Battery operation

1. Remove the battery cover located on the rear of the unit by pushing the battery cover in and downwards in the direction shown by the arrow.

2. Insert six LR20 (D size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.

3. Reduced power, distortion and a stuttering sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.

4. The alarm clock function may be used when the radio is powered from batteries (see page 19).

5. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.

Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells can be used in the radio but must be charged outside the radio using an external charger. Note that readily available D size NiMH cells have a capacity which is only a small fraction of that of D size Alkaline cells and so they will power the radio for only a few hours before needing recharging. or brands in the radio.

whenever possible with battery operation for occasional use only. IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as

taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account should batteries be disposed of by incineration. Caution: Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.

Using the buttons Most operations on the radio are performed by a simple short press of a button. A few operations require a longer press of a button. In this case the instructions will tell you to apply a long press, and the button should be held down for 2 or 3 seconds, until the radio has responded. An example of this is applying a long press to the Preset button to set a preset see page 14. When navigating the menus it is generally possible to go back by pressing the Menu button.

4. Using the Bluetooth settings on your phone, tablet or PC direct it to search for 'discoverable' devices. After a few seconds, you should see a device named 'Blutune 5' or 'Blutune 6'. Just occasionally it may take longer for the radio to be found by your device.

5. Select 'Blutune 5' or 'Blutune 6' to cause your phone, tablet or PC to pair with your radio and to establish a connection.

6. Once the connection is established the Bluetooth indicator will remain steady. You can now begin playing music from your smart-phone, tablet, etc. Some Bluetooth devices may require a 'Passkey' (an authentication key) in order to establish a link between devices. A passkey is similar to a password, although you only need to use the passkey once to establish a link. If your device asks for a passkey to be able to pair with your radio then enter a code of 0000 (four zeroes).

Bluetooth information

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.

A Bluetooth connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of approximately ten metres. When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices, for convenience, we recommend they should be no more than 2 to 3 metres apart.The presence of other functioning Bluetooth devices during

which allows your radio to control music playback from the connected device.

Note: Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your radio when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute their Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or for other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your radio.
