• Connect the microphone with the port MIC 1 or MIC 2.

• Slide the switch on the microphone upward in the direction "ON".
• Adjust the microphone volume with the MIC VOL control.
• Use the ECHO MIC control to generate echo effects.
• Turn off the microphone when you do not use it. Slide the switch downward in the direction "OFF".

2. Control the guitar volume with the GUITAR VOL control.

Playing Back Music Files

You can play back your own music files in three ways: Via cable, cordless via Bluetooth, or via the USB port.

By Cable (Cable not included)

1. If required, use a suitable adapter (not included).

Connect the external device as follows:

• Connect to the PC / AUX IN socket using a 3.5 mm stereo jack plug cable.

• Use the FUNCTION button to select AUX mode.

• Start the playback of your audio source. Listen to the sound playback via the speaker.
• For the further procedure, please refer to the user manual of the external audio source.

NOTE:

If possible, adjust the volume of the external unit to a comfortable level.

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 2.480GHz in the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). Interference

38 English

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 profi le (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and has a music-player function, then you can also wirelessly transfer music to the device. The A2DP profi le involves a multi-vendor Bluetooth profi le. 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. Select the BLUETOOTH mode using the FUNCTION button. The control lamp will blink blue. "PAIRING" appears in the display. This signalizes that the device 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 "AEG EC 4836" will show in your player as a selection.

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.
Press the SCAN button to disconnect an existing Bluetooth connection. The control lamp (2) flashes blue.

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

After successful pairing, the control lamp (2) lights up blue. "CONNECT" appears in the display. 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.

NOTE:

• 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.

Playing Music via USB

This device has been developed in line with the latest technical advances in the USB fi eld. 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 fi les from USB storage devices. This is not a malfunction of the device. Only use commercially available USB sticks.

1. Press the FUNCTION button repeatedly until "USB-1 or USB-2" is shown on the display.
2. Connect a USB storage device directly into the port. After that, " - READING - " appears in the display. Playback will automatically start after a few seconds.

For operation, please refer to the section "Description of the control buttons".

NOTE:

Always directly connect a USB storage medium to the USB port to prevent any malfunctions.
The USB ports are not designed for charging external devices.
- Please note: The USB ports are only intended for playing music from USB sticks. It only provides a low power (100 mA) power supply. Those USB ports are not suitable for using external 2.5" hard drives with start-up currents of up to 1100 mA. In order to play music from your smartphone, iPod or iPhone, connect the designated AUX IN socket.

CAUTION:

Switch the device to a different operating mode before you remove the USB storage device.
