LITHIUM BATTERY OPERATION AND CHARGING

NOTE ON FIRST USE: BEFORE OPERATING THE POWER PLAYER FOR THE FIRST TIME ALWAYS FIRST FULLY CHARGE THE BATTERY. The Powerplayer can be operated by the built-in Lithium battery. During operation on battery power the approximate power level of the battery is displayed in the LCD display of the radio. Whenthebatterypowerlevelisverylow,thebatterysymbolashesonthedisplay. Under this condition, the battery should be recharged as soon as possible to continue normal operation of the Powerplayer. Charging time from empty to full battery is approximately 5-6 hours (at room temperature with radio in Standby mode). The Powerplayer can be charged in Standby mode as well as in On mode while playing music. While playing music the charging time will be longer than in Standby mode. The Powerplayer, for additional safety, will not start charging when the battery is already full or nearly full. NOTE ON PLAYING TIME ON BATTERY POWER: The achieved playing time on battery power depends on many factors such as: selected volume level, music type (bass heavy music consumes more energy), selected music source (DAB, FM, Bluetooth or AUX-IN), selected EQ setting, ambient temperature and age of the battery. Depending on these variables a playing time of approximately 18 to 24 hours on a medium set volume level can be achieved.5 6

NOTE ON LITHIUM BATTERY LIFE: If the Powerplayer is not used for any extended period of time, alwaysrstchargethebuilt-inbatteryuntilitisfull. The optimum working life from the built-in battery will be obtained if it is kept topped up by recharging after each use of the Powerplayer, even if it is only partially discharged. The battery’s working life will be reduced if the product is left in a discharged condition for a long period of time.

Do not attempt to replace or repair the built-in lithium battery. If you have any doubts about the built-in lithium battery, please contact the service department of Perfectpro for further assistance.

• When a Bluetooth enabled device such as your Powerplayer is in a ‘discoverable’ state other Bluetooth devices can detect, pair with or connect to it.

• ‘Bluetooth pairing’ occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to establish a connection and communicate with each other.

• The Bluetooth connected LED on the panel will blink fast with short intervals when it is discoverable or when it is trying to connect to a previously paired Bluetooth device. When a device is paired with and connects to the radio, the blue Bluetooth connected LED will blink slow with long intervals. Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting to your Powerplayer. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices. A Bluetooth connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of approximately ten metres. When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices, for convenience, we recommend they should be no more than 2 to 3 metres apart. The presence of other functioning Bluetoothdevicesduringconnectionmayleadtooperationaldifculties.

GBBluetooth is a short-range radio communication system and generally Bluetooth devices cancommunicatewitheachotherclearlywithinaregularsizedroomorofce.The reliability of a Bluetooth connection between different rooms will greatly depend upon the construction of the building. Bluetooth communication range may be substantially reduced if the signal passes through a solid object. Human bodies, brick and concrete walls, heavy furniture or bookcases will all reduce the operational range of your Bluetooth devices to a greater orlesserextent.Glass,dry-wallorwoodpanelledwallsandofcepartitionsmayhave a less severe but noticeable effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard, metal window frames and domestic wiring can also have an effect. You should position your Bluetooth devicesclosertoeachotherifyouobservecommunicationdifculties. WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies to Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is noticed, then try relocating the Powerplayer or one of the other devices. The Bluetooth capabilities of your Powerplayer enable it to receive audio from many Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers and tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your Powerplayer at a time. It supports thefollowingBluetoothprolesandfunctionality.

• Your PowerplayersupportsAVRCP(AudioVideoRemoteControlProle)that allows your radio to control music playback from the connected device. Note: Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your Powerplayer when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute their Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or for other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your Powerplayer. Pairing Bluetooth with your mobile phone
