is charged via the USB cable. Charge it for ap-
prox. 3 h before first use.
• To charge the device, connect the USB jack
햵
with the USB jack of the enclosed USB charg-
er. Use the enclosed USB cable to do so.
• You can also charge using the USB jack of your
PC. However, this will significantly increase the
required charging time.
• The red LED 햳provides information on the
recharging status of the battery:
– LED pulses: The rechargeable battery is
being charged.
– LED is continuously illuminated: The
rechargeable battery has been fully
charged.
– LED blinks: The rechargeable battery has a
low charge level.

on and off. If the ROCKSTER XS has been
switched on, the red LED 햳will illuminate.

Tip: You should always turn off your
ROCKSTER XS when it is not in use to save
battery power.
Bluetooth®pairing
You can connect compatible devices, such as
most smartphones, with your ROCKSTER XS
via Bluetooth®(pairing). The audio output of
your smartphone is then played back by the
ROCKSTER XS.
You can connect 2 external players with the
ROCKSTER XS at the same time (see“Simulta-
neous pairing of two external players” on page
15).
1. Activate the Bluetooth function on your exter-
nal player (e.g. smartphone).
2. Push and hold the button 햹for approx. 3
seconds.
The blue LED 햲will now blink in blue until
pairing is complete (no more than 60 sec-
onds).
3. Let your smartphone search for Bluetooth
devices (you can find more information in
the instruction manual of your smartphone).
“Teufel ROCKSTER XS” should also appear
in the list of detected devices following the
scan.
4. Select “Teufel ROCKSTER XS” from the list of
detected devices.
If your external player requires the entry of a
PIN code, enter the PIN code “0000” set by
factory default.
Pairing is now complete and your
ROCKSTER XS is linked to the external player.

13• ROCKSTER XS
The blue LED 햲is now continuously illumi-
nated and your ROCKSTER XS will play back all
sounds that would otherwise be played by your
external player.
To terminate the Bluetooth connection, hold the
button 햹down for approx. 3 seconds.
Restoring the connection with a paired
external player
If your ROCKSTER XS was previously connected
to the external player, it is no longer necessary
to switch it to pairing mode to connect again.
Simply selecting it from the list of paired devic-
es is enough.
NFC
With NFC, you can quickly and comfortably es-
tablish a Bluetooth connection between a com-
patible external player and the ROCKSTER XS.
Notice: Only one external player can be con-
nected via NFC. If you want to connect another
external player, please proceed as described in
the chapter “Simultaneous pairing of two exter-
nal players” on page 15.
1. Make sure that the NFC function on your
external player has been switched on.
햽
2. Hold your external player close to the control
panel of the ROCKSTER XS (NFC contact zone
햽).
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.

14 • ROCKSTER XS
Connection via AUX
As an alternative to Bluetooth®, you can also
connect your ROCKSTER XS to the headphone
jack of the external player via an AUX cable with
3.5 mm jack plugs, for example.
Select the cable connection if you do not 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 Play/Pause button 햸does not work with
this connection.
Other functions
When a call is received
If your ROCKSTER XS is connected with a
compatible smartphone via Bluetooth, music
playback will be muted when a call is received.
You can answer the call with your smartphone
and take the phone call as usual. After you
hang up, music playback will continue at the
previously selected volume.
Automatic deactivation
When the ROCKSTER XS is not in operation and
you do not push any button, the ROCKSTER XS
will switch to energy-saving mode after approx.
20minutes (the red LED 햳will only be slightly
lit).
After another 20 minutes of inactivity and
without user input, the ROCKSTER XS will auto-
matically switch off.
Push the Play/Pause button 햸to wake it up.

15• ROCKSTER XS
Interruption of connection
The Bluetooth connection will be cut if you are
outside of the range of your external player
with your ROCKSTER XS. The connection will be
re-established automatically when you are back
within range.
Simultaneous pairing of two external
players
Two external players can be paired with your
ROCKSTER XS at the same time. The exter-
nal player on which playback was last started
always has precedence.
1. Pair external player 1 with the ROCKSTER XS.
2. Pair external player 2 with the ROCKSTER XS
too.
3. Connect external player 1 again with the
ROCKSTER XS (select it from the list of paired
devices).
The audio output of your external players is then
emitted by the ROCKSTER XS.
If the ROCKSTER XS is connected with 2
external players, the blue LED 햲will pulse.

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 man-
ner and also rules out negative consequences
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, regardless
whether they contain harmful substances*) 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 environmentally
friendly manner.
Please only turn in batteries and rechargeable
batteries which are empty!
