This document provides comprehensive instructions for the safe and effective use of your new device, a portable radio with Bluetooth capabilities. It is crucial to read these operating instructions thoroughly before initial use and to retain them for future reference. Should you pass the device on to another party, ensure these instructions are also provided.

Function Description

The device primarily functions as a radio, capable of receiving FM stations. It also offers sound playback from external devices via an AUX IN connection and supports Bluetooth operation for wireless audio streaming. The radio features a built-in battery for portable use, which charges automatically when connected to a power source.

Usage Features

Initial Setup and Power:

Before connecting the device to a power supply, allow it to reach room temperature if it has been moved from a cold to a warm environment, to prevent condensation damage. To power the device, insert one end of the power cable into the "DC IN" jack on the device and the other end into a 100-240V-50HZ wall outlet. The built-in battery will begin charging automatically, indicated by a flashing battery icon. Once fully charged, the icon will turn off. If the power cable is disconnected, the device will automatically run on its built-in battery. A flashing battery icon indicates a low battery.
