To clear the pairing between the device and the
MASTER. Take care that to pair again,
you will need the password, so before clearing
the pairing, take note of the password.
Warning: some ANDROID’s, after clearing
the pairing, do not clear all of their internal
data and to pair again will requiere resetting
the MASTER to factory default (see chapter 10.3),
which means that all the devices paired will be
deleted and they will have to be paired again.
Tested with:
GOOGLE NEXUS 5 / ANDROID 5.0.1
SAMSUNG GALAXY ALPHA / ANDROID 4.4.4
To disconnect the App from the MASTER close
the App. Be sure that the App is permanently
closed and it is not operating in background.
The way to close the App can be different for
each device, although the process can be similar.
See the device user manual to see how to do it.

a unique KBSOUND STAR Bluetooth ID and password.
The default factory Bluetooth ID for each MASTER is XXXX KBSOUND STAR
where XXXX is a number between 0000 and 9999. The default password for
each MASTER is a 4-digit number between 0000 and 9999 (different from the
KBSOUND STAR Bluetooth ID). This data can be found on the label
of the MASTER and the label provided with the “Quick reference guide”.
When more than one MASTER is installed in the same home/building,
it is convenient to rename the KBSOUND STAR Bluetooth ID making daily
operation more friendly.
The ID must be a name containing only letters and numbers.
Other symbols are not allowed. It is important to use a name which
has a meaning in order to facilitate the identification of each MASTER.
(advice: use names like KITCHEN, LIVING ROOM, BEDROOM, etc.)
Warning: if the Bluetooth ID and/or password have been forgotten,
reset to factory default (see chapter 10.3).

Note for ANDROID: in some ANDROID
models/versions it is possible to personalize
the Bluetooth ID in the ANDROID Bluetooth settings
menu. However the KBSOUND STAR App cannot
update the KBSOUND STAR Bluetooth ID when it
has been personalized in that way. For this reason, if
the KBSOUND STAR Bluetooth ID is changed from
the ANDROID Bluetooth Settings Menu, take care
to use the same name used in the App to avoid
confusion.
Note: When the KBSOUND STAR Bluetooth ID
has been changed, updating the
iOS/ ANDROID Bluetooth Settings Menu of some
models/versions may require you to disconnect
and connect, while other models/versions need
to be un-paired and paired again.
Warning for ANDROID: take care that some
ANDROID models/versions require a factory reset
when un-paired and paired again. Remember that
for un-pairing and pairing again, it is necessary to
know the password.
Many users can be paired. However, only one can be connected. While one
user is connected a second user cannot connect with the same MASTER until
the first user disconnects his device. (See chapters 3.1 for Bluetooth Low Energy
Connection and chapters 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 for Bluetooth Audio Streaming)

10.1 VOLUME
When Bluetooth streaming audio is selected as
the audio channel you may select either the device
volume buttons, the KBSOUND STAR App volume
bar or the volume bar of the selected streaming audio
source (Music Player, Tune In Radio, Spotify, ...).
If the Bluetooth audio streaming source is a
different device (another smartphone, Computer,
Amazon Alexa devices, etc ...) the volume is
controlled from the device connected.
When FM/DAB is selected as the music source
only the App volume bar will manage
the FM/DAB volume.

10.2 NOTIFICATIONS AND PHONE CALLS WHILE OPERATING
When the device receives a phone call while a Bluetooth A2DP
(audio streaming) is connected with the MASTER, the ring tone will be heard
in the smartphone. The phone call will be managed only from the smartphone
and never through the speakers.
When the device receives a notification (email, sms, WhatsApp, ...) while
a Bluetooth device A2DP (audio streaming) is connected with the MASTER,
the smartphone sends this sound to the Bluetooth audio streaming. If Bluetooth
audio streaming is selected in the MASTER as audio source, the notifications
will be heard through the speakers. However if the MASTER is OFF or FM is
selected as audio source, the notification will not be heard through the speakers.
Warning: take note that notifications depend on
iOS/ANDROID Notification Settings Menu and also
may depend on each particular App Settings
(for example Whatsapp Settings).
Note: Take care that the sound level depends
on the device, the track, etc. Different devices
(iOS, ANDROID, Alexa, computers, etc.) perform
in different ways. Is advisable to set the volume
at 60-80% in the Bluetooth device and then
manage the volume by the App volume bar.

The MASTER module has a line output (AUX) where amplifiers can be connected.
It is necessary to use the Auxiliary Amplifier (ref. 13204) to expand the system to a maximum
of 4 amplifiers. AUXILIARY and MASTER can be turned ON jointly or separately using the settings
menu (see chapter 7.6).
The volume of both MASTER and AUXILIARY is controlled
simultaneously through the App volume bar.
If necessary you can regulate the sound output level of the amplifiers
by setting the volume limitation switches at the time of installation.
Warning: Please note that the Bluetooth
device only communicates with the MASTER,
so the range must be measured between the
location of the user and the MASTER. It can
never be related to the location of the speakers
nor the Auxiliary amplifiers.

13.2 AMPLIFIER 14. FAQ’s
14.1 EQUALIZATION AUDIO MODE
14.2 BLUETOOTH NAME AND PASSWORD
14.3 FM/DAB RECEPTION
14.4 RDS INFORMATION RECEPTION
The equalization audio mode is stored in the MASTER. As a result, the equalization
is the last one set by the most recent user.
We have included in the “Quick Reference Guide” a copy of the label on the MASTER
with the KBSOUND STAR Bluetooth ID and password.
This product has been designed and tested to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in residential installation.
Improving the FM/DAB reception: extend the aerial antenna wire and adjust the
angle for best reception. Be sure to locate it as far as possible from any sources
of electrical noise such us halogen or led lamps, HVAC, fluorescent bulbs, etc.
The App is prepared to receive RDS information and show it alongside
the frequency.
However, some FM stations do not send any RDS information. Also, if the FM
reception is poor, although sound can be heard, RDS information may not be well
received. In these cases, no RDS information is shown. To improve it, be sure that
the FM station is sending an FM signal and use an FM antenna.
14.5 RECEIVE A CALL WHEN LISTENING FM/DAB
Take note that the FM/DAB is not paused when the device receives a call.
