Bluetooth Operation

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. Press the INPUT button (3) repeatedly, until "bt" is shown on the display. Two short beeps can be heard. These signal that the device is in pairing mode.
3. Chose 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 "AEG BSS 4816" will show in your player as a selection.

i NOTE:

Only one playback unit can be connected to the speaker. If the speaker is already connected to another playback unit, the speaker 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 the registration was done successfully, a beep will sound. 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.

For operation, please refer to the section "Explanation of the operating keys" in the "Storage media mode" section.

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. The sound however is not played back via the speaker. After you have ended the call, the devices are connected to each other again and playback continues.
