Function Description
The B0117-00601BK is primarily a sound system capable of playing audio from multiple sources, including Bluetooth-enabled devices, USB drives, and auxiliary input.

Usage Features
Powering On and Off:
To power on the B0117-00601BK, simply plug the male cigarette lighter adapter into a female cigarette lighter receptacle. The system will automatically enter pairing mode or reconnect to the last paired device.
Bluetooth Operation:
The core functionality of the B0117-00601BK revolves around its Bluetooth connectivity.
- Pairing: When powered on, the system automatically enters pairing mode. For Android users, navigate to the device's Settings Menu, then Bluetooth Menu, turn on Bluetooth, and scan for "KEMIMOTO-UTV." For iOS users, follow a similar path: Settings Menu, Bluetooth Menu, turn on Bluetooth, and select "KEMIMOTO-UTV." If prompted, the passcode is "0000." A 2-minute window is provided for pairing before the procedure needs to be restarted. If "KEMIMOTO-UTV" is not visible, repeat the steps to refresh the device list. Once connected, music can be streamed from your preferred media player.
- Reconnection: The system is designed for automatic reconnection. If the B0117-00601BK and a previously paired Bluetooth device are powered on, they will automatically reconnect. If the device was previously paired but not the last one, ensure no other devices are currently paired, then enter the Bluetooth Menu on your device, and select "KEMIMOTO-UTV" from the available devices. If the device goes out of range, it will disconnect automatically but will reconnect once back in range.
Streaming Music (Bluetooth Mode):
Once connected via Bluetooth, music playback is straightforward.
- Play/Pause: Press the PLAY/PAUSE button on the control panel or use the PLAY button on your device's touchscreen to start or pause music.
- Track Navigation: Use the NEXT TRACK button to skip songs or advance to the next track. To select the previous song, press the PREVIOUS TRACK button.
- Volume Control: The system offers both physical and device-based volume control. Press the VOLUME UP button to increase the volume or use your device's controls. Similarly, press the VOLUME DOWN button to decrease the volume or use your device's controls. For optimal audio performance, it is recommended to set your Bluetooth device's volume to a minimum of 75% before stowing it.
The B0117-00601BK also supports auxiliary input for non-Bluetooth devices.
- Activation: After powering on the system, press the mode button to switch to AUX mode.
- Connection: Connect the integrated 3.5mm AUX-IN cable to your device's headphone jack.
- Routing: Route the wire back to the B0117-00601BK and secure your device.
- Volume Control: Volume adjustments in AUX mode are similar to Bluetooth mode, using the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons on the control panel or your device's controls. Again, for maximum audio performance, ensure your device's headphone volume is set to a minimum of 75% before stowing.
For playing music from a USB drive, the system offers dedicated functionality.
- Activation: Power on the system and press the mode button to switch to USB mode.

- Functions: The remote control duplicates many of the functions available on the control panel, including power, mode selection (BT, USB, AUX), play/pause, track navigation, and volume control.
- EQ Button: The EQ button on the remote control is specifically designed for use in USB and Bluetooth modes to adjust equalization settings.
Installation:

Maintenance Features
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- Unit will not turn on: Check/replace the fuse, ensure the main ACC switch is engaged (turned to the ON position).
