Operation

Press the on/off switch at the rear of the speaker to switch on. A chime will be heard, and the Bluetooth indicator will light up blue to indicate that the speaker is searching for an available Bluetooth audio device. Press the on/off switch on the rear of the speaker to switch off.

Bluetooth Operation

The SingCube is a high-quality Bluetooth speaker. Music can be played through the SingCube Speaker from a compatible Bluetooth device such as a mobile phone or tablet device. Using your mobile phone or other Bluetooth enabled device, search for Bluetooth devices and select 'RJSC01' from the list of devices found. The Bluetooth device should then connect to the speaker and the status indicator will light continually in blue to show the successful connection.

• Press the PREVIOUS track button to go back to the start of the track. Press twice to select the previous track.

Volume control

The output volume can be adjusted in two ways as follows:

• Adjust the volume on the Bluetooth device, mobile phone, tablet computer, iPad etc.
• Press the VOL- or VOL+ buttons on the speaker.

Switching the Lightshow On/Off

Press and hold the MODE button to switch the lightshow on or off.

Listening to your iPhone, iPod, MP3 player etc.

You can listen to the sound of a connected external audio device such as an iPhone, iPod or MP3 player through your speaker. Connect one end of the 3.5 mm jack cable supplied to the AUX input socket located at the rear of the Bluetooth speaker, and the other end to your audio equipment (iPhone, iPod, MP3, PC, CD player, etc). Press the MODE button to select the AUX input mode. The AUX indicator light will light up red to indicate AUX mode. Operate the audio device as normal.

NOTE: Use the volume control and skip forward/backward controls of the connected audio device to control the song playback. Use the PLAY/PAUSE button on the speaker to mute and then unmute the music playback.

Using the Microphone

You can sing along to any music playing from the speaker using the microphone or microphones included. Plug the microphone into the microphone sockets on the top of the speaker and slide the microphone power switch to the on position. Adjust the microphone volume and echo control as desired. If any howling sound occurs, then stand further away from the speaker or reduce the music or microphone volume until the howling stops.

NOTE: Do not tap or bang the microphone as this can cause damage to both the microphone and speaker. Be careful not to twist or strain the microphone cable and do not swing the microphone by the cable as this will cause irreparable damage.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you encounter any issues while using the SingCube then please check the following before contacting the retailer or manufacturer for further help:

No power

• The power is not on; make sure the SingCube ON/OFF switch is set to On.
• The SingCube could be completely out of charge. Recharge the SingCube using a USB power supply and then try again.

No lightshow effect

The Lightshow is probably just switched off. Press and hold the MODE button to turn on the lights.

No sound – Bluetooth mode

Make sure that you are not trying to use Bluetooth while the AUX in cable is connected.

No sound – AUX Input mode

• Make sure the 3.5mm jack cable has been plugged in.
• Make sure the iPod/iPhone/MP3 player is connected properly and that a song is playing.

No sound from the microphone

• Make sure the microphone is firmly connected to the MIC socket.
• Make sure the ON/OFF switch on the microphone is set to the ON position.
• Make sure the MIC Volume control setting is not set too low.
• The Volume could be set to minimum; raise the volume.

Bluetooth device pairing problems

Mobile phone or Tablet etc. cannot be paired or connected with the SingCube:

• You may not have not activated the Bluetooth function of your mobile device; refer to the Bluetooth device user guide.
• The SingCube is not in pairing mode; switch the SingCube off and then on to restart pairing.
• Another Bluetooth device may be connected; disconnect that device before trying to connect a new Bluetooth device.

Other Bluetooth problems

The music does not play on the SingCube after successfully connecting with Bluetooth:

• Ensure your Bluetooth device can support the A2DP Bluetooth profile.
• The volume on the external Bluetooth device is set to low or muted; raise the volume of the Bluetooth device as required.
• The Bluetooth audio breaks up. Move the Bluetooth device closer to the SingCube or switch off the 'Wi-Fi' on the Bluetooth device as that can sometimes improve the audio playback quality.
