Hepburn Mk II Operation Guide GB
What can my Hepburn Mk II do apart from look fab? Here’s a brief run-down of your Hepburn Mk II’s capabilities. Everything is explained fully later in this guide.
Bluetooth speaker Lets you play audio from a Bluetooth source like a phone or mp3 player, and lets you control the playback from your Hepburn Mk II. The tracks on your phone will never have sounded so good.
DAB/DAB+ receiver Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is the next big thing in radio. Clarity, station choice and ease of tuning are often cited as benefits. There are two versions, DAB and DAB+. Your Hepburn Mk II works with either.
FM Radio DAB isn’t everywhere, so there’s an FM radio in your Hepburn Mk II so that you can still listen to radio wherever DAB is not available.
Auxiliary connection Lets you plug in and listen to an external audio source that doesn’t do Bluetooth, so your older devices aren’t left out.
Phone Charger When plugged in to the mains your Hepburn Mk II can charge a suitable phone or music player using its builtin USB connector. Convenient, and saves a power socket.
Dual Alarms Wake up to your favourite radio station ­ or the buzzer.
Countdown Timer A cooking timer with a range of up to 99 minutes makes your Hepburn Mk II even more useful in the kitchen.
