6.1. General safety instructions for installation NOTICE! Risk of damage! Major changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture to build up within the device due to condensation – this can cause an electrical short circuit. After transporting the device, wait until it has reached ambient temperature before switching it on. Operate the device on a stable, level and vibration-free surface to prevent the device from falling. Several aggressive varnishes can corrode the rubber feet on the device. If necessary, place the device on a suitable underlay. Keep the device at a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequency or magnetic interference (televisions, other loudspeakers, mobile telephones etc.) to avoid malfunctions. Do not cover the device (with newspapers, covers etc.) to prevent overheating. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the device. The back panel must be lo- cated at least 5 cm away from walls or other objects and both sides of the device must be at least 1 cm away. The device can be operated at an ambient temperature of +5°C to +35°C. When switched off, the device can be stored at temperatures of between 0°C and +40°C. Never use the device anywhere that is damp or wet.124 6.2. Mains operation – connecting the mains cable NOTICE! Risk of damage! Improper use of the mains cable or use of a non-compatible mains cable can result in dam- age to the device. Only connect the device to a properly installed, earthed and fused socket. The mains voltage must match the technical specifications for the appliance. The socket must be near the device and easily accessible. Position the cables so that no one can tread on them or trip over them. To disconnect the device from the power supply, remove the plug from the mains socket. Always hold the plug firmly when unplugging it. To prevent damage, never pull on the cable. All multimedia devices that are connected to the device must comply with the require- ments of the Low Voltage Directive. Disconnect the device from the power supply during thunderstorms or when the product will not be used for a prolonged period. Do not place any objects on the cables as they may be damaged. Check the device and the connection cable for damage before using the device for the first time, and after each use. Do not use the device if you notice that it, or its mains cable, is damaged. You can operate the device using the mains cable supplied. Connect the mains cable connector to the connection socket on the back of the device and the mains plug of the mains cable to an easily accessible mains socket. NOTICE! Risk of damage! The device may be damaged if the connector is plugged in loosely during operation. Only operate the device with the connector fully plugged in. Before operating the party sound system from the mains, make sure that the connector is fully inserted into the connection socket (AC 100–240 ~ 50/60Hz). 6.3. Ba ery operation As soon as the sound system is connected to a power socket, the built-in rechargeable bat- tery begins charging automatically. The CHARGE LED continuously lights up red during charging. When charging is complete and the internal built-in battery is fully charged, the CHARGE LED continuously lights up green. If the battery charge level is too low, the CHARGE LED flashes red. The rechargeable battery is an integral component of the device and users must not repair or replace it themselves.125

6.4. Switch the device on/o Shift the On/Off switch to the ON position to switch on the device. The display lights up. Shift the On/Off switch to the OFF position to switch off the device. The display turns off. Even when switched off, the internal battery is charged until it is fully charged. As long as the sound system is connected to the power supply, it continues to consume a small amount of power even when the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the device from the power supply to switch it off completely. If the device receives no signal in Bluetooth®/USB/AUX mode for 15 minutes, it automatically switches to standby mode. Press the button to switch the sound system back on from automatic standby mode. 6.5. Aerial reception You will find a permanently installed FM wire aerial on the back of the sound system. Unwind the antenna completely and position it for the best-possible radio reception. If the playback volume on the external device is set too low, the sound system may receive insufficient audio signal and automatically switches to standby mode. In this case, increase the playback volume on the external device and re-establish the connection with the sound system. Press the button to switch the sound system back on from automatic standby mode.

7. Connecting an external playback device

Unplug the mains cable from the sound system before connecting it to an external device. Use the AUX IN jack to establish a connection with an external playback device (for exam- ple a CD player or MP3 player). Switch off the sound system. Switch off your external device. Plug the end of a 3.5 mm jack cable (not supplied with the device) into the AUX IN jack on the top of the device. Connect the other end of the cable to your external device. Switch on your external device. Switch on the sound system. Press the /FUNC. button once or several times until AUX is shown on the display. The audio signal from your external device will now be played back.126 When signals are being transmitted via a cable, it is not possible to control all operating func- tions using the buttons on the sound system. In this case, you have to rely on the controls on your external device.

8. Inserting USB memory devices

If necessary, remove the protective cap and insert the USB memory device into the USB port on the top of the device. Press the /FUNC. button once or several times until USB is shown on the display. Observe the following instructions regarding usable USB memory devices:

• As there are numerous different file systems and file formats, the connected storage me- dia cannot be guaranteed to function.

• Depending on the size of the data medium, it may take some time for the system to be detected.

• USB storage devices with a maximum memory capacity of up to 32 GB are supported.

• Supported file systems are FAT16 and FAT32. The supported file format is MP3.

• External hard disks are not supported.

• USB extension cables are not supported. The USB CHARGE port is intended exclusively for charging external devices (e.g. smart- phones) using an appropriate USB charging cable (not supplied), see section “13. Charging an external device via USB” on page130.

9. Connecting a device via Bluetooth®

In Bluetooth mode, you can receive wireless audio signals from an external Bluetooth-ena- bled audio output device. Make sure the two devices are not more than 10 metres apart. Only one Bluetooth device can be paired with the sound system at a time. To connect a Bluetooth-enabled audio output device, proceed as follows: Switch on the sound system. Press the /FUNC. button once or several times as required to switch back to Bluetooth mode. bt is shown on the display and the device is in search mode. During the search, the Blue- tooth LED PAIR flashes blue quickly. The sound system attempts to automatically connect itself to the last audio output device connected via Bluetooth. If this is not possible, the device remains in search mode. Switch on the Bluetooth function on your audio output device and activate search mode on it to pair the two devices.127

You will find more information about the Bluetooth function of your audio output device in its user manual. The device name of the party speaker “MD 44468” will be displayed in the device list on your audio output device as soon as the signal is found. Select the sound system and pair the two devices. If you are prompted to enter a pass- word, enter “0000”. Device pairing is complete when the Bluetooth LED PAIR continuously lights up blue and a signal tone sounds on the sound system. Start audio playback on your audio output device or press the button on the sound system. When signals are being transmitted via Bluetooth, it may not be possible to control all oper- ating functions using the buttons on the sound system. We also recommend setting the volume on your audio output device to maximum, and fine-tuning the volume on the sound system. To disconnect an existing Bluetooth connection, press and hold the button. A signal tone sounds and the Bluetooth LED PAIR flashes blue quickly. The sound system is now in search mode again and you can perform a new device pairing.
