What is Bluetooth 

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless 

technology that enables wireless data communication 

between digital devices, such as a computer and digital 

camera. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range 

of about 10 m.

Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some 

devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same 

time.

You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it 

necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case 

with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a 

device in a bag or pocket.

Bluetooth standard is an international standard supported by 

thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by 

various companies worldwide.

compatible Bluetooth profiles of the 

Profile is standardisation of the function for each Bluetooth 

device specification. The system supports the following 

Bluetooth version and profiles:

Communication System:

Bluetooth Specification version 3.0

Compatible Bluetooth Profiles:

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Transmitting 

or receiving audio content of high-quality.

AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile): Controlling 

the volume.

HSP (Headset Profile): Talking on the phone/Operating the 

phone.

HFP (Hands-free Profile): Talking on the phone/Operating 

the phone by hands-free.

Use Bluetooth devices within 10 m (line of sight) of the system.

Maximum communication range may shorten under the 

following conditions.

There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall 

between the system and Bluetooth device.

A wireless LAN device is in use near the system.

A microwave oven is in use near the system.

A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in 

use near the system.

Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) 

use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur 

and resulting in communication speed deterioration, noise, or 

invalid connection if the system is used near a wireless LAN 

device. In such a case, perform the following.

Use the system at least 10 m away from the wireless LAN 

device.

If the system is used within 10 m of a wireless LAN device, 

turn off the wireless LAN device.

Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the 

operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off the system 

and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations, as it 

may cause an accident.

where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, 

airplane, or a gas station

near automatic doors or a fire alarm

  To be able to use the Bluetooth function, the Bluetooth 

device to be connected requires the same profile as the 

system’s. 

Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices may 

vary in function depending on their specifications.

  Due to the characteristic of Bluetooth wireless technology, 

the sound played on the system is slightly delayed from the 

sound played on the Bluetooth device during talking on the 

telephone or listening to the music.

  This system supports security capabilities that comply with 

the Bluetooth standard to provide a secure connection 

when the Bluetooth wireless technology is used, but 

security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be 

careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless 

technology.

  We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of 

information during Bluetooth communication.

  A device featuring the Bluetooth function is required to 

conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth 

SIG, and be authenticated. Even if the connected device 

conforms to the above mentioned Bluetooth standard, 

some devices may not be connected or work correctly, 

depending on the features or specifications of the device.

  Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the Bluetooth 

device connected with the system, the communication 

environment or the usage environment.

the Bluetooth indicator (blue) on the system stays on.

  To use only the calling function of a Bluetooth mobile phone 

that also has a music function, establish Bluetooth 

connection between the system and the mobile phone via 

HFP or HSP, not via A2DP.

  Depending on the Bluetooth mobile phone, while the 

Bluetooth connection is established via HFP or HSP, the 

other Bluetooth connection via A2DP may also be occupied 

by the same Bluetooth mobile phone. A Bluetooth music 

player cannot be connected with this system in this case.

  To make the same connection with the same devices after 

turning the system off, follow this procedure again.

You can enjoy sound effects as desired.

Press the SOUND button to select the sound 

effect.

The SOUND indicator (see below) shows the current sound 

effect setting.

You can switch between effects by repeatedly pressing the 

SOUND button.

Amber High-quality bass sound will be heard (MEGA 

BASS). This setting is enabled by default when 
you first turn on the system.

Green  Surround sound will be heard (MEGA 

BASS+SURROUND).

Off

The sound effect is off.

  The system remembers the last sound effect setting next time it 

is turned on.

level, then press the VOLUME –/+ buttons on the system.

  You cannot play music only by connecting to the system with 

the connecting cord. Make sure to also press the AUDIO IN 

button.

  Hands-free calling is not available while you are listening to 

music from a device connecting to the system by the connected 

cord.

The system automatically turns off after about 20 minutes 

when the hands-free is not being used (the system is not 

connected with a 

Bluetooth device via HFP/HSP), and when 

no device is being charged via the DC OUT ONLY connector, 

and when no music is being played.

You can charge your smartphone by connecting to the DC 

OUT ONLY connector (USB) of the system. When using the 

system by the built-in battery only, you can also charge a 

smartphone from the battery of the system. Turn on the 

USB cable

(not supplied)

  This function is not for data communication by USB cable.

For environment protection, remove the built-in lithium-ion 

battery pack from the system.

Before removing the battery, drain the battery by removing 

the AC adaptor and using the system only with the battery.
