Set to the “USB” position

NOTE

If you are using the app on an Android smartphone that’s 

connected via a USB cable, set the power select switch to 

“BATTERY” so that the unit is powered by batteries.
Using the “USB” position might cause problems, such as the 

battery of your smartphone running down.

When using batteries

Insert four rechargeable Ni-MH (AA) batteries. This allows 

approximately 10 hours of playing.

*  When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the 

buttons and knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit 

carefully; do not drop it.

*  Battery life can vary depending on the specifications of the 

batteries, capacity of the batteries, and the conditions of use.

*  When the batteries run low, the power LED (orange) blinks.
*  If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion fluid 

leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items 

related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” 

(p. 10) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 11).

When supplying power from a USB AC adaptor

Connect the included power supply USB cable (type A) and USB 

AC adaptor to the USB port of the Aerophone GO.
You can play without being concerned about how 

much battery power you have left.

The Bluetooth functionality is on. Use this position when 

using the Aerophone GO with an app that’s installed on 

your smartphone.

*  The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after 

a predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last 

used for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated 

(Auto Off function). To prevent the power from turning off 

automatically, make settings in the app to disable the Auto Off 

function. To turn the power on again, set the [

L

] switch to the 

“OFF” position, and then move it back to the “ON” position.

*  When you turn the power switch “OFF,” the power LED blinks 

and the shutdown process occurs. Do not remove the batteries 

or disconnect the USB AC adaptor until the LED goes dark.

Wrapping the Band

If you continue playing for an extended 

time, saliva from your mouth might drip 

down across the instrument and enter the 

interior from around the [

L

] switch or any 

keys.
When playing the instrument, wrap the 

included band around it as shown in the 

illustration.

Attaching the Neck Strap

Place the strap over your neck, 

and attach the hook of the 

strap to the strap ring of the 

Aerophone GO.
