Diagram and Parts Description
1.
Microphone Input with Volume Control (1/4"):
This mono
input accepts a 1/4" input such as a microphone, guitar, or
other musical instrument.
2.
Auxiliary input:
This stereo 3.5mm (1/8”) input can be used
to connect a CD player, MP3 player, or other audio source.
3.
Bluetooth:
The
Paired
LED will be lit when a device is paired
to EXPLORER BLUETOOTH. This LED will not be lit when
EXPLORER BLUETOOTH is first powered on (unless it was
previously paired with a device). Press the
Disconnect
button
to disconnect a paired Bluetooth device.
4.
Master Volume Control:
This adjusts the speaker’s main mix
volume, which includes the Microphone Input, Auxiliary Input,
Tuner, and the audio of a paired Bluetooth device.
5.
AM/FM Presets:
Store a favorite radio station and quickly tune to
a preset radio station. There are 6 numeric positions for AM
stations and 6 numeric positions for FM stations. To add a
preset:
A.
Select either the AM or FM band and then use the Tuner
buttons to select the desired radio station.
B.
Press and hold a numeric preset button to assign the
current station to that preset number. To use an added
preset, tap a preset number once lightly to go to the stored
radio station.
6.
Radio Selector:
This switch sets the tuner to AM or FM or turns
the tuner off.
(
Note:
This switch does not turn the unit's power off
– just the tuner.)
7.
LCD:
Displays the current radio station.
8.
Tuner:
Use these buttons to search for a radio station. To "seek"
(jump to the next available station), hold this down for a few
seconds until it starts to seek a station. The
unit will remember
the last station you were on and start at that station when you
power off and power on again.
9.
Power LED:
Indicates whether EXPLORER BLUETOOTH is on or off.
10.
USB Charge:
Connect your device’s charge cable here to charge it. USB
charging only functions when the unit’s power is turned on.
Note
: To charge your smartphones and tablets faster, put your device’s screen
to sleep.
11.
Device Cradle:
Place your iPad/iPod touch/iPhone, Android or other device
here to be held. These can be connected via Bluetooth or to the aux input using
the included 3.5mm (1/8”) to 3.5mm (1/8”) cable.
Note:
It is recommended to remove your iPad or other device from the cradle
before transporting or traveling with EXPLORER.
12.
Antenna:
Adjust this FM antenna to get the best radio reception.
Note:
To prevent accidental damage, we recommend rotating the antenna only
when it is positioned horizontally. Also, retract the antenna when the Tuner is
not in use.
Note:
When using AM radio if you have a Bluetooth device that is
paired, this will cause poor AM reception. Unpair your Bluetooth device in order
to listen to AM radio.
13.
NFC:
Tap your NFC (near-field communication) supported and enabled device
here to pair your phone by gently bumping on the ‘N’ logo. See the section
Pairing with a Device using NFC
for more information.
14.
Power Cable Input (IEC):
Insert the included power cable here to charge the unit. Note that the EXPLORER
BLUETOOTH can run off the power adapter while it simultaneously charges the battery. The charge indicator illuminates
when the battery is charging.
15.
Voltage Selector*:
If your unit has a voltage selector switch, change its setting only when necessary (e.g., when
traveling to a country or region with a different voltage), and replace the fuse with one with an appropriate rating (printed
under the unit’s power cable input, next to the desired voltage). Selecting an improper voltage setting or using a fuse
with an incorrect rating can damage the unit and/or fuse. If the voltage selector is covered, only remove *one* screw of
the cover and slide it aside to expose the selector.
16.
Fuse Cover:
If the unit’s fuse is broken or if you are changing the setting of the voltage selector switch, use a
screwdriver or other tool to lift this tab to replace the fuse. Replace it with a fuse with an appropriate rating (printed under
the unit’s power cable input, next to the desired voltage). Using a fuse with an incorrect rating can damage the unit
and/or fuse.
17.
Power ON/OFF Switch:
Turns EXPLORER BLUETOOTH on or off. Please note that while EXPLORER BLUETOOTH is
connected to a power source, it does not need to be powered on to charge the battery.
18.
Battery Level Indicator:
While the unit is powered ON and unit is not plugged in, these four lights indicate the power left
in the battery. Battery life varies based on volume and usage.
19.
Charging LED:
This illuminates when the unit is attached to wall power and is in the process of charging.
*WARNING:
If your unit has a voltage selector
switch, change its setting only when necessary
(e.g., when traveling to a country or region with a
different voltage), and replace the fuse with one
with an appropriate rating (printed under the unit’s
power cable input, next to the desired voltage).
Selecting an improper voltage setting or using a
fuse with an incorrect rating can damage the unit
and/or fuse. If the voltage selector is covered,
only remove *one* screw of the cover and slide it
aside to expose the selector.
