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 exceed this amount, the oldest pairing history will be over written.

Pairing your Bluetooth device for the first time

Press the Power button to turn on the radio. Press the Band button to select Bluetooth mode. The Bluetooth indicator on the Preset buttons flashes blue to show the radio is discoverable.
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 named ‘MR004G’ (With some mobiles which are equipped with earlier versions than BT2.1 Bluetooth device, you may need to input the pass code “0000”).
Once connected, there will be a confirmation tone sound and the Bluetooth indicator on the Preset buttons will remain in solid blue. 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.
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 ‘MR004G’ 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.
Optimum Bluetooth streaming range is roughly 10 meters (33 feet) (line of sight) to the radio but distance up to 30 meters (100 feet) are 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.
