Tempo Go

MP3:

To operate an MP3 audio source, connect the desired input device to the provided 1/8 inch mini (male) auxiliary cable, and

then to the Control Unit’s I/O panel. Adjust the volume using the Tempo Remote or Volume switch. The quality of your listening
experience is directly influenced by the quality of your audio content from your MP3 device. Therefore, to minimize variations or
distortion of audio content, it is recommended to only use the highest quality licensed content obtained from reputable, licensed
download providers.

USB Ports:

To connect a USB flash drive or Tempo Remote to the unit, use one of the four provided USB ports on the Control Unit’s

IO connection panel.

You can use these ports to connect the following:

• USB flash drive containing the exported Tempo practice script

• Tempo Remote (See page 24 of this manual for more information.)
