The USB charger
The USB charger is designed so that you can
also use it in the USA:
• For this purpose, push the plug adapter off
upwards and fold the two contact pins out.
The charger now also fits American sockets.
Once the rechargeable battery has been
fully charged, pull the USB charger out
of the socket and pull the USB plug out of the
USB jack (10). You will save power this way.
To preserve the rechargeable battery, do not
quickly connect and disconnect the charger
and the ROCKSTER XS in succession.
Operation
Activating/deactivating
• Activating: Briefly push the button (2).
The red LED (11) will illuminate.
• Deactivating: Push and hold the button
for approx. 3 seconds.
All LEDs are off.
If the ROCKSTER XS does not receive
a signal for 15 minutes, the device will
switch off. You can switch the ROCKSTER XS
back on with the button (2).
Connection to the external player
Your ROCKSTER XS offers 3 connection options:
®
– via Bluetooth
– via USB as a sound card (priority 2)
– via AUX (priority 3)
If there is a signal present at all 3 connections,
transmission will occur via Bluetooth® (priority
1). If you stop Bluetooth® transmission, playback will occur via USB (priority 2). Only when
you also stop playback on the external USB
player, transmission will occur via AUX (priority
3).

Connection via USB
To operate the ROCKSTER XS as a sound card
on a PC or MAC, connect the micro-USB jack
(10) with a USB port on your computer. Use
the enclosed USB cable to do so. If you would
like to use another USB cable, make sure that
all contacts are completely occupied.
With Windows 7, 8 and 10 as well as Mac OSX
10.5 and higher, no special driver software is
required to operate the ROCKSTER XS. The
operating systems detect the ROCKSTER XS
as speaker “ROCKSTER XS” when establishing
the USB connection.
For the transmission via USB, any
ing Bluetooth® transmission must be
stopped. Otherwise, these connections have
priority over USB.
Windows 7, 8 and 10:
When establishing the USB connection,
Windows automatically detects the
ROCKSTER XS and allocates playback accordingly.

In the “Sound” system preference, you can select the ROCKSTER XS as the playback device
on the “Output” tab. All Mac sounds will now
be played back via the ROCKSTER XS.
If you place a check mark under “Display
volume on the menu bar” on the tab, you can
quickly select the ROCKSTER XS as an external player. For this, proceed as follows:
Push the [alt] button on
the Mac and click the
speaker symbol on the
menu bar. Select the
“ROCKSTER XS” from
the list under “Output
device”. All Mac sounds
will now be played back
via the ROCKSTER XS.
Connection via AUX
As an alternative to Bluetooth® and USB, 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 other connection
types.
For transmission via AUX, existing Blue-
tooth® and USB connections must be
disconnected. Otherwise, these connections
have priority over AUX.
