Installing or removing the slide battery cartridge (Fig. 3 and 4)

To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click.
If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Install it fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while pressing the button on the front of the cartridge.
Note: When the speaker is on a low battery, the middle LED will flash in red.

Indicating the remaining battery capacity

Only for battery cartridges with “B” at the end of the model number

1. Indicator lamps 2. Check button
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light up for few seconds.

NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the actual capacity.

Using Supplied AC power adaptor

Remove the rubber protector and insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket on the right side of the speaker. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor is used, the battery pack is automatically disconnected. The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the main supply when not in use.

IMPORTANT:
The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the speaker to the mains supply. The main socket used for the speaker must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the speaker from the mains completely, the mains adaptor should be removed from the mains outlet completely.

USB power supply socket

This jack can be used to charge a mobile phone or any other device that uses less than 2.1A of DC current. Charging will only occur when the speaker is switched on.
Note: Ensure the specification of your external devices such as a mobile phone, mp3 player or iPod is compatible with the speaker. Please read the instruction manual of your external device before charging.

IMPORTANT:

Before connecting a USB device to the charger, always backup your data of the USB device. Otherwise, your data may lose by any possibility.
The charger may not supply power to some USB devices. When not using or after charging, remove the USB cable and close the cover. Do not connect the power source to the USB port. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire. The USB port is only intended for charging lower voltage devices.
Always place the cover onto the USB port when not charging the lower voltage device. Do not insert a nail, wire, etc. into the USB power supply port. Otherwise a circuit short may cause smoke and fire.
Do not connect this USB socket with your PC USB port, as it is highly possible that it may cause the breakdown of the units.

Pairing and connecting a device to the speaker

You need to pair your Bluetooth device with the speaker before you can auto- link to play/stream Bluetooth music through the speaker. Pairing creates a `bond’ so two devices can recognize each other. To have a better sound quality, we recommend setting the volume to more than two-thirds level on your Bluetooth device and then adjusting the volume on the speaker as required.

Pairing and playing your Bluetooth device for the first time

Press the Power button to turn on the speaker and the Bluetooth indicator will flash in blue. The indicator flashes fast flashing blue indicating the speaker is discoverable.
Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device’s user manual to link to the speaker. Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device named ‘DMR200.’ With some mobiles (which are equipped with earlier versions than the BT2.1 Bluetooth device), you may need to input the passcode “0000”.
Once connected, there will be a beep sound and the Bluetooth indicator 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 speaker.
Use the controls on your Bluetooth-enabled device or on the speaker to play/pause and navigate tracks.

Note:

If 2 Bluetooth devices, pair for the first time, both search for the speaker, 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 speaker, then you need to manually reconnect your device again to the speaker.
If ‘DMR200” 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 speaker again following the steps described previously.
The effective operation range between the system and the paired device is approximately 10 meters (30 feet). Any obstacle between the system and the device can reduce the operational range.
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting to the speaker. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices.

Playing audio files in Bluetooth mode

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

Once playing has started adjust the volume to the required setting using the Volume buttons on the speaker or on your enabled Bluetooth device. When you press the Volume up/down button, the volume indicator will flash in fast flashing red. If the indicator light in solid red, it indicates the volume is in maximum volume or minimum volume.
Use the controls on your device to play/pause and navigate tracks. Alternatively, control the playback using Play/Pause ( ), Next track ( ) , Previous track buttons ( ) on the speaker.
Press and hold the Next track or Previous button to fast-forward/Rewind the current track. Release the button when the desired point in the track is reached.

Note:

That not all player applications or devices may respond to all of these controls.
Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from the speaker 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 behavior is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with the speaker.

Speaker memory and reconnecting a device

The speaker can memorize up to 8 sets of paired device, when the memory exceed this amount, the oldest pairing history will be overwritten. If your Bluetooth device already paired with the speaker previously, the unit will memorize your Bluetooth device and it attempts to reconnect with a device in memory that is last connected. If the last connected device is not available, the speaker will be discoverable.

Disconnecting your Bluetooth device

Press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button for 2-3 seconds to disconnect with your Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth indicator flashes in blue indicating the speaker is discoverable again for pairing.

Playing music via auxiliary input socket

A 3.5mm Auxiliary input socket is provided on the right side of the unit to permit an audio signal to be fed into the unit from any device that features a headphone or audio output, such as an iPod, MP3 or CD player.

Connect a stereo or mono audio source (for example, iPod, MP3, or CD player) to the Auxiliary input socket (marked ‘AUX’) and the Aux-in indicator turns green indicating the speaker is in auxiliary input mode.
Adjust the Volume control on your iPod, MP3, or CD volume on the speaker for comfortable listening.
To have better sound quality, we recommend setting the volume to more than two-thirds level on your audio device and then adjusting the volume on the speaker as required.

Note: When the Aux-in socket is connected to an audio device, the Bluetooth function will be disabled to minimize power consumption.
