Bluetooth Operation

Prior to pairing, verify your device supports Bluetooth 5.0 and that your device is not connected to any other Bluetooth product. Devices may pair differently. Below is a general guide.

1. Change the source to Bluetooth, then press and hold the Scan button. Turn the volume up about ¼ to start. Also turn up the volume on the source device (the device you are streaming from).
2. Turn on the Bluetooth wireless technology on your enabled device.
3. Select “Tivoli Audio PAL+BT ” when it appears on your device’s screen to initiate searching. Some devices may prompt you for a PIN. If so, enter “0000”. “Tivoli Bluetooth” will change from “Not Paired” to “Connected”.
4. Once the radio displays “BT Connected” on its screen, you are paired to the radio and can begin playing your music wirelessly. Adjust the volume level on your device. You should not have to pair your device again.
   Depending on your device, you may need to make multiple attempts at Pairing and/or Connecting to the PAL, but please give your device adequate time to Pair or Connect before repeating the process.

NOTE:

• The PAL+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 PAL+BT, or check to be sure another wireless device is not interfering with the signal.
• When switching from Bluetooth to DAB or FM, you may need to re-adjust (lower) the radio’s volume level.

About The Battery Pack

The PAL+BT uses a sealed pack of Lithium-Ion cells. Use only an authorized Tivoli Audio PAL Series Lithium-Ion battery. The estimated battery life on a full charge is 12 hours.

CHARGING:

To charge the battery, plug the PAL+BT in and place it in Standby. From full discharge, the battery will be completely charged within approximately 3.5 hours. Because the battery is new, it may take 4-5 full charge/ discharge cycles until you experience average playback performance times. During charging, the battery icon on the LCD will flash. The battery icon will stop flashing and all 3 bars will be shown on the LCD once the battery is fully charged. The battery does not charge while the PAL+BT is plugged in and turned on, but the battery icon will still show the status of the battery. In short, with the PAL+BT plugged in, place it in standby whenever you want to charge the battery.

LOW BATTERY

When running solely on the battery, as the battery becomes discharged, the battery icon will drop from 3 bars to 2 bars, to 1 bar, and finally, show an empty battery. The audio will begin to sound distorted when the battery starts to reach a low level. This is normal and is an audible warning the battery should be charged soon. Because the PAL+ Li-Ion battery has no memory, it is not necessary to wait until the battery is exhausted before recharging, although recharging from a discharged battery will not harm the battery.

The battery icon is an approximation of the power/charging status. It may also take several seconds for the icon status to stabilize. If the battery is removed and the PAL+ operates solely from the external adapter, the icon on the LCD will show an empty battery.
Leaving the PAL+BT plugged in, even when not in use, ensures the batteries will be charged when you need them.
If the PAL+BT is not plugged in, the batteries will self-discharge as a safety measure. There is no harm in continuously operating the PAL+BT with the power supply.
Note: It may take up to 4 charge/discharge cycles before the batteries are operating at full capacity when new or left unused for several weeks.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Should you ever need to replace the battery, lift the antenna up and use a Philips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the battery cover in place? Lift the battery cover off and take note of how the lead is connected to the battery pack prior to disconnecting. Replace the pack making sure to re-connect the leads correctly. Replace the battery cover by inserting the bottom lip first, then screw the cover back on.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use an exact- replacement battery pack available through Tivoli Audio or our authorized dealers and dispose of the spent battery pack according to your country’s regulations. The battery pack must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire, or the like. Use of a non-Tivoli Audio battery pack could damage the  AL+BT.
For information about the remote control’s battery refer to Point 14 of the “Guide to Features (Remote Control)”.

Digital Radio/FM Reception

When moving the PAL+BT to another location where there may be different DAB stations from the previous location, it is recommended to run a “Prune” to initiate a new scan to refresh the DAB station list.
FM: In strong signal locations, reducing the antenna’s length may provide better reception.

RDS (FM band only)

The Radio Data System (RDS) transmits text data along with the audio broadcast. Not all FM stations utilize this service, thus text may not be present with some stations. For stations broadcasting RDS, the text still might not appear or might appear scrambled if the signal is too weak. This is not a fault of the PAL+BT. In such cases, experiment with the position of the FM antenna. Note RDS content is determined by each individual FM station.

Handling the PAL+BT

• The PAL+BT is weather-resistant, but it is not weatherproof. It should not be immersed in water or held under running water. It also should not be exposed to extreme temperatures.
• The PAL+BT is designed to be portable, but it is not indestructible. Do not drop it, throw it, or subject it to strong impacts.
• Always grip the PAL+BT using the side indentations to reduce the chance of it slipping out of your hand.

Cleaning

Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your radio. Normal everyday wear and tear or damage resulting from cleaning or chemicals is not covered under the factory warranty. To clean the PAL+BT use a soft cloth and do not rub hard.
