Quick Start guide

2. Connect the AC adapter or insert 4× AA batteries as shown.
3. Press the on button to turn on the music player.

When you turn on the music player for the first time, it is in digital radio (DAB+) mode. The music player will start searching which radio stations are available to you locally, which may take a while. You can then use the buttons to navigate through the list. To select a radio station, press enter.

If you want to listen to a personal playlist or audiobook from your USB drive:

1. Open the USB slide by pressing on the top edge and rotating it fully open.
2. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port. This only fits in one direction. Then close the USB slide.
3. Press the music button to start playing your personal playlist or audiobook.
4. Use the buttons to move to the next and previous song. The name of the song or audiobook being played back is displayed on the screen.

Customizing your music player

Setting the control panel to your liking
A unique feature of the music player is that each set of buttons can be hidden, for instance if you are not using the buttons or if you are afraid that your loved one might accidentally press a button that causes an unwanted change. You can set up and customize the control panel completely to your liking. There are eight different combinations you can set, three of which are shown below.

The rotary buttons are locked and unlocked using the USB slide. The USB slide has three positions; closed, unlocked and fully open. To adjust the control panel, the USB slide must be in the unlocked position.

To hide the buttons you do not want to use:

1. Press the top edge of the USB slide and turn it halfway open (unlocked position).
2. Turn the buttons you do not want to use by pressing the top edge.
3. Close the USB slide, the buttons you do not want to use are now locked.

Navigating through the menu
You can set the following options through the settings menu. To access the settings menu, the music player must be turned on and the buttons must be visible. Open the settings menu by pressing the enter button for five seconds.
The button can be used to navigate down. The button can be used to navigate up and the enter button to confirm. You can exit the menu at any time by pressing the enter button for five seconds, or by selecting ‘back’ from the main menu screen.

Setting preset stations
To easily switch between your favorite radio stations, you can set them as presets. You can navigate between these radio stations using the buttons.

To set a radio station as a preferred station:

This radio station is now saved as a preset station. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other radio stations you want to set. You can store up to five preset stations. If you want to replace a preferred station, follow steps 4 and 5 again.

Important: Once preset stations are set, you cannot listen to any radio station other than the preset stations. You can undo this by restoring the music player to its factory settings. When only one preset station is set, the buttons are not active in the radio mode.
