The touch panel works properly when used with one nger only. Why is the Model L/XL turning itself off? The energy saving function turns the Model L/XL automatically off. The Model L/XL will automatically turn itself off after 15 minutes if there is no active Bluetooth connection, no CD is playing or if there is no signal at the Line-in inputs.

Up to three paired Bluetooth devices can be stored. To clear the memory, perform the following steps:

until “RESET” displays.

3. Pair your mobile phone again.

What is the PIN for a Bluetooth connection? The PIN is: 0000 ( 4 zeros ). Not all computers or mobile phones require a pin code during initial setup ( Pairing ). I have an unreliable connection with dropouts when listening via Bluetooth.

• Move the mobile phone closer to the Model L/XL.

• Move away or turn off other wireless devices that can disturb a Bluetooth connection ( for example WLAN / Wi-Fi, other mobile phones etc. ). The FM automatic search does not nd all stations. The FM automatic search function ( hold

keys ) nds only stations with a strong signal. How do I erase or overwrite a preset? Stored presets do not need to be erased — just use the steps to store a new station in a preset.

Every time a key is pressed on the remote control, a small red light on the display lights up briey. How can I change the remote control battery?

1. Push the small lever in the direction of the arrow

with your nger or a small screwdriver.

2. While holding the small lever, slide out the battery

Verify that the battery is inserted with the right polarity.

How is it possible to hear in stereo from only one speaker? Inside the wood cabinet there are two ( Model L ) or four ( Model XL ) acoustic chambers, for the left and right channels. Using the EmbracingSound

algo- rithm Model L/XL creates a real stereo reproduction with two acoustic chambers that are very close to each other. How do I clean the device? Use a soft, dry cloth to avoid making scratches on the surface. Do not use cleaning alcohol, or other solvent uids to clean the surface of the Cabinet as this can both damage the lacquer and also cause electrical failures. Before cleaning, unplug the device from the AC power outlet. SUPPORT More information and additional troubleshooting Check the “Support” pages at genevalab.com.
