Use

You have two ways to use the device: By cable or cordless via Bluetooth.

By cable

1. Connect the 3.5 mm stereo RCA cable to an external audio source. If required, use a suitable adapter (not included).

Cordless via Bluetooth

NOTE:

If an audio cable is connected to the AUX IN jack (3), a connection via Bluetooth is not possible.

Bluetooth is a technology for wireless radio connection of devices over a short distance. Devices with Bluetooth standard transmit between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz in the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). Interferences can however be caused by WLANs, networks, wireless telephones, or microwave ovens, for example, which operate in 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.

50 English

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 operate the source by remote control, the player needs to 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. Turn on the volume by briefly pressing the ⚠ button (1). The indicator light (2) will start to flash rapidly after a short time. The device is now set to the 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 "BSS 4817" will show in your player as a selection.
4. Now enter the password "0000" in your player, depending on the device manufacturers, model, and software version.

If the playback device was recognized, the Bluetooth indicator light (2) will blink slowly. After successful registration, you can hear a signal and the Bluetooth indicator light (2) will blink slowly.

• If you encounter problems with the pairing of a playback device, deactivate the WiFi and mobile data functions on your playback device.
• Bluetooth compatibility cannot be guaranteed for devices (e.g., mobile phones) released in the future.
• To ensure an optimal connection, make sure that the battery of your player is fully charged.
