IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
When using this product, 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 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.  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.

6. Use battery operated radio only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

7. When 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

11. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
    or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C (266°F) may cause explosion.

12. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the  battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

13. Do not use the product at a high volume for any extended period. To avoid hearing damage, use the product at moderate volume level.

14.  (For products with LCD display only) LCD displays include liquid which may cause irritation and poisoning. If the liquid enters the eyes, mouth or skin, rinse it with water and call a doctor.

15.  Do not expose the product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the product will increase the risk of electric shock.

LISTENING TO MUSIC VIA BLUETOOTH STREAMING

You need to pair your Bluetooth device with the radio before you can auto-link to play/stream Bluetooth music through the radio. Pairing creates a ‘bond’ so two devices can recognize each other.
Note:

• To have the better sound quality, we recommend setting the volume to more than two-thirds level on your Bluetooth device and then adjust the volume on the radio as required.
• The radio can memorize up to 8 sets of paired device, when the memory exceeds this amount, the oldest pairing history will be over written.

Pairing your Bluetooth device for the first time

1. Press the Power button to turn on the radio. Press the  Mode button to select Bluetooth mode. The Bluetooth status icon flashes on the display to show the radio is discoverable.
2. Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device’s user manual to link to the radio. Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device with the name of your radio (With some mobiles which are equipped with earlier versions than BT 2.1 Bluetooth device, you may need to input the pass code “0000”). Once connected, there will be a confirmation tone sound. The Bluetooth icon will cease flashing. You can simply select and play any music from your source device. Volume control can be adjusted from your source device, or directly from the radio.
3. Use the controls on your Bluetooth-enabled device or on the radio to play/pause and navigate tracks.

Note:

• If 2 Bluetooth devices, pairing for the first time, both search for the radio, it will show its availability on both devices. However, if one device links with this unit first, then the other Bluetooth device won’t find it on the list.
• If your Bluetooth device is temporarily disconnected to the radio, then you need to manually reconnect your device again to the radio.
• If the name of your radio shows in your Bluetooth device list but your device cannot connect with it, please delete the item from your list and pair the device with the radio again following the steps described previously.
• The optimal Bluetooth transmission range is approximately 10meters (33feet) in line of sight to the radio, but a distance up to 30meters (100feet) is possible.
• If Bluetooth connection is lost due to exceeding time of separation, exceeding the optimum distance, obstacles  or otherwise, reconnecting your device with the radio may be necessary.
• Physical obstacles, other wireless devices or electromagnetic devices may affect the connection quality.
• Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting to the radio. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices.

Playing audio files in Bluetooth mode

When you have successfully connected the radio with the chosen Bluetooth device you can start to play your music using the controls on your connected Bluetooth device.

1. Once playing has started, the volume can be adjusted both on the radio using the Volume buttons and on the Bluetooth device using the volume control of the device.
2. Use the controls on your Bluetooth device to play/ pause and navigate tracks. Alternatively, control the playback using Play/Pause, Next track, Previous track buttons on your radio.
3. Press and hold the Fast-forward or Rewind button to move through the current track. Release the button when the desired point is reached.

Note:

• Some player applications or devices may not respond to all of these controls.
• Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from the radio when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute their Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or for other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with the radio.

Playing a previously-paired Bluetooth source device
If your Bluetooth device already paired with the radio previously, the unit will memorize your Bluetooth device and it attempts to reconnect with a device in memory which is last connected. If the last connected device is not available, the radio will be discoverable

Disconnecting your Bluetooth device

• Press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button for 2-3 seconds until the Bluetooth status icon flashes on the display or turn off Bluetooth on your Bluetooth device to disable the connection.
• You can also press the Mode button to select any mode other than Bluetooth mode to disable the connection.
