THANK YOU
Thank you for your purchase of the Klipsch
®
Music Center kmc1!
The kmc1 combines legendary Klipsch technology with
Bluetooth
®
and aptX
™
technology for truly hi-fidelity music playback from
your favorite music device. With a
Bluetooth ® connected phone
you can also conveniently answer, converse and terminate, or
ignore incoming calls, from the kmc1. Its contemporary styling
compliments any décor and you can take it almost anywhere with
both AC and battery-power options.
AC POWER
To operate on AC power first select the one plug adapter (3 total
supplied) that fits your AC outlet and insert into the supplied AC
adapter. Plug other end of the AC adapter into back of the kmc1
marked DC IN, then plug AC adaptor into a functioning wall socket.
On AC power, if no streaming or connected audio is detected for
one hour the kmc1 will automatically go into READY mode.
BATTERY POWER
The kmc1 has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery capable
of up to 16 hours of playing time. ALLOW 8 HOURS OF INITIAL
CHARGE TIME BEFORE FIRST TIME BATTERY USE. Charging occurs
when kmc1 is plugged into active AC outlet. If charging while kmc1
is off, VOLUME/BATTERY level indicator shows charging progress
and indicator turns off when charging complete. Pushing UTILITY
button down with kmc1 on (other than during a
Bluetooth -connected
phone call) will show current battery strength. The kmc1 operates
on battery power unless AC power is utilized. On battery power, if no
streaming or connected audio is detected for five minutes, the kmc1
will automatically go into READY mode. To put the unit back into
ON mode simply press the ON / READY button on top. Turn off rear
power switch to conserve battery.
USB CHARGING
NOTE: The USB jack is only for CHARGING most music players,
phones, and tablets. Using the USB connection end of the charging
cable for your device (not included), connect to the USB input on
rear of the kmc1 to charge your device. You can charge your device
using either AC or battery power for the kmc1.
NOTE: Using the USB input to charge your device while the kmc1 is
on battery power will reduce battery life. If the battery in the kmc1
is too weak, the USB connection will not charge your device.
