When the built-in battery power remains around 5%, the CHARGE INDICATOR will light Red and flash, please connect the unit to AC outlet for charging.
After prolonged use, the battery voltage may discharge and operation might become intermittent. When this happens, please recharge the internal battery.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

CHARGING THE BATTERY WITH THE INCLUDED AC POWER CORD

Charge the built-in Lithium battery a minimum of 5 hours prior to first use. Firmly and securely insert the AC power cord into the AC Jack on the back of the unit.
Plug the other end of AC power cord into the 120V AC outlet. Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system.
When the AC power is connected, the battery charging indicator will light solid Red showing that the internal battery is being charged.
After the battery is fully charged, the charging indicator will turn to solid Green.

Notes:

Charging time will vary if you are listening to music while charging the internal battery. We recommend you place the unit in Power off mode during the charging process or until EPB-3004 batteries are fully charged.
To prolong the life of a rechargeable battery, it is recommended to completely discharge it before fully charging it again.
Rechargeable batteries need to be cycled for maximum performance and longer battery life. If you don’t use the player that often, be sure to recharge the battery at least once a month in order to keep the internal battery working properly.

Battery Note and Care

Do not burn or bury batteries.
Do not puncture or crush.
Do not disassemble.
Recycle Lithium batteries. Do not dispose of in the trash.
Charge batteries on a fireproof surface away from flammable items or liquids.
Batteries should NEVER be left unattended while charging. Only adults should charge the batteries.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for charging the product and do not charge longer than recommended. Unplug the AC power cord when the battery is charged or not in use.
NOTE: These speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color distortion on the screen of some TVs or video monitors. To avoid this, you may need to move the speakers further away from the TV or monitor if unnatural color shifts or image distortion occurs.

RADIO OPERATION

Slide the FUNCTION switch to RADIO position, the unit will be “On” and power LED indicator lights.
Select the desired FM mode by switching the FM/FM ST. BAND SELECTOR on unit top panel.

Adjust the MASTER VOLUME knob to obtain the desired sound level.

FM & FM-STEREO RECEPTION

Set the BAND SELECTOR to “FM” position. Stations will now be received in MONO mode. When a FM station is weak or distorted, listening is usually improved by switching the band selector to the FM (mono) position.
Set the band selector to “FM-ST” position to receive stereo broadcasts. The FM-Stereo LED indicator will light up to show a FM stereo station is detected.

TIPS FOR BEST RADIO RECEPTION

AM – The AM antenna is built inside the radio. If AM reception is weak, change the position of the unit until the internal antenna picks up the strongest signal.
FM – If a stereo broadcast program is being received, the FM STEREO INDICATOR will light. During FM Stereo reception, always keep the FM TELESCOPIC ANTENNA fully extended for best performance. However, if FM reception is weak, try repositioning the unit near an open window until you get the best reception.

If found, a brief welcome melody will be heard and Bluetooth indicator will change to solid on. If no active device is found, the unit will switch to interactive pairing mode and the Bluetooth indicator keeps flashing.
To establish a new link, turn on the Bluetooth function of your Bluetooth enabled device and enable the search or scan feature to find “Emerson EPB-3004” in the list of discoverable Bluetooth devices. Select the “Emerson EPB-3004” from your available device list when it appears on its screen and a brief welcome melody will be heard if pairing and connection is successful. If you are asked for a password, enter “0000”.
If no successful pairing and connection is made within 5 minutes, the unit can enter manual pairing mode. You need to press and hold the PAIR button until Bluetooth indicator flashes to initiate a pairing/connecting request to a new or old Bluetooth enabled device. Follow step #3 to complete the process.
After successfully pairing and connecting your device with EPB-3004, the unit will emit a brief welcome melody and the Bluetooth indicator will change to solid on. You can now play music from your Bluetooth enabled device wirelessly to the EPB-3004.
If you want to connect the EPB-3004 to another new external Bluetooth enabled device while paired with another device, press and hold the PAIR button for few seconds to disconnect the existing connection. The unit will emit two short beeps and Bluetooth indicator will change to flash. Repeat #3 to #4 above to make a new link.
