BLUETOOTH AUDIO STREAMING
You can stream music via Bluetooth through your “U4X” by pairing your external Bluetooth device with your radio. Paring creates a link allowing the two devices to recognise each other.
The effective Bluetooth range between the system and the paired device is approximately 10 meters (30 feet). Any obstacle between your radio and the device can reduce this range. Some paired Bluetooth devices may not support all the features.

Pairing with an external Bluetooth device

Activate Bluetooth on your external device following the external device instructions.
Press the POWER button to switch on your radio.
Select the Bluetooth mode by pressing and releasing the SOURCE button. The “BT Pairing” will show on the LCD display and the Bluetooth icon in the bottom bar of the display will blink.
For a first time pairing, open the list of detected Bluetooth devices on the external device and select “U4X”. If the pairing is successful, the name of the external device will replace the message “BT Pairing” on the LCD display. The Bluetooth icon in the bottom bar of the display will stop blinking. Some devices may feature an earlier version of Bluetooth than “BT 2.1” and might require a password, in which case input the default password “0000”.
If two external Bluetooth devices are attempting to pair for the first time, both will search for your radio. However, after the first one pairs with your radio, the other device won’t find it on its list.
If a previously paired device is within range and its Bluetooth function is active, the radio will automatically attempt to connect to it. If the automatic pairing fails, pairing can be done manually by selecting “U4X” in the external device list of the detected Bluetooth devices. If “U4X” appears in the list of your external device but it’s impossible to connect to it, please delete it from your list and follow the procedure for first time pairing.
Once your radio is paired, simply select and play any music from your source device. Adjust the volume either from your external device or directly on your radio.

Use the controls on your external device to play, pause and navigate tracks. Alternatively, control the playback using the PLAY / PAUSE, NEXT TRACK, PREVIOUS TRACK buttons on your radio.
Press and hold the NEXT TRACK or PREVIOUS TRACK button to fast forward or rewind within a track and releasethe button when the desired point is reached. These controls are not supported by all applications and devices.
Notes:

If your radio is already paired to a device, a further pairing will not be possible, and your radio will not appear on the list of detected Bluetooth devices on the external device.
Your radio can memorise up to 6 paired devices and will overwrite the oldest pairing history when this number is exceeded.
Some mobile phones may temporarily stop their Bluetooth audio streaming and disconnect from your radio when making or receiving phone calls, when they receive text messages or emails, or for other reasons unrelated to the audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function of the external device and does not indicate a fault with your radio.
