NOTE: Ifpossible,adjustthevolumeoftheexternalunittoacom- fortable level. Cordless via Bluetooth Bluetooth involves a technology for wireless radio connec- tion 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 canbecausedforexamplebyWLAN-networks,DABradios, cordless phones, or microwave ovens which work on the same frequency band. This device offers you the possibility to use a Bluetooth- enableddevice.Thefunctionalradiusislimitedtoapprox.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 be- tween the playing device (source) and the receiving device. To be able to remotely control the source, the playback de- vice 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.

• Loggingondevices(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.

USB port (5) This device has been developed in line with the latest techni- cal 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 com- patibility 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.
