PLEASE NOTE
The Kurve Wireless Receiver is an audio device featuring Bluetooth®wireless technology that
will play back stereo music wirelessly from a compatible music device (mobile phone,
notebook PC, or MP3 player), through a hi-fi system or speaker system.
The Kurve will only receive audio from a music device that supports Bluetooth Stereo
features. This is also referred to as A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). Please check
that your music device supports this feature. Future references to the term “music device” or
“audio device” in this document will imply a device that supports Bluetooth Stereo features.
To control the playback volume of music being streamed by your music device to the Kurve,
your music device must support the Bluetooth Remote Control feature. This feature is also
referred to as AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile). Your music device should
support the AVRCP Controller role in order to control the playback volume.
If your music device does not support the BluetoothRemote Control feature, you will have to
adjust the playback volume, using the volume control of your hi-fi or speaker system.

are able to communicate with each other within a secured environment. Before the Kurve can
receive streamed audio from your music device (mobile phone, notebook PC or MP3 player),
the Kurve and your music device must first be paired. Before proceeding with the Pairing
process, please refer to the user guide of your music device and familiarize yourself with your
device’s Bluetooth Pairing process.
3.1 To Pair Devices
•Press the button on the top of the Kurve and hold it down for 2 seconds until the
Kurve’s blue light ring starts flashing rapidly. This indicates that the Kurve unit is in
Pairing mode. The Kurve remains in Pairing mode for 60 seconds,
•Within this 60 seconds period, you should use your music device to search for and
pair with the Kurve,
•The Kurve will be identified on your music device as “WiMe Kurve”
•When you are prompted to enter a passcode on your music device, please enter the
code “0000”,
•Once paired, the blue light ring will stop flashing, indicating that the Pairing process
has been completed.

WICHTIGE INFORMATIONEN
Der drahtlose Stereo Empfänger Kurve ist ein Audio Gerät mit Bluetooth®Schnittstelle. Kurve
unterstützt über angeschlossene Lautsprecher oder eine Verbindung zur HiFi Anlage die
Wiedergabe von über Bluetooth®empfangener Musik. Die Musik kann dabei von einem
Mobiltelefon, PC oder MP3 Player an den Kurve Stereo Empfänger gesendet werden.
Kurve empfängt die Musik nur von Geräten, die Bluetooth®für die Musikwiedergabe

Ihr Gerät muss aber das Bluetooth®Remote Control Merkmal unterstützen. Dieses wird auch
als AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) bezeichnet.
Wenn Ihr Gerät nicht AVRCP unterstützt, müssen Sie die Lautstärke direkt am Lautsprecher
bzw. dem HiFi System ändern.
