ing or other unusual odours, disconnect

it immediately from the power supply

and do not operate it.

• The On/Standby button does not dis-

connect the device from the mains.

Therefore, set up the device so that the

mains plug is easily accessible.

• Never open the unit’s housing.

Repairs may only be carried out by an

authorised specialist workshop. Only

parts which conform with the original

unit speciﬁcations may be used in this

case. There are electrical and mechan

ical parts in this unit which are nec-

essary in order to avoid exposure to

sources of danger.

• Use only accessories speciﬁed by the

manufacturer.

• Do not insert any objects in the case

openings.

• Only use the unit in indoor areas.

• Do not operate the unit in damp are

as and protect it from drops of water or

splash water.

Also take care not to stand vases or

other containers ﬁlled with liquid on or

Danger to hearing!

Extended listening at high vol

umes may lead to hearing

loss.

There is a potential risk of sudden very

high noise pressure especially when ac-

tivating the device which is set to full vol-

ume. This may have psychological conse-

quences and also cause physical injury.

Children and pets are particularly at risk.

• Set your signal source unit volume con-

trol to a low setting.

• When the volume is set high, always

keep a certain distance from the unit

tip or fall down and cause injury to

persons or be damaged itself.

• Arrange the unit so that it can-

not be knocked over accidentally and

make sure that the power cord do not

pose a trip hazard.

stroy the unit.

• If the unit is to be left unsupervised for

a long period (e.g. during a holiday),

or if a thunderstorm is forecast, discon-

nect the power plug from the mains

power supply.

Volume

1 3

Use the volume buttons 1 and 3 to adjust

the volume on the iTeufel

Air Blue.

Increasing the volume:

Push the + 3 button

Decreasing the volume:

Push the — 1 button

In the event of playback via Bluetooth or

the Line In 5 input, you also have to adjust

the volume on the source device.

In the event of playback via AirPlay, you

can use the buttons 1 and 3 to adjust the

volume on the source device or the source

device directly controls the volume on the

iTeufel

Air Blue.

Audio input

You can connect almost any audio source

to the 3.5 mm Line In 5 jack plug such

as a computer, MP3 player (with/without

a dock), video game system, television

etc. The source device must have an out-

put with a line control. This kind of output

is either a stereo RCA jack or a 3.5 mm

jack plug. Use a corresponding connec-

tor cable to connect these devices to the

Line In 5 jack.

You can obtain suitable connector ca-

bles from our webshop in the “Accesso-

ries” area.

Once the iTeufel

Air Blue activates, play-

back will begin automatically after a few

seconds.

Please note that music being played back

via the wireless systems has priority over

line input.

• iTeufel

Air Blue

Bluetooth operation

Your iTeufel

Air Blue can receive au-

dio signals from source devices using

the Bluetooth radio system. Most mobile

phones and a large number of PCs, lap

tops and tablet PCs are equipped with

this radio system. Your iTeufel

Air Blue

can receive signals in accordance with

the A2DP standard. The range amounts to

approx. 10 meters, which is, however, af

fected by walls and furniture.

Bluetooth pairing

To play the audio of your Bluetooth-ready

device on the iTeufel

Air Blue, you must

ﬁrst connect the two devices with each

other. The technical term for this is “pair

ing”.

1. Turn the iTeufel

Air Blue on and wait

until the control LED stops blinking

quickly in white.

2. At the same time, push and hold all

three buttons on the top of the iTeufel

Air Blue for approx. 3 seconds.

The control LED 8 will start to blink

quickly.

source device.

If your source device requests a pass-

word or passcode, enter “0000” (four

zeros).

For AirPlay operation your iTeufel

Air

Blue is linked to your wireless home net-

work and is then able to receive au-

dio signals corresponding to the Apple

AirPlay protocol from all devices (al-

so wired devices) in this network. The

range of the radio system station (router,

AP) to the iTeufel

Air Blue amounts to

approx. 25 metres.

Connecting to the wireless

network

When using the iTeufel

Air Blue for the

ﬁrst time, it must be connected to your

wireless network once.

• Before cleaning, always disconnect the

mains plug from the socket.

Attention

Risk of damage!

Using the wrong cleaning

agent may damage the sensi

nal authority/borough. In this way it is en-

sured, that used units are properly recy-

cled and that negative consequences on

the environment are avoided.

For this reason, electrical equipment is

marked with the following symbol.
