Using Bluetooth

You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth technology lets Bluetooth-compliant devices interconnect easily with each other using a short, wireless connection.

???A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, when:

-A part of your body comes into contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the product.

-It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or by office partitioning.

-It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.

???Keep the Mini-compact system and the Bluetooth device close together when pairing. The greater the distance between the system and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality.

???If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.

???In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.

???The Mini-compact system has an effective reception range of up to 33 feet (10 meters) in all directions if there are no obstacles. The connection will be automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device moves out of this range. Even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.

???This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.

To connect the product to a Bluetooth device

Before you begin, confirm that your Bluetooth device supports the Bluetooth-compliant stereo headset function.

1.Press the USB/BLUETOOTH button on the main unit to display the "BT" message.

???You will see ???WAIT??? for 2 seconds and then ???READY??? on the display.

3.Select the Stereo headset menu on the Bluetooth device.

???You will see a list of scanned devices.

4.Select "[Samsung] MINI XXXXXX " from the searched list.

???When the product is connected to the Bluetooth device, the Product will display "CONNECTED"???"BT" on the front display, followed by the device name of the connected Bluetooth device.

5.Play music on the connected device.

???You can listen to the music playing on the connected

Bluetooth device over the Product.

???In Bluetooth mode, some model's Play/Pause/Repeat/ Stop/Next/Back functions are not available.

???The product only supports Middle Quality SBC data (up to 237kbps@48kHz), and does not support High Quality SBC data (328kbps@44.1kHz).

???Only one Bluetooth device can be paired at a time.

???The Mini-compact system may not search or connect properly in the following cases:

-If there is a strong electrical field around the Mini- compact system.

-If several Bluetooth devices are simultaneously paired with the Mini-compact system.

-If the Bluetooth device is turned off, not in place, or malfunctions

???Note that such devices as microwave ovens, wireless LAN adaptors, fluorescent lights, and gas stoves use the same frequency range as the Bluetooth device, which can cause electric interference.

To disconnect the Bluetooth device from the

Product

You can disconnect the Product from the Bluetooth device. (Refer to Bluetooth device's user's manual.)

???The Product will be disconnected.

???When the Product is disconnected from the Bluetooth device, the Product will display "DISCONNECTED"???"READY" on the front display.

1.Press the USB/BLUETOOTH button on the main unit to display the "BT" message.

???Except when you disconnect by changing functions, the connected Bluetooth device will wait a certain amount of time for a response from the product before terminating the connection. (Disconnection time may differ, depending on the Bluetooth device.)

???The currently connected device will be disconnected.

???In Bluetooth connection mode, the Bluetooth connection will be lost if the distance between the Product and the Bluetooth device exceeds the limit (33 ft./10 meters).

If the distance decreases to the effective range or you restart the Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth connection can be restored.

???If the Bluetooth device comes back into the effective range, you can restart the product to restore the pairing with the Bluetooth device.

???With some Bluetooth devices, some functions may not work properly.

???In Bluetooth mode, the product will turn off automatically if there is no Bluetooth device connected to the product for 25 minutes.
