WARNING: Audio Out jack not intended for headphone use. Like a real synthesizer, the Blipblox
produces dynamic sounds that can suddenly change volume. Because of this, using the Blipblox with
headphones is not recommended. The mono Audio Out jack is designed to be used with professional
recording equipment or an external speaker.
Getting the Blipblox ready to play
1. Peel the protective plastic film from the faceplate.
2. Install batteries. The battery compartment is on the underside of the Blipblox. Use a Phillips screwdriver
to open the battery cover. Place batteries in the order indicated. Note: The Blipblox checks the status of
the batteries every time it is powered on. If the top left LED flashes yellow your batteries are running low.
Replace them soon. If the top left LED flashes red, your batteries are too low for the Blipblox to function.
Replace them, or switch to USB-DC adapter (see Step 3).
