With some old-type mobiles (versions earlier than BT2.1 Bluetooth device), you may need to input the pass code “0000”.

4. Your Bluetooth device will be linked with the radio.
5. Once connected, “BLUETOOTH” will remain on the display, and the backlight will dim out in 10 seconds.

You can now play the music on your Bluetooth-enabled device via your radio.

How do I play a Bluetooth device that has already been paired?

1. Press the Source button to select the Bluetooth function. “BT READY” will be shown on the display, and “READY” will flash with every 2-second interval.
2. Search and link the radio on your Bluetooth device. Some devices may link with the radio automatically.

You can now play the music on your Bluetooth-enabled device via your radio.

The radio can pair with 8 Bluetooth devices at most. When you pair Bluetooth devices more than this number, the pairing history will be overwritten from the oldest pairing history. If there are 2 Bluetooth devices searching for your radio, it will show its availability on both devices. If your Bluetooth device is temporarily disconnected from your radio, then you need to manually reconnect your device again to the radio. If the name of your radio appears on your Bluetooth device list but your device cannot connect with it, please delete the item name of your radio from your list and pair the device with your radio again following the steps described previously. The effective operation range between the radio and the paired device is approximately 10 meters (30 feet). Any obstacle between the radio and the device can reduce the operational range.

How does the USB jack charging function work?

• The USB jack charging function can work in all modes except AM mode. The AM band is automatically changed to the FM band when charging starts.
• The maximum volume of the output power speaker will decrease when your USB is charging.
• The USB socket can provide a max of 1A5V of electrical current.

Before connecting a USB device to the charger, always back up your data of the USB device. Otherwise, your data may be lost by any possibility. The charger may not supply power to some USB devices. When not using or after charging, remove the USB cable and close the cover. Do not connect a power source to the USB port because there is a risk of fire. The USB port is only intended for charging lower voltage devices. Always place the cover onto the USB port when not charging the lower voltage device. Do not insert a nail, wire, etc., into the USB power supply port because a circuit short may cause smoke and fire. Do not connect this USB socket with your PC USB port, as it is highly possible that it may cause a breakdown of the units.

What are some important safety instructions to follow?

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

1. Read this instruction manual and the charger instruction manual carefully before use.
2. Clean only with a dry cloth.
3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
5. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long periods of time.
6. A battery-operated radio with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
7. Use battery-operated radio only with specifically designated battery packs. The use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
8. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
9. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
10. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
