The USB charger
The USB charger is designed so that you can
also use it in the USA:
• For this purpose, push the plug adapter off
upwards and fold the two contact pins out.
The charger now also fits American sockets.
Once the rechargeable battery has been
fully charged, pull the USB charger out
of the socket and pull the USB plug out of the
USB jack (10). You will save power this way.
To preserve the rechargeable battery, do not
quickly connect and disconnect the charger
and the ROCKSTER XS in succession.
Operation
Activating/deactivating
• Activating: Briefly push the button (2).
The red LED (11) will illuminate.
• Deactivating: Push and hold the button
for approx. 3 seconds.
All LEDs are off.
If the ROCKSTER XS does not receive
a signal for 15 minutes, the device will
switch off. You can switch the ROCKSTER XS
back on with the button (2).
Connection to the external player
Your ROCKSTER XS offers 3 connection op-
tions:
– via Bluetooth
®
(priority 1)
– via USB as a sound card (priority 2)
– via AUX (priority 3)
If there is a signal present at all 3 connections,
transmission will occur via Bluetooth® (priority
1). If you stop Bluetooth
®
transmission, play-
back will occur via USB (priority 2). Only when
you also stop playback on the external USB
player, transmission will occur via AUX (priority
3).
Bluetooth
®
connection
You can connect compatible devices, such as
most smartphones, with your ROCKSTER XS
via Bluetooth
®
(pairing). The audio output of
your smartphone is then played back by the
ROCKSTER XS.
You can connect two external players with the
ROCKSTER XS at the same time (see „Simulta-
neous pairing of two external players“ on page
24).
1. Turn on the Bluetooth
®
function on your
external player (e.g. smartphone).
2. Push and hold the
button (6) for approx.
3seconds.
The blue Bluetooth
®
LED (14) will now blink
until pairing is complete (no more than 60
seconds).
3. Let your smartphone search for Bluetooth
®
devices (you can find more information
in the user manual of your smartphone).
“Teufel ROCKSTER XS” should also appear
in the list of detected devices following the
scan.
4. Select “Teufel ROCKSTER XS” from the list
of detected devices.
If your external player requires the entry of a
PIN code, enter the PIN code “0000” set by
factory default.
Pairing is now complete and your
ROCKSTER XS is linked to the external
player. The blue Bluetooth
®
LED (14) will
illuminate continuously. The ROCKSTER XS
will now play back all sounds that would
otherwise be played by your external player.
To disconnect the Bluetooth
®
connection, hold
the button (6) down for approx. 3seconds or
terminate the connection on your smartphone.
Establishing a connection with an external
player that is already paired
If your ROCKSTER XS was already connected
to an external player, it will be saved in the
ROCKSTER XS. It is then no longer necessary
to switch the ROCKSTER XS to pairing mode
in order to establish a new connection. You
can simply select it in the list of paired devices
instead.
NFC
With NFC, you can quickly and comforta-
bly establish a Bluetooth
®
connection be-
tween a compatible external player and the
ROCKSTER XS.
Notice:
Only one external player can be con-
nected via NFC. If you want to connect another
external player, please proceed as described
in the chapter „Simultaneous pairing of two
external players“ on page 24.
1. Switch the ROCKSTER XS on and make sure
that the NFC function on your external play-
er has been switched on. Bluetooth
®
does
not have to be turned on.
2. Hold your external player close to the con-
trol panel of the ROCKSTER XS.
A Bluetooth
®
connection will be established
between the devices after a short time.
You may be asked to allow the NFC
connection. In this case, confirm the
request on your external player.
Connection via USB
To operate the ROCKSTER XS as a sound card
on a PC or MAC, connect the micro-USB jack
(10) with a USB port on your computer. Use
the enclosed USB cable to do so. If you would
like to use another USB cable, make sure that
all contacts are completely occupied.
With Windows 7, 8 and 10 as well as Mac OSX
10.5 and higher, no special driver software is
required to operate the ROCKSTER XS. The
operating systems detect the ROCKSTER XS
as speaker “ROCKSTER XS” when establishing
the USB connection.
