Bluetooth

The Mondo Alto can work as a Bluetooth transmitter or Bluetooth receiver; however, it cannot

function as both at the same time. When you want to play music from your smartphone /

tablet, go to the Home Screen on the Mondo Alto, select Settings, and then select Bluetooth.

You should then see it on the list of available Bluetooth devices on your smart device. Once

you select the Mondo Alto on your smart device, the radio will now show the name of the

smartphone / tablet that it is paired to. On the Mondo Alto, select the smart device, then

select Pair.

Now on your smart device simply press play on the music that you want to stream via

Bluetooth and the music will start playing on the Mondo Alto. After your initial set up, the

next time you want to play Bluetooth you will have to select the device from the Mondo

Alto menu.

For example, if you are playing Bluetooth music from your smartphone and you then later

press the preset 1 on the Mondo Alto to play your previously saved radio station. To play

Bluetooth music again you will have to select your device from the Mondo Alto Bluetooth

menu. After you select your device you will be shown 3 options:

Play: If you want to play the music.

Disconnect: If you want to stop playing music but keep the smartphone device in the

Mondo Alto memory. By doing this, it will release your smartphone from playing music but

if you later press play on the Mondo Alto, assuming your device is still in range, pressing

play on the Mondo Alto will start playing music from your device again.

Unpair: Will disconnect the Mondo Alto and place the Mondo Alto into pairing mode

to be paired to another phone.

NOTE: If you unpair your smart device and then want to pair back to the Mondo Alto again, depending on the smart

device you may have to delete the Mondo Alto name out of your device’s Bluetooth list, or turn Bluetooth on and off

on your smart device. Then the Mondo Alto will display again and you can repair, connect, and start playing.
