MP3 player basic functionality:
- The MP3 player supports both SD cards and USB sticks of up to 32 GB (memory storage unit with higher
capacity may also be supported but this is not guaranteed). WAV and MP3 files are supported. Other file
types may be supported, but this is not guaranteed.
- The MP3 player normally starts automatically when the speaker is turned on. Press and hold the mode
button for 2 seconds to switch the MP3 player off or back on.
- Use the Mode button to switch between the various audio sources.
- Select Bluetooth mode to playback via Bluetooth. Pair the speaker by activating Bluetooth on your audio
device and selecting it from the list of Bluetooth devices nearby. Once the two are successfully paired and
the volume is turned up, you will hear a tone that indicates that the speaker is connected to your device.
- If the Bluetooth mode displays 'Disconnected', then a connection with the Bluetooth device was
unsuccessful. (12A/15A model only)
- If the Bluetooth mode displays 'Connected!', then the connection with the Bluetooth device was successful.
(12A/15A model only)
- It is not possible to pair a Bluetooth device unless Bluetooth mode is activated. It is not possible to make a
Bluetooth connection if the MP3 player is turned off or in FM mode, for instance.
- It is not possible to pair multiple Bluetooth devices with the speaker at the same time. In order to pair
another device, the current device needs to be disconnected.
- In FM radio mode, it is necessary to scan the FM range by holding down the Play/Pause button or holding it
down shortly. The radio will automatically scan for registered radio frequencies. You can interrupt this
process by pressing the Play/Pause button again, and then use the << and >> buttons to go to the following
or previous radio station. The MP3-player stores all scanned presets. If you use the speaker in another
location, it's recommended to carry out a new scan.
- The FM receiver on the MP3 player and the infrared transmitter are incorporated out of sight into the front
of the speaker. For optimal results, do not place anything in front of the speaker.
- For optimal results, it is recommended to carry out a full FM scan so you know which radio stations there
are to choose from. Once the player has completed a scan of all the available frequencies, it will
automatically switch back to the first preset.
- If you have a Bluetooth device, SD card or USB stick as your audio source, use the indicator controls on
the speaker. Play or pause a track with the >|| button, skip or go to previous tracks with the |<< or >>|
buttons.
- The MP3 player also features a main volume control. Use the V- or V+ buttons on the panel (hold the button
down until the desired volume level is reached) or use the remote control.
- The MP3 player in the Artis 8A and 10A has a mini USB plug for special types of storage media, including
certain Android devices. Compatibility with your specific device however can not be guaranteed.

Re ote control
The included infrared remote control is direction sensitive, which means it must always be pointed at the
front of the speaker for optimal coverage. Bear in mind that objects located between the transmitter and the
receiver can be negatively affected.
The speaker's infrared receiver is hidden behind the grille on the front of the speaker. It's located in the top
1/3rd of the speaker.
Functions of the remote control:
1. Play/pause button: Push this button to play or pause a track (this function does
not work in all modes, such as FM)
2. Channel +/-: Push this button to go to a previous or following channel(FM)
3. EQ function: Use this button to adjust the EQ preset of the player (this function
does not work in all modes, such as FM)
4. Vol +/-: Increase or decrease the volume level of the player. The volume is set to
ma imum value by default.
5. Prev/Ne t: Use this button to go to the previous or following track. This function
works in Bluetooth, USB and SD mode.
6. Number keys: Use these keys to go directly to a specific track in a mode that
works with files, or use it to select a radio preset in FM mode.
7. Pick Song: Use this button to confirm a number preset.
8. Enter: Use this button to select a playback mode (Artis 12A / 15A MKII models
only). It is possible to play tracks once.
9. Mode: Use this button to select the playback source. Choose between Bluetooth, USB, SD or FM. It is
possible that some modes are not available in the list, for e ample because the source device is not
connected.
Please note that other wireless infrared remote controls can have an effect on the functionality of the speaker
due to similar signals. This type of remote control is also used for consumer electronics.
When using multiple speakers with infrared functionality and only one speaker reacts to the remote control, it
is recommended to place them further apart and aim the infrared remote at the speaker in question in a way
that the other speaker(s) can not pick up the signal.

Operating the device
The Artis MKII speaker can be used for different purposes, but it's important to be aware of the following
information beforehand in order to achieve optimal performance.
Warning before use
Devine's Artis MKII speakers are capable of producing volume levels that can cause temporary or permanent
hearing damage. Use these units with care and keep the volume at a reasonable level when possible. The
volume should ideally be set to a comfortable level when listening to music.
Devine cannot be held liable for any injuries or damage resulting from the use of this product.
General use
Housing
The Artis MKII speaker has a robust housing made of moulded plastic. While this is designed to withstand
regular mobile use, it is not designed to withstand falls or damage by (relatively) sharp objects.
During use, storage and transport, ensure that the speaker cannot fall or be damaged by nearby objects that
could fall or move.
Handles
The Artis speakers are all equipped with a handle on the top and handles on both sides.
The handles are designed to make it easier to pick up and move the speakers only. They should never be
used as part of the speaker's installation. The use of harnesses or tension straps is not recommended when
stacking the speaker on top of a subwoofer, for instance. If you do decide to use harnesses or straps,
however, ensure that the handles are not subjected to great forces as this is likely to cause damage.
Protection during transport
While the Artis MKII speakers can be transported, they are not waterproof and caution is therefore advised if
they taken outside during rain or in adverse weather conditions. If they are e posed to moisture in any form,
ensure that they are completely dry again before use. Failure to do so may result in a short circuit which
could cause permanent damage or injury. E posure to moisture can also cause visible or invisible corrosion
which may cause damage in the long term.
Grille
The Artis MKII speakers are equipped with a metal grille on the front that protects the speaker components.
The grille should not be removed by the user. The acoustic foam behind the grilled keeps the components
safe from moisture, dust and other small particles.
Stand flange
The speaker is equipped with a 35 mm stand flange on the bottom which allows it to be easily mounted on a
stand. From an elevated position, the speaker's high tones will travel further thereby reaching a larger
audience.
For optimal sound dispersion, the middle of the speaker's woofer should ideally be placed at a height of
between 1.80 and 2.00 metres.
By means of a knob, the stand flange can be tightened to hold the speaker firmly in place on the stand. As
well as being secure, this also prevents undesirable vibrations and resonance.
When the speaker is mounted on a stand, make sure that the stand is not placed anywhere it will be in the
way and/or could be knocked over. The legs on a stand should always be fully e tended to ensure optimal
stability.
