CRANK IT UP **volume+ and volume- symbols Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to set the playback level of the Blaster. If the sound is distorted, decrease the volume setting on your music device first, then set the volume level of the Blaster. A low battery can also cause the sound to become distorted, so it is important to keep a healthy charge. NOTE: Because the volume control buttons of the BLASTER do not control the volume output of your music device, you must properly adjust the volume settings of each device independently. SWITCH IT UP ** Multi Button, Previous and Next symbols You can control many functions of your music device directly from the BLASTER when connected via Bluetooth. **Multi Button PLAY/PAUSE **Previous PREVIOUS TRACK **Next NEXT TRACK **Previous + HOLD REWIND **Next + HOLD FAST-FORWARD NOTE: When you first power ON the Blaster and reconnect to your music device, simply pressing the Multi Button will begin music playback from where you last stopped.

USEFUL TIPS • You can extend the battery life of the Blaster by listening at lower volumes. • You can also see the battery in the Status Bar of Apple iOS devices when connected via Bluetooth. • You can avoid sound dropouts by keeping the battery charged and staying within a reasonable wireless range. • The Battery Check function is most accurate when music playback is stopped. • Be careful when cleaning the Blaster. Wipe down dirty surfaces with a lightly damp cloth then let dry. Do not use chemical cleaners or run under water. • Clean dust, debris, and sand form the Blaster with a light brush or with a can of compressed air. Do not blow air directly into the speaker grill as this may cause damage to the speaker drivers inside.

FCC COMPLIANCE AND ADVISORY STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or locate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions : (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. IC STATEMENT:::: This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inf érieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonn ée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autoris é e aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
