Charging the Internal Battery

The KPM5 is equipped with an internal Li-ion rechargeable battery. Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the battery. Recharge the battery by connecting the microUSB socket to a USB power supply (5V, 800mA) using the provided USB to microUSB lead.

Operation

Powering On: To switch the KPM5 on, press and hold the Power On/Off button on top of the control panel. A blue LED will light up. Speak into the microphone and push the Mic Level slider upwards to hear the sound from the internal speaker.

Echo and Harmony Effects: The slider on the right side of the control panel adjusts the amount of echo effect mixed with the microphone sound. In addition to the echo effect, press and hold the FX button to select a harmony effect. Repeated pressing of the FX button will cycle through different harmony settings.

Playback Modes: Short presses of the Power On/Off button will step through the available playback modes.

Mp3 Player Mode

For playback of tracks to sing along to, the KPM5 has a microSD card slot and a USB port. Connect either of these memory devices (formatted to FAT32) with MP3 tracks stored on them, and playback should start automatically.

Volume for the media player is controlled by the '+' and '-' buttons on the right side of the panel. Track navigation is controlled by pressing the Previous or Next track buttons. Pressing Play/Pause will alternately play or pause the track.

FM Tuner Mode

In addition to MP3 playback, the KPM5 has a mode for FM radio. In FM radio mode, press and hold Play/Pause to auto-tune the available radio stations and store them into internal memory. These stations can then be stepped through using the Previous and Next buttons.

Bluetooth Mode

The final mode for the media player is for Bluetooth playback from a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled audio player. Search for the "QTX" device, pair for media playback, and play a track on the smartphone or player. Navigation is controllable via the Play/Pause, Previous, and Next buttons.

Headphones Output

For quiet practice, connect a pair of stereo headphones to the 3.5mm output jack, which disconnects the internal speaker. Alternatively, this output can be used to connect to further powered speakers or recording devices.

Recording to a Smartphone

Some smartphone karaoke apps are designed to allow playback of backing tracks from the smartphone with simultaneous recording back to the smartphone memory. The KPM5 is compatible with these apps by connecting via the supplied 3.5mm jack to microUSB lead.
