Powering the radio

1. Battery operation

  1. Installing the batteries, first turn battery cover fixture anti-clockwise to loosen and open the battery cover.

Note:

Before you insert the batteries, if you use non-rechargeable batteries, make sure the NiMH/Alkaline switch which located inside the battery compartment is switched to Alkaline position. If you use rechargeable batteries, make sure to switch NiMH/Alkaline switch to NiMH position.

  1. Insert 6 × AA size (UM-3) battery into the compartment. Ensure the batteries are inserted in accordance with the diagram shown. Close the battery cover and fasten the fixture by turning clockwise. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time, it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio. Reduced power, distortion and a stuttering sound or "Battery Low" showing on the display are all signs that the batteries need replacing or recharging. (see below information on "charging the batteries").

When playing on (rechargeable) batteries the output power is less compared to the output power when playing on AC mains power. Because of this the

1.

PerfectPro UBOX 400R - Note: - 2
2.

PerfectPro UBOX 400R - Note: - 3
3.

sound can be somewhat distorted at the highest volume settings.

2. AC operation

Before you plug the AC cord into the AC socket, make sure the voltage is correct. If you have batteries in the radio and use the AC power cord, the batteries will automatically be disconnected.

Power cord storage is designed to store the cord when the radio is not in use.

Charging the batteries

Make sure the radio is switched off and connected to the AC mains socket.

When the battery charge indicator LED flashes green, this indicates the batteries are charging. Batteries will be fully charged in around 5-7 hours. The battery charge indicator LED shows steady green light when the battery charging process is complete.

Note:

Duration for charging your batteries fully can vary according to the mAh capacity of the batteries. Higher mAh batteries require longer charging time.

GB

Important:

Under some conditions the charging LED indicator may switch off after flashing briefly. This may happen if the batteries are already freshly charged, or if the radio detects that you may be attempting to recharge alkaline batteries or mixed different types or capacity of rechargeable battery. In these cases the charging will be stopped.

INSTALL ONLY PRE-CHARGED (TO THE SAME VOLTAGE LEVEL) NIMH BATTERIES WITH "LOW SELF-DISCHARGE" CHARACTERISTICS. USE OF ORIGINAL PERFECTPRO BATTERIES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CHARGING AND USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

  1. Recharge the batteries in any case at least every 2 months.
  2. Make sure the Battery Select switch next the battery compartment is set to the "CHARGE NiMH ON" position.
  3. Put the batteries in the compartment whilst paying attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+ and -).
  4. First use: Charge new batteries in one continuous, uninterrupted, charge until they are full. This first charge may take longer than normal. For longer battery life it is advised to always recharge in one continuous, uninterrupted charge until batteries are full and to not recharge again whilst the batteries are still full.
  5. New batteries will only reach their full capacity after some time of use (several charge - discharge cycles).
  6. Leave the complete group of batteries in place inside the radio and do not use these batteries or a few of them for other purposes. This will result in a mix of (fully) charged and (partly) empty batteries. This can seriously damage the batteries and radio when recharged.
  7. It is advised to only charge batteries at room temperatures between 5 degrees C - 35 degrees C. In lower or higher temperatures full charge cannot be

achieved.

  1. Depending on the capacity of the batteries, charging from "empty" to "full" can take several hours, even up to 7 hours or more.
  2. Do not charge batteries when the radio is hot or exposed to heat or heat sources.
  3. It is advised to clean the metal contacts of the batteries and of the charger inside the radio e.g. with a contact-spray from time to time.
  4. Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
  5. Do not use a mix of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
  6. Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
  7. Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
  8. Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
  9. Battery level indication is an approximate indication only and can vary with battery type used.
  10. Batteries can become hot during charging.

  11. In cold conditions the capacity of batteries will be much lower than when used at normal room temperature.

  12. Batteries (even when supplied with the radio), as being consumables, do not fall under the warranty conditions of the radio.
  13. It is advised to use Perfectpro rechargeable batteries as the radio and its charger were developed for use with these batteries.
  14. Batteries should not be disposed of by incineration and with household waste.
  15. Disposable batteries should be taken to a suitable recycling center if possible.

Battery charging indicator

Please note that the battery charging status detection can only be activated when the radio is in charging mode (i.e. the radio is switched off, the battery switch slides to the NiHM position and it is connected to the AC mains socket).

Listening music via Bluetooth streaming

You need to pair your Bluetooth device with your UBOX 400R before you can auto-link to play/stream Bluetooth music through your UBOX 400R. Pairing creates a 'bond' so the two devices can recognize each other.

Pairing and playing your Bluetooth device for the first time

  1. Press the Power On/Off button to switch on your radio and press the Source button to select Bluetooth function. "Bluetooth Pairing" will show on the display. The Bluetooth status indicator ( on the radio will flash a fast blue to show the radio is discoverable.
  2. Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device's user manual to link to the radio. Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device named 'UBOX 400R' (With some Smartphone's that are equipped with earlier versions than BT2.1 Bluetooth device, you may need to input the pass code "0000").
  3. Once connected, there will be a confirmation tone sound and the name of your connected Bluetooth device will show on the display. The Bluetooth status indicator ( will turn a solid blue. You can simply select and play any music from your source device. The volume control can be adjusted from your source device, or directly from the radio.

  4. Use the controls on your Bluetooth-enabled device on the radio to play/pause and navigate tracks.

(Note: To disable Bluetooth status indicator ( 出 ), please refer to the later section "Bluetooth status indicator On/Off".)

Note:

1). If 2 Bluetooth devices are pairing for the first time, both will search for your radio, it will show its availability on both devices. However, if one device links with this unit first, then the other Bluetooth device will not find it on the list.
2). If you take your source device out of range, the connection will be temporarily disconnected to your radio. Your radio will automatically reconnect if the source device is brought back in range. Be aware that during the period of disconnection, no other Bluetooth device can pair or link with your radio.
3). If 'UBOX 400R' shows in your Bluetooth device list but your device cannot connect with it, please delete the item from your list and pair the device with the radio again following the steps described previously.
4). The effective operation range between the system and the paired device is approximately 10 meters (30 feet). Any obstacle between the system and the

device can reduce the operational range.

5). Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting to your radio. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices.
6). With some mobile phones, making/receiving calls, text messages, e-mails or any other activities unrelated to audio streaming may mute the Bluetooth audio streaming or even temporarily disconnect from your device. Such behavior is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your UBOX 400R.

Display modes - Bluetooth

Your UBOX 400R has a range of display options when in Bluetooth mode. Note that the availability of information depends on the specific media format.

  1. Press and release the Info/Menu button to cycle through the different options.
