the power supply is connected) if a station or source has been saved to that preset.

Carefully selected Internet stations have been saved to each preset to allow you to

enjoy music immediately after you complete the set up.

5. NFC (Top of cabinet):

If your Android smart phone has NFC, make sure it is switched on in your device and be

sure the display on your device is unlocked. Change Amico’s source to Bluetooth. When

the Bluetooth icon begins flashing after about 15 seconds in the lower right corner of

the display, touch the NFC area of your smart phone to the NFC logo on the top of

Amico’s cabinet. You may need to adjust your smart phone’s position around the

cabinet’s NFC logo until it locates the signal. If your smart phone is in a case, the case

might reduce the NFC signal. Once NFC is established, follow the instructions displayed

on your smart phone’s display to establish the Bluetooth connection. Touch your smart

phone to the cabinet’s NFC logo again to disconnect from Bluetooth. If your device does

not support NFC, see the section marked “Bluetooth”. You should not need to pair or

use NFC again after successfully pairing a device, except to disconnect from Bluetooth.

You can peel off the NFC sticker if you prefer.

1. 18VDC/2.8A power inlet: Connect the included external power supply and snap in

the plug for your region if more than one is provided. The power supply will

automatically detect the correct voltage. The battery will charge whenever the

adapter is connected regardless of whether Amico is on or in standby. When Amico

is off without the adapter connected, it is completely off, not in standby. This is

intentional to preserve battery power.

Set Up Wizard

After turning Amico on for the first time, the Como Audio logo will be displayed,

followed by the Setup Wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions for each step. Rotate

the Menu knob and push in briefly to select, or use the track, arrow, and Play (which

doubles as “Select”) keys on the included remote control.

When prompted, we highly recommend you choose “Keep network connected” to

maintain accurate time, receive prompt notification of software updates, use the Como

Control app, etc.

If your WiFi network requires a password, select “skip WPS” if prompted and enter your

password. While in the password screen, rotate the Menu knob continuously up or

down to access additional letters and characters and press it in briefly to select. You may

find the remote keys handier for entering a password than using the menu knob. After

completing your entry, navigate over to the three boxes on the right side and select

“OK” to enter your password. If the password screen is shown again it means you failed

to enter the password correctly.

If you make a mistake and need to start over again from the beginning, press and hold

the Menu knob, select System Settings, Network, and Network Wizard. If your WiFi

network is not shown, press and hold the Menu knob, select System Settings, then

Factory Reset, and start the Setup Wizard again.

Alarms:

With Amico on, press the alarm key on the remote control, or press and hold the Menu

knob. Select Main Menu, then Alarms, then select Alarm 1 or 2. Set each category as

desired and be sure to select “Save” when you are done or else none of your settings

will be saved and the alarm will not be set. If you choose to wake to one of the Aux

inputs, you must have your Aux device playing, such as an MP3 player, as Amico cannot

activate your source device. In standby, press the remote’s alarm key to toggle the

alarms on or off without having to go into the Menu.

To Snooze, press the Menu knob or the Snooze key on the remote. Snooze will re-set

each time it is pressed.

To stop the alarm, press Amico’s power button or the Alarm button on the remote.

Note: If Amico is Off and the external adapter is not connected, the alarm cannot

activate.

Sleep:

To set the Sleep timer, press and hold the Menu knob, rotate to “Main menu” and select

it by pressing in the Menu knob, then rotate to and select “Sleep”. Rotate the Menu

knob to scroll through the sleep time options and select a Sleep period by briefly

pushing in the Menu knob. The display will eventually time out to the “Now playing”

screen and the Sleep icon and time will be displayed at the bottom of the display.

Note: If Amico is Off and the external adapter is not connected, Sleep cannot operate.

Daylight Savings Time adjustment/Clock accuracy:

If the time is incorrect by 1 hour, go into the System settings menu > Time/Date > Adjust

to DST > and select +1 or -1 hour to correct the time. While in System settings, verify

“Auto update” under Time/Date is set to “Update from network” and that you have a

consistent WiFi signal, as loss of signal will reset the time to twelve o’clock until the WiFi

signal is restored.

Bluetooth:

Rotate the source knob to Bluetooth and push in briefly to select. Open Bluetooth on

your enabled device and search/scan for the “Como Amico” name, then pair and

connect. Once you’ve paired you shouldn’t need to do it again. If your device prompts

you to enter a passcode, enter “0000”. Set your smart device’s volume at 100% and

adjust Amico’s volume as needed. If you use other Apps for music streaming, you can

connect your smart device via Bluetooth to stream them to Amico.

Backlight (in Menu > System settings > Backlight):

The On Level affects the backlight level whenever the unit is on.

The Dim Level affects the backlight level whenever the unit is in standby. You must

select a Timeout value in the Backlight menu in addition to the Dim Level in order for

the Dim Level to take effect in standby.

Adding Internet stations:

To request an Internet station be added, customize Internet station Favorite categories

and other options, please register on our web portal as described in the comprehensive

manual on our web site: www.comoaudio.com

My Music: UPnP

If you have music on other devices on your WiFi network you wish to stream to Amico

(most commonly using Windows Media Player (WMP)), open Windows Media Player on

your device and make it the default player. Under the “Stream” tab, select “Turn on

media streaming”, and next to “CA Amico”, tic “Allowed”.

On your Amico, Press and hold the menu knob and select System Settings, then select

Music player, and Shared media. Be sure your device and Amico are both connected to

the same WiFi network.

Amico will scan your network and present a list of device names. Select the device you

wish to play music from.

Use the track and play/pause keys on the included remote control to control the audio

tracks.

Note Amico’s display cannot play videos or show pictures from another device.

If you are streaming from a MAC, you will need to use a third-party UPnP server app.

DLNA:

You can stream audio from a DLNA media server.

Multi-room:

Set up and control of multi-room is primarily done through Como Audio’s Como Control

app. In the list of devices in the Como Control app, press the “plus” symbol to the right

of the unit you wish to make the host, then click on the units you wish to add to the

group to play whatever is playing on the host.

Download the free Como Control iOS or Android app from iTunes or the Google Play

store. The Como Control app will allow you to control many functions along with

multi-room.

Reboot/Reset:

In the event you experience a problem or atypical behavior, press the Reboot button on

the rear panel. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, try rebooting your router using it’s reset

button or by unplugging its power adapter. As a last resort, perform a Factory re-set in

the System Settings menu. Take note of your settings, WiFi password, and Presets, as

the Factory reset will erase your settings.

Outdoor use:

Amico is weather resistant but not water proof. It should never be placed under running

water or submerged.

Battery Playback and Charging time:

Results will vary depending on use, but at approximately 60% volume with a fully

charged battery, expect roughly 8 hours of playback time. A depleated battery pack will

take approximately 4 hours to fully charge (a lightning bolt icon will be shown during

charging). A warning message will repeatedly appear on the display several minutes

before the battery is about to run out of power. If a distortion sound is heard, that is an

audible warning the battery is about to die. The external power supply should be

connected immediately under either condition. Doing this repeatedly could shorten

battery life. During extended periods of non-use, be sure Amico is kept at room

temperature with a 40% battery charge.

To replace Amico’s battery, follow the instructions included with the replacement

battery pack (sold separately).
