WiMe Kurve Wireless Stereo Receiver User Guide

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 Bluetooth adjust the playback volume, using the volume control of your hi-fi or speaker system.

3 BLUETOOTH® PAIRING

“Pairing” is a process of linking two devices using Bluetooth wireless technology so that they 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.
