LED begins blinking red, you are at 20% and should recharge or plug in your speakers.

A dedicated bass boost button located on the RIGHT ear cup on the CLUB 950NC & 700BT increases low-end frequencies of 5-6 dB adding a kick to your favorite tracks.

The BASSPRO GO receives is power ONLY from the harness that is connected to the car battery.  When connected to the harness, the car battery will charge the internal battery so that it is ready to be used as a portable the next time you need it.

When removed from the harness, the full-range portable speaker runs on the internal battery.  It cannot be charged via either of the USB (A or C) jacks.  It will be charged the next time it is connected to the harness in the vehicle.
 

The BASSPRO GO uses the original Connect feature.  It is not compatible with devices using the Connect+ or PartyBoost feature.  You can connect up to two BASSPRO GO speakers to each other using Connect, or you can connect a single BASSPRO GO to other JBL speakers that have the same Connect feature, like the Xtreme, Charge 3, Flip 3, and Pulse 2.
 

Installation of a powered subwoofer/speaker in an automobile requires specific knowledge and experience.  If you’ve read the manual and do not feel comfortable performing the installation and setup yourself, we recommend that installation be carried out at a specialized center by a professional.
