HOW TO USE YOUR NEW SANGEAN RA-101

It is advised to adhere to the directions to properly operate the new SANGEAN RA-101.

  • Bluetooth streaming music listening to the first pairing and use of your Bluetooth device
  1. To select the BT (Bluetooth) mode, turn the Mode knob. When the radio is discoverable, the LED indicator will blink blue.
  2. To connect to the radio, turn on Bluetooth on your device following the instructions in the user manual. Choose the "RA-101" device from the Bluetooth device list after finding it. You might need to enter the passcode "0000" with some mobile handsets that have Bluetooth devices that are older than BT2.1.
  3. A confirmation tone will ring once the connection has been made. The blue LED signal will not change. You may easily choose and start playing any song on your source device. Either your source device or the radio itself can be used to control the volume.
  4. To explore and pause music, utilize the controls on your Bluetooth-enabled device.
  • Disconnecting your Bluetooth device

To break the connection with your Bluetooth device, turn the Mode knob to a mode other than Bluetooth mode or turn off Bluetooth on your Bluetooth device.

  • True Wireless Stereo (TWS) functionality

A feature that enables wireless connections between devices is called true wireless stereo (also known as TWS). Your RA-101 and another RA-101 can be wirelessly linked so that music can be played simultaneously through both speakers.

Note: The Bluetooth device cannot be paired to either speaker until the TWS connection between the 2 units are established. (Same procedure applies to every connection) 

  1. Turn the first speaker's Mode knob to BT (Bluetooth). The blue LED signal will flash.
  2. Next, turn the second speaker's Mode knob to TWS. Additionally, the blue LED indicator will flash.
  3. When the TWS is linked correctly, a confirmation tone will play after a brief interval. On the second speaker, the blue LED indicator will not change.
  4. Next, link the primary speaker to the Bluetooth device. A confirmation tone will ring when the device is connected, and the blue LED indication will stay lit.
  5. To make the linked Bluetooth device's playback more user-friendly, the volume control is synchronized between both speakers and the transmitting device when adjusted.

Note: The volume setting of one speaker is reflected on the other.

Not all player software or hardware may respond to every one of these controls. When using two speakers, you can change the audio mode by click through the Volume knob. When the dial's entire circumference is illuminated by the indicating backlight: It is in MONO mode for speakers to play identical sound. When the indicating backlight on the dial flashes three times in half-circle (Left or Right) around the dial, it shows which channel (L/R) is currently being assigned to under Stereo mode between the two speakers.

  • Disconnecting TWS connection

To disconnect the TWS, turn the Mode knob to any mode other than the one it is in now.
The dimmable backlight around the tuning scale dial can be controlled by the volume knob by press and hold it for 2 seconds followed by rotating in both directions. Press and volume knob again to validate the adjustment.
