How do I pair my turntable with a Bluetooth device?

Ensure the function knob is set to Phono mode. Also check that the turntable platter is free and the belt is properly engaged. If using battery, ensure it is charged.

Connect the turntable to your PC via the included USB cable. Install Audacity (or other software). Select the USB turntable as input device, then press record and start playback on the turntable.

Can I play 78 RPM records on this turntable?

No, this model supports only 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds. It is not designed for 78 RPM records.

How do I charge the internal battery and how long does it last?

Connect the AC adapter to the turntable and a wall outlet. The red charging LED will illuminate. Charging time is not specified; typical for such models is 2-4 hours for a full charge. Battery life is enough for several hours of playback.

Check that the power adapter is properly connected and the outlet works. If using battery, ensure it is charged. Also try turning the volume/power knob clockwise.
