Note:

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

Playing a previously-paired Bluetooth source device
If your Bluetooth device already paired with the radio previously, the unit will memorize your Bluetooth device and it attempts to reconnect with a device in memory which is last connected. If the last connected device is not available, the radio will be discoverable.

Disconnecting your Bluetooth device
Press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button for 2-3 seconds until “BT PAIR” is shown on the display or turn off Bluetooth on your Bluetooth device to disable the connection.
You can also press the Band button to select any mode other than Bluetooth mode to disable the connection.

Deleting Bluetooth paired device memory
To clear the memory of all paired devices, press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button more than 5 seconds until “CLEARING” shows on the display.

AUXILIARY INPUT SOCKET

A 3.5mm Auxiliary input socket is provided at the front of your radio to permit an audio signal to be fed into the unit from an external audio device such as a MP3 or CD player.

1. Connect an external audio source (for example, MP3 or CD player) to the AUX IN socket.
2. Press the Power button to switch on your radio.
3. Repeatedly press and release the Band button until “AUX IN” is displayed.
4. To have the better sound quality, we recommend setting the volume to more than two-thirds level on your audio device and then adjust the volume on the radio as required.

Note: Audio cord is not included as standard accessories.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
• Do not wash the radio with water.
