2. You can also charge your device at the same time as you are using it to play audio. This means that you can play music without running your battery flat.

Maintenance and Cleaning and General Use

1.  From time to time, check all the power cables are in good condition and avoid using them if you see any damage. Be safe!
2. The body of the Robin can be kept clean simply by using a cloth that is slightly damp, do not use a “wet” cloth. The body is painted so it doesn’t need any wax polish, just a simple wipe will do. The same applies to the clock lens, a simple wipe with a damp cloth is suffi cient. Do not use any abrasive cleaning pads or you will scratch it.
3.  Position the Robin out of direct sunlight so that it does not discolor the finish or the clock dial or get too hot.
4.  Do not let it get wet and keep it dry and not in a humid room, such as the bathroom. Don’t use it outside.
5. Do not place it near a cooker in the kitchen or anywhere it may become hot.
6. Do not play the Robin at full volume for prolonged periods of time, it’s not designed to be a party speaker and you may damage the electronics.

3. If the snooze is not working, check that the alarm is on.

The Bluetooth Pairing

2. Make sure no other nearby device is connected which may stop your connection.
3.  Make sure that you press the Blue Pairing button on top for 2-3 seconds so that it is fl ashing and then search in your phone’s Bluetooth settings for “Oliver Hemming Robin Speaker Clock” in the available devices section, and connect to it.
4.  If it still won’t connect, switch your Bluetooth on and off on your phone and try again. Remember that pairing can only happen when the blue light is fl ashing.
5. No passwords are required so it should be a simple click and connect process.
6. Try all the above with another phone or Bluetooth device. Yours may be broken!

The Robin will auto-connect to the same device it was connected to before, so you don’t need to keep reconnecting as long as you are within 6-10 feet or 2-3 meters.

The Speaker and Audio

You can control the audio sound from both the Robin and your phone, the control levels of both will affect the quality and performance.
If you have no sound at all, then try the following:

1. Check that the set-top Bluetooth light should is on, which means it’s connected.
2. Turn up the volume on the top of the Robin using the + control until it beeps.
3.  Turn up the volume on your phone to maximum.
4. Check you have a Bluetooth connection to the “Oliver Hemming Robin Speaker Clock” on your phone.
5. Try pressing the Play / Pause button, on both the Robin and your phone, you may be in pause mode.

If the quality of the audio sounds poor or muffl ed. Then it’s likely the input signal is not strong enough. Turn up the volume of your phone to about 70% of its maximum and then adjust the volume on the Robin so that the sound is as you want it. If the volume on the phone is not loud enough then the Robin amplifi er cannot clearly reproduce the music.

The USB sockets

The 2 USB points are for charging only, they are NOT audio inputs. Their output is 5V/2amp and they can charge a smartphone or a tablet like an Ipad.
