the instruction manual of your smartphone).
“Teufel BAMSTER PRO” should also appear
in the list of detected devices following the

of detected devices.
If your external player requires the entry of a
PIN code, enter the PIN code “0000” set by

Restoring the connection with a paired
external player
If your BAMSTER PRO was previously connect-
ed to the external player, it is no longer nec-
essary to switch it to pairing mode to connect
again. Simply selecting it from the list of paired
devices is enough.

15• BAMSTER PRO
NFC
With NFC, you can quickly and comforta-
bly establish a Bluetooth connection be-
tween a compatible external player and the
BAMSTER PRO.
1. Make sure that the NFC function on your
external player has been switched on.
2. Hold your external player close to the
button ④ of the BAMSTER PRO.
A Bluetooth connection will be established
between the two devices after a short time.
Notice: You may be asked to allow the
NFC connection. In this case, confirm the
request on your external player.
Interruption of connection
The Bluetooth connection will be cut if you are
outside of the range of your external player
with your BAMSTER PRO. The connection will
be re-established automatically when you are
back within range.

wish or are not allowed to use the Bluetooth
function.
Please note:
• With some smartphones, Bluetooth®must
be switched off for transmission via AUX.
• A connection via AUX takes precedence over
Bluetooth®.
• The control buttons “ ”, “ ”, “ ” do not
work with this connection.
• Due to differing output levels from source
devices, the volume may be lower when
using AUX as opposed to Bluetooth®.
• To avoid any possible interference while
using the Line-in / AUX from the comptuer,
use the supplied docking pad or a USB
power supply (not included) to power the
BAMSTER PRO.

Protecting the Environment
Old devices must not be dis-
posed of with household waste!
If the device is no longer operational,
every consumer is required by law to
dispose of old devices separately from house-
hold waste, e.g. at a collection point run by the
communal authority/borough. This ensures
that old devices are recycled in a professional
manner and also rules out negative conse-
quences for the environment.
For this reason, electrical equipment is
marked with the following symbol.
Batteries and rechargeable
batteries do not belong in the
household waste!
Every consumer is required by law to bring all
batteries and rechargeable batteries, regard-
less whether they contain harmful substanc-
es*) or not, to a collection point run by the
communal authority or borough or to a retailer,
so that they can be disposed of in an environ-
mentally friendly manner.
Please only turn in batteries and rechargeable
batteries which are empty!
