Guide to features (front)

1. Volume Knob : Rotate the volume knob to the right to increase the volume or to the left to decrease the volume. This knob also controls the volume of the headphone output.
2. OFF/FM/AM/AUX KNOB : Turn the knob one click to the right to hear the FM band, two clicks to the right to hear the AM band, or three clicks to the right to select the auxiliary input. To activate Bluetooth, switch to the Auxiliary position and follow the steps outlined in the “Bluetooth Operation” section.
3. Tuning Knob : Rotate the analog tuning dial to the right or to the left to adjust the FM (upper half of dial) or AM (lower half of dial) frequency range.
4. Tuning Indicator : Brightest when best tuning has been achieved. Some listenable AM stations will not light the tuning indicator and should be tuned by ear for the clearest signal. This light may or may not remain lit when in the AUX position depending upon the position of the AM dial.
5. Power Indicator : Glows when the source knob is in any position other than Off.

Guide to features (rear panel)

1. 12VDC/800MA : This input is for use with an optional 1A fused, 12VDC adaptor, for operation in a boat or camper. The connector must be 5.5mm/2.1mm center positive.

2. FM Antenna Switch : Switch between internal and external FM antennas. This switch has no affect on AM reception.

3. External FM connection : In some cases, FM reception may be improved by sliding the included external FM antenna over this “F” connector and setting the antenna switch to External. For more, see the section marked Reception. When disconnecting the included FM antenna, always firmly grasp the black connector. Never pull on the wire itself or you may damage the antenna.

4. External AM Connection : In some cases, AM reception may be improved by connecting an external AM antenna (not included) to this jack, which accepts a 1/8″ male stereo mini connector. For more, see the section marked Reception.

5. Headphone out : Connect a headset (not included) to this variable stereo output for private listening. The headset will mute the primary speaker. The headset’s volume is adjusted using the volume knob. This stereo output accepts a 1/8″ stereo male mini connector. Avoid using headphones at high volume levels to prevent possible hearing damage.

6. AUX IN : To hear audio from another device, such as a CD player, MP3 player, or computer, connect said device’s audio output to this stereo input and switch the front source knob to Aux. Switching to the Aux position does not turn on the connected device. This stereo input accepts a 1/8″ stereo male mini connector. The left and right stereo signal is summed to mono. The AUX IN jack is unavailable when a Bluetooth device is connected. You must first disconnect any Bluetooth device to use the wired AUX IN function.
   NOTE : You may need to adjust the volume level differently for an auxiliary device than the level used for radio listening.

7. REC out : You can record from the Model One BT radio by connecting a cassette deck’s audio input (or other recording device) to this fixed level stereo output. You can also use the Model One BT radio as a high performance analog tuner by connecting it to the audio input of a preamplifier or integrated amplifier. The primary speaker will not be muted when using this output. This jack accepts a 1/8″ stereo male mini connector.

8. 117v : Connect the included power cord to this input. When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always grab it by the plug. We recommend using a powerstrip with surge protection. When disconnecting the power cord, always grasp it firmly at the connector. Never pull on the cord itself. Do not bundle the power cord together with the external FM antenna or any audio cables, as this can inject noise in the audio path.

When streaming music, you can press the blue arrow to the right of the next track button >>/ on the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad display to alternate between the iPhone/iPod/iPad and Bluetooth.

• The Model One BT will remember pairing information for up to 8 devices. Additional devices can be paired, but the least-recently used device will be replaced by the newly paired device
• If the audio drops out or stops during playback, move your device closer to the Model One BT, or check to be sure another wireless device is not interfering with the signal.
• When switching from Bluetooth to AM or FM, you may need to re-adjust (lower) the radio’s volume level.

Reception

The internal FM and AM antennas will provide good reception. An optional outdoor antenna will provide the best possible reception. Another alternative is to use an optional FM dipole antenna with adapter. Connecting your cable television 75ohm coaxial cable to the external FM connection may also provide clear local reception, although you must usually request activation of this service through your cable company.

For AM, rotate the radio for best reception. An optional external AM wireless or wired antenna may provide improved AM reception.

Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household appliances, electric blankets, computers, CD players, and other electronic devices can also adversely affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the Model One BT radio further from the offending device or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device. Metal surfaces may also hinder AM reception.

Placement

Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Do not block the bottom bass port. The Model One BT radio is not video shielded and should be kept at least 5″ away from a computer monitor or television. The Model One BT radio can be positioned vertically as well as horizontally. Placement in a bookcase, cabinet, or close to walls or corners may inflate the bass.

Cleaning

Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your radio. Avoid spray-on waxes. Unplug the Model One BT radio prior to cleaning. The face may be cleaned with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Painting or staining the wood cabinet will void your warranty.

The variations in color and grain are characteristics of real wood and give the cabinet its natural beauty. As a result, the cabinet’s finish may not match other Tivoli Audio products.

Note : Tivoli audio cabinets use real wood veneers. Since natural wood varies greatly, it is not possible to achieve an exact wood color/grain match between models. you may also notice the wood darken over time with exposure to sunlight. again, this is normal for real wood.
