The JBL Tuner 2 is a portable radio designed for versatile listening, offering both digital (DAB) and analog (FM) radio reception, along with Bluetooth connectivity for streaming audio from external devices. Its robust design includes waterproof capabilities, making it suitable for various environments, both indoors and outdoors.

Function Description:

The primary function of the JBL Tuner 2 is to provide high-quality radio listening through DAB and FM bands. DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) offers a wider selection of stations and clearer sound quality in areas where it is available, while FM provides access to traditional analog radio broadcasts. The device also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, allowing users to wirelessly connect their smartphones, tablets, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices to stream music, podcasts, or other audio content. This dual functionality makes it a comprehensive audio solution for those who enjoy both radio and personal music libraries.

Usage Features:

• Power and Basic Controls: The device features a clear power on/off button, making it easy to activate or deactivate. Volume control is straightforward with dedicated plus and minus buttons.
• Radio Tuning and Scanning: For radio listening, the JBL Tuner 2 offers intuitive tuning. Users can manually tune up or down frequencies. A key feature is the auto-scan function, which automatically searches for and tunes into available radio stations. In FM mode, it will find and tune to the next available station. In DAB mode, it performs a comprehensive scan of all available DAB radio stations and then plays the first one it finds. This is particularly useful for initial setup or when moving to a new location. When DAB mode is activated for the first time, a full scan is automatically initiated, ensuring all local digital stations are discovered.
• DAB/FM Selection: A dedicated button allows for easy switching between DAB and FM modes, providing flexibility based on signal availability and user preference.
• Radio Presets: The Tuner 2 includes a radio preset function, enabling users to save their favorite radio stations for quick access. Up to 5 preset radio stations can be stored. To save a preset, users typically tune to the desired station and then press and hold one of the preset buttons for a few seconds. To recall a preset, a short press on the corresponding button is sufficient.
• Bluetooth Connectivity: For wireless audio streaming, the device incorporates Bluetooth. To connect, users typically press the Bluetooth button on the device to put it into pairing mode. Then, they can select "JBL Tuner 2" from the Bluetooth settings on their smartphone or other device. Once connected, audio from the external device will play through the Tuner 2. The device indicates its Bluetooth status, showing "Connected" on its display when a successful connection is established.
• Language Setting: The JBL Tuner 2 allows users to set their preferred language for the device's interface. This is particularly useful for initial setup or after a factory reset. The process involves a combination of button presses, typically involving the power button, tune buttons, and the scan button, to navigate through language options and confirm the selection. For instance, setting the default language for the first time or after a factory reset might involve pressing the Bluetooth button and the '1' preset button for more than 10 seconds.
• Charging: The device is powered by a built-in battery and can be charged via a USB connection. A USB cable is included in the box for this purpose. It's important to note that while charging, some radio stations may experience noise interference, suggesting that for optimal radio listening, it might be best to listen when the device is not actively charging.
• Portability: Its compact design and wireless capabilities make it highly portable, allowing users to enjoy their audio content wherever they go.

Maintenance Features:

• Waterproof Design (IPX7): A significant maintenance and durability feature of the JBL Tuner 2 is its IPX7 waterproof rating. This means the device can be submerged in water up to 1 meter (3 feet) deep for up to 30 minutes. This makes it ideal for use by the pool, at the beach, or in the shower, without fear of water damage. While it can withstand submersion, it's generally recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme depths to ensure its longevity. This feature also simplifies cleaning, as the device can be rinsed off if it gets dirty.
• Battery Life: The device is designed for extended use on a single charge, offering up to 12 hours of radio listening. This long battery life reduces the frequency of charging, contributing to user convenience. The actual battery life can vary depending on the volume level and the type of audio content being played.
• Durable Construction: While not explicitly detailed in the provided images, JBL products are generally known for their robust build quality, which implies a certain level of resistance to everyday wear and tear, contributing to the device's overall longevity and reduced need for frequent maintenance.

In summary, the JBL Tuner 2 is a versatile and durable portable radio that combines traditional radio listening with modern Bluetooth streaming, all within a waterproof design, making it a reliable audio companion for various activities and environments.
