Nordell Micro – playing music from a TF / microSD card

Updated

Symptom

You want to play music on the Nordell Micro directly from a memory card without a Bluetooth connection.


Quick Fix

Insert a microSD card containing MP3 files into the card slot and press the power button briefly to switch the audio source to TF card mode.

Preparing the TF card

A TF card is the same thing as a microSD card — just a different name for the same product. You can use any microSD card.

1. Copy MP3 files onto the microSD card using a computer. The files must be in MP3 format.

2. You can organise the files into folders or put them directly in the root of the card — both work.

3. Make sure the card is formatted as FAT32 (most new cards already are).

Inserting the card and playing

1. Find the TF card slot on the side of the speaker.

2. Insert the microSD card in the correct orientation (contacts facing inward). The card clicks into place.

3. Power on the speaker.

4. Press the power button briefly to switch the audio source to TF card mode. You will hear a beep confirming the mode change.

5. Playback starts automatically from the first track.

6. Use the next/previous buttons to move between tracks.

Troubleshooting

If the speaker does not recognise the card:

- Make sure the card is fully seated (a small click)

- Try formatting the card as FAT32 on your computer

- Make sure the files are in MP3 format (not FLAC, WAV, or other formats)

- Try a different microSD card

Nordell Micro compact Bluetooth speaker

Pieni, mutta pippurinen Bluetooth-kaiutin, joka kulkee mukana minne tahansa – rannalle, saunaan tai roikkuu vyölenkistä, kun poistat eilisen kebabin jäänteitä viemäristä. IPX6-luokituksen ansiosta se ei pelkää vettä, hikeä eikä satunnaisia virtsasuihkuja (kyllä, me testaamme nämä asiat). Bluetooth toimii luotettavasti noin 10 metriin asti, eli juuri sen verran, että voit jättää juomasi pöydälle ilman pelkoa sen katoamisesta. Akkukin kestää pidempään kuin ajatus, vaikka ei ihan aamunkoittoon asti.
