USE This device is designed for outdoor and indoor use. Increased resistance to moisture, water and shock. Ideal for use while working, but also a useful companion for garden party and other outdoor programs. In addition to radio, BT, USB music player and karaoke functions, it also has a built-in LED lamp. External devices such as: mobile phone, computers, CD / DVD player, musical instruments, microphones can be connected directly to the AUX and MIC inputs… Its built-in battery allows it to be operated for a long time without mains voltage.

POWER SUPPLY, CHARGING THE ACCUMULATOR

The battery must be charged before first use. Connect the supplied micro USB connection cable to the socket under the rubber cover and the other end to a USB adapter, mobile charger, computer, or another device with a USB socket. Leave the loudspeaker switched off. During charging – next to the volume control – a small red LED lights up, which goes out after full charging. Then unplug the power cord and use the device. When the battery is completely discharged, the charging time is approximately 9 hours. This provides approx. 30 hours of operation from the internal battery at medium volume. This also depends on the volume set, the mode selected and the ambient temperature. The test was performed by listening to the radio at room temperature. It can also be charged during use, but this increases charging time and can cause additional noise. The test was performed by listening to the radio at room temperature. It can also be charged during use, but this increases charging time and can cause additional noise.
„LO” appears on the display and the ”Low battery, please charge” announcement warns to charge.

This is also indicated by the declining volume and poorer sound quality.

• Switch off and unplug the charging cable after charging and use.
• Only leave connected after a full charge if the device is running continuously. Charging may occasionally cause noise in the speakers and degrade the quality of radio reception. This device is designed to be used with a battery, it is recommended to recharge it after use.
• The automatic battery charger works when the device is switched off. Therefore, disconnect the charging cable after charging is complete.
• Charge status indicator: when switched on, the battery symbol on the right side of the display shows the battery status. This symbol changes towards the end of the operating time.
• For longer life, keep the battery charged, even when not in use.
• The battery used is a lithium-ion type. It requires no maintenance. At the end of its service life, it can be replaced by a specialist after removing the control panel. The cover is fixed with screws.

INSTALLATION

Make all connections (AUX, MIC) when the device is switched off and the external devices to be connected must also be switched off. Make sure that the connections and polarity of the connectors are correct. Keep the microphone cable and audio connection cable away from the power cords. Turn on with the rotary knob on the right, then increase the volume slightly. After the HI greeting, the wireless BT switches to connection mode. If you have previously paired an external BT device with it – and it is nearby – the connection will be made automatically

FUNCTION CHANGE

The function to be operated can be selected by pressing the MODE button: BT- USB-FM-AUX-BT… Available multimedia functions: wireless BT connection, USB MP3 player, FM radio, AUX (LINE) audio input, external microphone input.

• USB and / or AUX mode cannot be selected if no data storage is connected with songs and / or external audio device with a 3.5 mm plug.
• The various functions are indicated by an English voice announcement.
• When used outdoors or in a dusty, humid place indoors, keep the rubber cover carefully closed.

THE MAXIMUM VOLUME

Every speaker must be eased into working before proper usage. In the first 30-50 operation hours it should only run at 50% capacity! At higher volume levels – in some cases – there may be distorted, low-quality sound. This can be caused by the too large input signal. To avoid this, reduce the signal level of the particular external equipment or if necessary the main volume (VOLUME). The system’s maximum volume is that which can still be heard without distortions.

• By further increasing the volume, there is no increase in output power, or even the distortion of the system increases! This is harmful to the loudspeaker and may cause malfunction!
• When connecting a microphone, place it as far away from the speaker box as possible to prevent excitation. Do not point the speaker at the microphone, as excitation may damage the speaker. When using a microphone, carefully increase the volume, and if you experience excitation, immediately rewind the control and, if necessary, move the speaker to another position.

WIRELESS BT CONNECTION

The device can be paired to other devices with BT protocol within a range of up to 10 meters. After that, you can listen to music played on mobile phone, tablet, notebook and other similar devices hands-free. Select BT function with the MODE button. Search for the speakers nearby including this speaker, the way it’s written in the instruction manual of the device to be paired. Connect the two devices together. After successful connection, the BT indicator flashing until then can be read continuously on the display.

Thereafter, the desired program can be heard from the speaker in good quality. The player device (e.g. the mobile phone) can usually be remotely controlled by pressing briefly the / / buttons. If you receive a call on your phone in the meantime, the music will pause. Answer the call as usual with your phone, and after the conversation ends, you can resume playing music.

You cannot listen to the telephone conversation on the radio.

• After turning it on, it will automatically reconnect to a previously paired and properly connected device if it is turned on nearby.
• If a wireless connection is interrupted, if necessary, keep pressing the MODE button, until it’s back to BT function, and pairing mode activates again.
• When a phone call is received on the connected mobile phone while listening to music, music playback pauses. After the conversation, start the continuation of playback on the phone if it does not happen automatically
• The actual range depends on the other device and the ambient conditions. (e.g. walls, human bodies, other electrical devices, movement …)
• In abnormal operation, noise can be caused by the electrical appliances nearby, this does not indicate a malfunction of the device!
• The abnormal operation may be caused by the specific features of the external device, which does not indicate a malfunction of the device! Occasionally, the BT function may operate limited due to the specific features of the external device.
• Charging may occasionally cause noise in the speakers and degrade the quality of radio reception. This device is designed to be used with a battery, it is recommended to recharge it after use.
