How do I clean the radio?

Always unplug the power adapter. Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth (no additives). Do not immerse the device in water.

Why is there no sound when using Bluetooth?

Ensure the audio source is paired and Bluetooth is activated. Increase volume on both devices. Check that the audio source supports A2DP. Also make sure the radio is in BT mode and not in another mode.

What is the Bluetooth range?

The Bluetooth range is approximately 15 meters (about 50 feet) in open space. Walls, obstacles, and interference from other devices can reduce the range.

USB port

This device has been developed in line with the latest technical advances in the USB field. The wide range of different USB storage devices of all types which are currently on the market, unfortunately do not allow us to guarantee full compatibility with all USB storage devices. For this reason, in rare cases there may be problems in playing back files from USB storage devices. This is not a malfunction of the device.

1. Flip open the cover (11).
2. Set the function selector (6) to the "USB" position.
3. Directly connect a USB storage medium to the respective port. Playback then begins.

i NOTE:

• Always directly connect a USB storage medium to the USB port to prevent any malfunctions.
• The USB port is not suitable for charging external devices.

4. Operation:

• Skip to the next, previous title respectively with the NEXT / PREV buttons (5/4). If you keep the buttons pressed down, a music search will start.
• You can interrupt the replay with the PLAY/PAUSE buttons (3). The number of the current title will flash in the display. If you push the button again, the replay will start in the same location.

Always keep the cover closed when not using it.

CAUTION:

Before you remove the USB memory medium, switch the device to Radio operation.

i NOTE:

• The USB operating voltage is only active in "USB mode".
• The 5V needed for USB mode cannot be guaranteed if the batteries are not sufficiently charged. Insufficiently charged batteries may lead to breaks in sound when playing music from the USB in battery mode. If this is the case, insert new batteries or operate the unit with the mains adapter.

Playing back music via Bluetooth

Bluetooth involves a technology for wireless radio connection of devices over a short distance. Devices with Bluetooth standard are transmitting between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz in the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). Interference can be caused for example by WLAN-networks, DAB radios, cordless phones, or microwave ovens which work on the same frequency band.

This device offers you the possibility to use a Bluetooth-enabled device. The functional radius is limited to approx. 15 metres depending on the surroundings and the unit used.

If your playing device supports the A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and has a music-player function, then you can also wirelessly transfer music to the device. The A2DP profile involves a multi-vendor Bluetooth profile. By streaming, stereo-audio signals are wirelessly transferred between the playing device (source) and the receiving device. To be able to remotely control the source, the playback device must support the AVRCP profile (Audio Video Remote Control Profile).

Due to the different device manufacturers, models, and software versions, a full functionality cannot be guaranteed.

Logging on devices (Pairing)

Before you listen to music via the unit, you must pair the devices.

1. Ensure, that the Bluetooth function is activated in your player (e.g. mobile phone). For this, refer to the operation manual of your player.
2. Set the function selector (6) to the "BT" position. The POWER control lamp flashes blue. This indicates that the unit is in pairing mode.
3. Choose the Bluetooth menu in your player and register the device in your player. For this, refer to the operation manual of your player. The device "BR 835 BT" will show in your player as a selection.

i NOTE:

Only one playback device can be connected with the device at one time. If the device is already connected with another playback device, the device will not appear in the BT selection menu.

1. Now enter the password "0000" in your player, depending on the device manufacturers, model, and software version.

If pairing has been successfully completed, the POWER control lamp will light up blue. For the further procedure, please refer to the user manual of the playback unit. If possible, adjust the volume of the external unit to a comfortable level.

NOTE:

• Depending on the device manufacturer, you need to perform the registration (PAIRING) again to connect the devices.
• In case of problems with the registration of a replay device, deactivate the WiFi-/ and mobile data function in your playback device.
• The Bluetooth compatibility cannot be ensured for devices (e.g. mobile phones) getting released in the future.
• To ensure an optimal connection, make sure that the battery of your player is completely charged.
• Some of the mobile phone brands have an energy-saving mode. Deactivate the energy-saving mode as it can otherwise result in problems during the data transfer through Bluetooth.
• To be able to transfer audio data, Bluetooth needs to stay activated in your player. Observe the operation manual of your player.
• If a mobile phone on which you are playing music receives a call, the music will be interrupted. However, the sound is not played back by the device. After you have ended the call, the devices are connected to each other again and playback continues.

Control buttons

NOTE:

Not all functions may be supported, depending on the player.

• Skip to the next, previous title respectively with the NEXT / PREV buttons (5/4). If you keep the buttons pressed down, a music search will start.
• You can interrupt the replay with the PLAY/PAUSE buttons (3). The number of the current title will flash in the display. If you push the button again, the replay will start in the same location.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING:

Do not immerse the device in water.

• Always remove the mains plug before cleaning the machine.
• Any marks on the surface can be wiped off with a slightly damp cloth without any additives.
