Listening to music via Bluetooth streaming
You need to pair your Bluetooth device with your radio before you can auto- link to play streamed Bluetooth music through your radio. Pairing creates a “bond” so two devices can recognize each other.

Pairing and playing your Bluetooth device for the first time

1. With your radio switched on, press the Mode / Step button to select the Bluetooth function. The Bluetooth LED indicator on the radio will flash a fast blue to show the radio is discoverable.
2. Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device’s user manual to link to the radio. Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device named “PR-D4BT” (With some Smartphones that are equipped with earlier versions than BT 2.1 Bluetooth device, you may need to input the passcode “0000”).
3. Once connected, there will be a confirmation tone sound and the Bluetooth LED indicator will turn a solid blue. You can simply select and play any music from your source device. The volume control can be adjusted from your source device, or directly from the radio.
4. Use the controls on your Bluetooth-enabled device or on the radio to play/pause and navigate tracks.

NOTE:

• If 2 Bluetooth devices are pairing for the first time, both must search for your radio, 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 you take your source device out of range, the connection will be temporarily disconnected to your radio. Your radio will automatically reconnect if the source device is brought back in range. Be aware that during the period of disconnection, no other Bluetooth device can pair or link with your radio.

• If “PR-D4BT” 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 radio 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 your radio. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices.
  

• With some mobile phones, making/receiving calls, text messages, e-mails, or any other activities unrelated to audio streaming may mute the Bluetooth audio streaming or even temporarily disconnect from your device. Such behavior is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your radio.

Playing audio files in Bluetooth mode
When you have successfully connected your radio with the chosen Bluetooth source device you can start to play your music using the controls on your connected Bluetooth device.

1. Once playing has started, adjust the volume to the required setting using the Volume control on your radio or on your enabled Bluetooth source device.
2. Use the controls on your Bluetooth source device to play/pause and navigate tracks.
