select Bluetooth mode. The display will show “Bluetooth
Pairing” and the Bluetooth icon will blink on the display

Bluetooth device list and select the device named
“WR-201D” (With some Smartphone’s that are
equipped with earlier versions than BT2.1 Bluetooth
device, you may need to input the pass code “0000”).

4. The volume control can be adjusted from your Bluetooth
device, or directly from the radio. Use the controls on
your Bluetooth-enabled device or on the radio to play /
pause and navigate tracks.
NOTE:
●If 2 Bluetooth devices are pairing for the rst time, both
will search for your radio, it will show its availability on
both devices. However, if one device links with this unit
rst, then the other Bluetooth device will not nd it on
the list.
●If you take your source device out of range, the
connection will be temporarily disconnected to your
radio. Your radio will automatically reconnect if the
source device is brought back in range. Be aware that
during the period of disconnection, no other Bluetooth
device can pair or link with your radio.
●If “WR-201D” shows in your Bluetooth device list but
your device cannot connect with it, please delete the
item from your list and pair the device with the radio
again following the steps described previously.
●The effective operation range between the system and
the paired device is approximately 10 meters (30 feet).
Any obstacle between the system and the device can
reduce the operational range.
●Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending
on the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the
Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting
to your radio. All features may not be supported on
some paired Bluetooth devices.
●With some mobile phones, making / receiving
calls, text messages, e-mails or any other activities
unrelated to audio streaming may mute the Bluetooth
audio streaming or even temporarily disconnect
from your device. Such behavior is a function of the
connected device and does not indicate a fault with
your WR-201D.
