Bluetooth mode
The Bluetooth mode on your radio allows you to play audio, play sound from video les and stream music from Bluetooth capable devices such as
your mobile phone, computer, tablet etc. through your radio's loudspeakers.
● When a Bluetooth enabled device such as your Opus Radio is in a 'discoverable' state other Bluetooth devices can detect, pair with or connect
to it.
● 'Bluetooth pairing' occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to establish a connection and communicate with each other.
Connecting Bluetooth devices
1. Ensure that the Bluetooth capability on your phone, tablet or PC is enabled. You
may need to refer to the user documentation for your device, since the method
will vary with each device.
2. Press the On/Off button to switch on your radio. The radio will beep to conrm
that it is now switched on.
3. Pressthe Bluetooth buttonon yourradiotoselectthe Bluetoothmode. Your radio

Bluetooth information
Bluetoothconnectivityperformancemayvarydependingontheconnected
Bluetoothdevices.PleaserefertotheBluetoothcapabilitiesofyourdevice
before connecting to your radio. All features may not be supported on
some paired Bluetooth devices.
A Bluetooth connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of
approximately ten metres. When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices,
for convenience, we recommend they should be no more than 2 to 3
metres apart.The presence of other functioning Bluetooth devices during
connection may lead to operational difculties.
Bluetooth is a short-range radio communication system and generally
Bluetoothdevicescancommunicatewitheachotherclearlywithinaregular
sized room or ofce. The reliability of a Bluetooth connection between
different rooms will greatly depend upon the construction of the building.
Bluetoothcommunicationrange maybesubstantiallyreduced ifthesignal
passes through a solid object. Human bodies, brick and concrete walls,
heavy furniture or bookcases will all reduce the operational range of your
Bluetooth devices to a greater or lesser extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood
paneled walls and ofce partitions may have a less severe but noticeable
effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard, metal window frames and
domesticwiringcanalsohaveaneffect.YoushouldpositionyourBluetooth
devices closer to each other if you observe communication difculties.
WiFinetworksandcordlessphonesgenerallyusesimilarradiofrequencies

noticed, then try relocating the radio or one of the other devices.
TheBluetoothcapabilitiesofyourradioenableittoreceiveaudiofrommany
Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers
and tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your radio
at a time. It supports the following Bluetooth proles and functionality.
● Your radio supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Prole) which
is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music from PCs,
mobile phones etc. SBC and AAC audio codecs are supported.
● Your radio supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Prole)
which allows your radio to control music playback from the connected
device.
Note: Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your radio
whenyoumakeorreceivecalls.Somedevicesmaytemporarilymutetheir
Bluetoothaudiostreaming whentheyreceivetext messages,emailsorfor
other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function
of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your radio.

Title, Artist and Album details, please see page 11.
Note: If the unit is in the Bluetooth mode and it is not connected to a
Bluetooth device for more than 15 minutes it will automatically switch to
the standby mode. If powered from batteries the radio will then switch
off completely. To use the radio again, simply press the On/Off button to

Using USB memory devices
Thissectiondescribeshowtouseyourradiotoaccessandplaybackyouraudio
les via USB memory devices. USB memory devices plug into the rectangular
slot on the top of the radio.
The Opus radio has been tested with a range of USB memory devices of up to
128GB capacity. USB memory must use the FAT or FAT 32 ling system in order
to operate with your radio. Your radio is unable to play from media formatted
usingthe exFATorNTFSformats.Yourradio isonlydesignedtowork withUSB
ash memory devices. It is not intended to be connected to hard disk drives or
any other type of USB device.
It is possible to use SD, SDHC or SDXC cards for media storage and
playback when held in a suitable USB adaptor. However, due to the
wide variation of such adaptors, it is not possible to guarantee that all
adaptor / card combinations will work in the radio.
Audio formats supported are AAC, FLAC, MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis and WAV.
USB playback does not support les encoded using WMA Lossless, WMA
Voice, WMA 10 Professional, nor les of any format which have DRM protection.
Recommendations:
Unless you have only a few les on the USB memory device, do not place
all les in the root folder.
The number of items (les / sub-folders) in any folder should be less than
2000.
Searching and playback will be more responsive if the number of les in
any one folder is limited (we suggest not more than 250).
It is recommended that the USB memory is reformatted in your computer
before adding your music les.
The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8 folder levels.
Cautions:
In order to minimise the risk of damage to your radio or your
USBmemory,pleaseplacetheunitsothatthememorydevice
cannot easily be knocked while it is inserted in the socket.
Remove the USB memory before carrying the unit or if not
using the USB feature for a prolonged period.
Place the unit in Standby mode before removing your USB
memory device.
The USB connection is intended only for ash memory devices.
The use of hard disk storage media is not supported.
Playback via USB of les stored on MP3 players is not
guaranteed.
