Battery operation

1. Remove the battery cover on the base of the unit by sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert six LR14 (C 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. 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.

We would recommend for economy that the Classic Blutune is used via the AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or standby use only.

IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be 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 radio for the first time

1. Place your radio on a flat surface.

2. Carefully fully extend the telescopic aerial located on the rear of your radio.

3. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the rear of your radio. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains socket outlet. The display will show 'WELCOME' for a few seconds.

4. If this is the first time that the radio has been used a scan of the Band III

DAB channels will be carried out. During the scanning process the display will show the progress of the station search. The number on the right of the display is the number of stations that have been found.

5. When the scan is completed the first station (in numeric-alpha order

0...9, A...Z will be selected. The first station in the list of stations found during scanning will be played. The display will show the station name.

If no signals are found then it may be necessary to relocate your radio to a position giving better reception. You should then carry out a scan to find stations as described on page 10.

• Your radio has an indicator on the display to indicate the strength of the DAB radio signal being received.

6. Adjust the volume as needed using the Volume control.

IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the product to the mains supply. The mains socket and any multi-way mains block used for the product must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the product from the mains, the mains adaptor should be removed from the mains socket completely.

Use only the mains adaptor provided with the product, or a genuine replacement provided by Roberts Radio. The use of alternative adaptors will invalidate the guarantee.

Bluetooth mode

The Bluetooth mode on your radio allows you to play audio, play sound from video files and stream music from Bluetooth capable devices such as your mobile phone, computer, tablet etc. through your radio's loudspeaker.

● When a Bluetooth enabled device such as your Classic Blutune radio is in a 'discoverable' state other Bluetooth devices can detect, pair with or connect to it.

Bluetooth communication range may be substantially reduced if the signal passes through a solid object. Human bodies, brick and concrete walls, heavy furniture or bookcases will all reduce the operational range of your

Bluetooth devices to a greater or lesser extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood paneled walls and office partitions may have a less severe but noticeable effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard, metal window frames and domestic wiring can also have an effect. You should position your Bluetooth devices closer to each other if you observe communication difficulties.

● 'Bluetooth pairing' occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to establish a connection and communicate with each other.

WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies to Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is noticed, then try relocating the radio or one of the other devices.

● Your radio will flash the Bluetooth indicator on the display when it is discoverable or when it is trying to connect to a previously paired Bluetooth device. When a device is paired with and connects to your radio, the Bluetooth indicator light on the display will remain lit.

The Bluetooth capabilities of your radio allow it to receive audio from many

Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers and tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your radio at a time. It supports the following Bluetooth profiles and functionality.

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.

● Your radio supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music from PCs, mobile phones etc. SBC and AAC audio codecs are supported.

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 connection may lead to operational difficulties.

● Your radio supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) which allows your radio to control music playback from the connected device.

Bluetooth is a short-range radio communication system and generally

Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other clearly within a regular sized room or office. The reliability of a Bluetooth connection between different rooms will greatly depend upon the construction of the building.

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.

20

Connecting Bluetooth devices

1. Ensure that the Bluetooth capability on your phone, tablet or PC is enabled. You may need to refer to the user documentation for your device, since the method will vary with each device.


3. Press and release the Mode button on your radio until the Bluetooth mode is selected.

Your radio will show that it is 'discoverable' by flashing the Bluetooth indicator on the display.

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

5. Select 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

on the radio's display will stop flashing and will remain lit. The name of the connected device will be displayed on the radio.

You can now begin playing music from your 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).

Playing audio files in Bluetooth mode

When you have successfully connected your radio with your chosen

Bluetooth device you can start to play your music using the controls on the device.

1. Once playing has started adjust the volume to the required setting using the Volume controls on your radio and on the connected device.

2. Provided that your phone, tablet or PC allows volume control when using Bluetooth you may prefer to set the radio's volume control to a high level. This will allow the audio volume to be controlled using the connected Bluetooth device. This will generally be the more convenient method of controlling the volume.

However, if you are using headphones plugged into your radio, we strongly recommend that the radio's volume control is used as the means of adjusting the audio volume. You will then need to set the volume on the connected Bluetooth device to a higher level. The purpose here is to prevent unexpectedly loud noises in the headphones, when changing modes in the radio or when switching on and off.

3. The audio player in your phone, tablet or PC may be able to respond to the

Play/Pause

, Next track and

Previous

track control on the radio.

To play or pause the audio press and release the Tuning control. To access the next or previous track, rotate the Tuning control clockwise or anti-clockwise as required.

Note: That not all player applications or devices may respond to all of these controls.

4. If your connected device is able to provide information from the track being played, you may press and release the Info button to display the Title, Artist and Album details on the display as well as audio information, time and date. The display will revert to displaying the time approximately 20 seconds after the last button press.

Connecting and disconnecting a Bluetooth device

You can only have one Bluetooth device connected to your radio at any one time although it may be paired with several devices. Once you have a Bluetooth enabled device connected to your radio it cannot be interrupted by another

Bluetooth device unless you choose to break the connection.

1. To connect to a new device or to disconnect from the current device, press and hold the Menu button on the radio.

'PAIRING' will flash on the radio's display

.

Press and release the Tuning control.

2. The radio will disconnect from your device and then will become 'discoverable' by other devices. The

Bluetooth indicator will flash on the screen.

You may then pair your radio with a new device using its Bluetooth settings

(the radio will be listed as 'Classic Blutune' ). Some Bluetooth devices will automatically connect while others may need you to confirm the connection.

When the pairing process is completed, the name of the newly connected device will be shown on the radio's display. You may then play music from the new device through the radio.

3. If you no longer want your Bluetooth device to be paired with your radio you will need to delete the 'Classic Blutune' pairing on the device. Please refer to the Bluetooth documentation for your phone, tablet, PC etc. for details of how to cancel current pairings.

The Bluetooth icon on the display flashes at about one flash per second whenever the radio is in a 'discoverable' condition.

The icon may also flash at a slower rate of once every few seconds. This indicates that the radio has temporarily lost the Bluetooth connection (if the connected device has moved out of range, for example). The radio will attempt to reconnect automatically.

If automatic reconnection fails, then you will generally be able to connect simply by selecting the 'Classic Blutune' pairing in your device's Bluetooth settings.

Headphone socket

A 3.5mm

Headphone Socket located on the rear of your radio is provided for use with either headphones or an earpiece. Inserting a plug automati

cally mutes the internal loudspeaker.

Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely. We therefore recommend setting the volume to a low level before connecting headphones to the radio.

IMPORTANT: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

A 3.5mm Line Out socket located on the rear of your radio is provided for connecting the audio signal to an external amplifier. Inserting an audio cable into this socket will not mute the internal loudspeaker. Set the volume control on the radio to minimum if desired.
