Bluetooth
The Mondo Elite can work as a Bluetooth speaker. When you power the Mondo Elite on for the
first time the Mondo Elite will automatically be available to connect. If it is not showing up on
your smartphone, go into the Mondo Elite main ‘Radio Settings’ menu, select Bluetooth. If the
menu item
Bluetooth Pairing Mode
is displayed on the radio, then you should see it on your
smart device. Once you select the Mondo Elite in your smart device the radio will now show
the name of the smartphone / tablet that it is paired too.
Now on your smart device simply press play on the music that you want to stream via
Bluetooth and the music will start playing on the Mondo Elite. After your initial set up, the next
time you want to play Bluetooth you will have to select the device from the Mondo Elite menu.
For example, if you are playing Bluetooth music from your smartphone and you then later
press the preset 1 on the Mondo Elite to play your previously saved radio station. To play
Bluetooth music again you will have to select your device from the Mondo Elite Bluetooth
menu. After you select your device you will be shown 3 options:
Play:
If you want to play the music.
Disconnect:
If you want to stop playing music but keep the smartphone device in the
Mondo Elite memory. By doing this, it will release your smartphone from playing music but
if you later press play on the Mondo Elite, assuming your device is still in range, pressing
play on the Mondo Elite will start playing music from your device again.
Unpair:
Will disconnect the Mondo Elite and place the Mondo Elite into pairing mode
to be paired to another phone.
NOTE:
If you unpair your smart device and then want to pair back to the Mondo Elite again, depending on the smart
device you may have to delete the Mondo Elite name out of your device’s Bluetooth list, or turn Bluetooth on and off
on your smart device. Then the Mondo Elite will display again and you can repair, connect, and start playing.
Bluetooth Transmission to a Bluetooth Headphone:
The Mondo Elite can also play music through Bluetooth enabled headphones / earbuds.
1.
Make sure that your Bluetooth device is turned on and ready to pair. (If you are not
familiar with Bluetooth pairing for your Bluetooth headphones, or other Bluetooth
enabled device, refer to its user guide.)