For the transmission via USB, any
exist-
ing Bluetooth
®
transmission must be
stopped. Otherwise, these connections have
priority over USB.
Windows 7, 8 and 10:
When establishing the USB connection,
Windows automatically detects the
ROCKSTER XS and allocates playback accord-
ingly.
To quickly switch
between the
playback devices,
right click the
speaker icon on
the task bar and
select “Playback
devices.” The corresponding “Sound” tab of
the control panel will open.
In the “Sound” control panel, you can select
the ROCKSTER XS as the playback device on
the “Playback” tab. All PC sounds will now be
played back via the ROCKSTER XS.
Mac OS X
In the “Sound” system preference, you can se-
lect the ROCKSTER XS as the playback device
on the “Output” tab. All Mac sounds will now
be played back via the ROCKSTER XS.
If you place a check mark under “Display
volume on the menu bar” on the tab, you can
quickly select the ROCKSTER XS as an exter-
nal player. For this, proceed as follows:
Push the [alt] button on
the Mac and click the
speaker symbol on the
menu bar. Select the
“ROCKSTER XS” from
the list under “Output
device”. All Mac sounds
will now be played back
via the ROCKSTER XS.
Connection via AUX
As an alternative to Bluetooth
®
and USB, you
can also connect your ROCKSTER XS to the
headphone jack of the external player via an
AUX cable with 3.5 mm jack plugs for example.
Select the cable connection if you do not wish
or are not allowed to use the other connection
types.
For transmission via AUX, existing Blue-
tooth
®
and USB connections must be
disconnected. Otherwise, these connections
have priority over AUX.
• The buttons
(1), (3) and (4) do not
work with an AUX connection.
• Due to the varying output of the source de-
vices, the volume can be less with transmis-
sion via AUX than via Bluetooth
®
.
Stereo Connect
With this function, you can connect your
ROCKSTER XS with a second ROCKSTER XS
and enjoy your music in stereo.
A connection with an external player may
already exist or can be established subse-
quently.

1. For ROCKSTER XS no. 1, push the buttons
+(5) and (6) at the same time.
The LEDs (13), (14) and (15) will blink.
2. With ROCKSTER XS no. 2, also push these
buttons.
The LEDs (13), (14) and (15) will also blink
here.
3. After a short time, the two ROCKSTER XS
will connect with one another. If this is not
the case, align the top sides of the two
ROCKSTER XS towards one another.
Once the connection has been established,
the LEDs (13) (right channel) and (15) (left
channel) will indicate which ROCKSTER XS
is transmitting which stereo channel.
More information about “Stereo Connect”
• Depending on the setup location and setup
type, the range may vary in Stereo Connect
mode. Set the two ROCKSTER XS up so that
they are within a direct “line of sight” of one
another and are no further apart than 1 m.
• The buttons (1), (3) and (4) work with
both ROCKSTER XS equally (only with a
Bluetooth
®
connection).
• If you switch off one ROCKSTER XS, the con-
nected ROCKSTER XS will also be switched
off.
• If both ROCKSTER XS are switched back on,
they will automatically reconnect. To perma-
nently disconnect the connection, push the
buttons – (7) and (6) at the same time on
one of the devices.
Other functions
When a call is received
If your ROCKSTER XS is connected with a
compatible smartphone via Bluetooth
®
, music
playback will be muted when a call is received.
You can answer the call with your smartphone
and take the phone call as usual. After you
hang up, music playback will continue at the
previously selected volume.
Interruption of connection
If your ROCKSTER XS moves out of the range
of your external player, the Bluetooth
®
connec-
tion will be interrupted. The connection will
be re-established automatically when you are
back within range.
Simultaneous pairing of two external
players
Two external players can be paired with your
ROCKSTER XS at the same time (party mode).
The external player on which playback was last
started always has precedence.
1. Pair the first external player with the
ROCKSTER XS.
2. Push and hold the button (6) for approx.
3seconds.
3. Now also pair the second external player
with the ROCKSTER XS.
4. Eventually, you will have to select the
ROCKSTER XS again from the list of paired
devices for the first external player.
The audio output of your external players is
now emitted by the ROCKSTER XS.
