Klipsch KMC1 - Music Center Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of the Klipsch^® Music Center kmc1! The kmc1 combines legendary Klipsch technology with Bluetooth^® and aptX^™ technology for truly hi-fidelity music playback from your favorite music device. With a Bluetooth® connected phone you can also conveniently answer, converse and terminate, or ignore incoming calls, from the kmc1. Its contemporary styling compliments any décor and you can take it almost anywhere with both AC and battery-power options.

AC POWER

To operate on AC power first select the one plug adapter (3 total supplied) that fits your AC outlet and insert into the supplied AC adapter. Plug other end of the AC adapter into back of the kmc1 marked DC IN, then plug AC adaptor into a functioning wall socket. On AC power, if no streaming or connected audio is detected for one hour the kmc1 will automatically go into READY mode.

BATTERY POWER

The kmc1 has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery capable of up to 16 hours of playing time. ALLOW 8 HOURS OF INITIAL CHARGE TIME BEFORE FIRST TIME BATTERY USE. Charging occurs when kmc1 is plugged into active AC outlet. If charging while kmc1 is off, VOLUME/BATTERY level indicator shows charging progress and indicator turns off when charging complete. Pushing UTILITY button down with kmc1 on (other than during a Bluetooth-connected phone call) will show current battery strength. The kmc1 operates on battery power unless AC power is utilized. On battery power, if no streaming or connected audio is detected for five minutes, the kmc1 will automatically go into READY mode. To put the unit back into ON mode simply press the ON / READY button on top. Turn off rear power switch to conserve battery.

USB CHARGING

NOTE: The USB jack is only for CHARGING most music players, phones, and tablets. Using the USB connection end of the charging cable for your device (not included), connect to the USB input on rear of the kmc1 to charge your device. You can charge your device using either AC or battery power for the kmc1.

NOTE: Using the USB input to charge your device while the kmc1 is on battery power will reduce battery life. If the battery in the kmc1 is too weak, the USB connection will not charge your device.

ANALOG MUSIC SOURCE

Any device with a standard 3.5mm headphone output can be connected to the AUX input (on back) with a mini-to-mini cable (included). Make sure volume on kmc1 is just above minimum, adjust volume on your device to max and play music. Use SOURCE SELECT to switch to AUX input if necessary. Adjust volume with the volume buttons on the kmc1 to desired level.

BLUETOOTH MUSIC SOURCE

Any paired Bluetooth device within a 30 foot (9.1 m) range of the kmc1 can wirelessly stream music. For a Bluetooth connected device, set the kmc1's volume to max and adjust the volume to the desired level using the Bluetooth streaming device.

PHONE CONVERSATIONS

You can answer/terminate or ignore a phone call from any paired Bluetooth phone. An incoming phone call will pause music and send your connected phone's ring tone through the kmc1. To answer, briefly press the UTILITY button on the kmc1. Then listen and talk using the kmc1 as you would a speakerphone. Adjust volume using the volume + and – buttons on the kmc1 to desired level. Mute the kmc1's microphone during a phone call (so the caller cannot hear you) by briefly pressing the ON / READY and VOLUME DOWN buttons together. Unmute the microphone by briefly pressing the same two buttons again. Terminate the call by briefly pressing the UTILITY button again. To ignore a call, press and hold the UTILITY button until the incoming call stops.

PAIRING BLUETOOTH DEVICES

Press and hold the Bluetooth button (∞) until it flashes (~ 3 seconds). Do not touch any other buttons on the kmc1 during this process. Activate the Bluetooth feature on your device, setting it up to pair with "Klipsch kmc1". Once paired, the kmc1 will automatically select Bluetooth as the source. We recommend following the volume setting instructions in the Bluetooth Music Source section before playing any music. If the last paired Bluetooth device is not available or not playing it will automatically choose the AUX (3.5mm input) as the source. The kmc1 can store up to 8 paired Bluetooth devices.

CARE AND CLEANING

Your kmc1 music center has a durable finish that only requires dry dusting or cleaning with a dry cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and harsh detergents. Adhesive tape will clean up the rubber device area. Do not rub hard. Window cleaner and a paper towel will clean the surface well.
