Using the Coturn CT - 01 is easy. First, charge it using the USB - C charging cable. Once charged, you can connect it to your Bluetooth headphones or speakers. Just press the button to extend the tone arm. On the right, you'll see an LED display where you can choose the speed of the record you want to play. You can also connect it to any device with WiFi or Bluetooth. When you're done using it, retract the tone arm into the housing for safe storage and transport. As for maintenance, keep it clean by using a soft, dry cloth. If the stylus gets worn out, you can easily replace it with an ATN3600L stylus. Make sure to store it in the carrying case when not in use to protect it from damage. Also, when playing records, be aware of the Auto - Stop feature which activates after 4 - 5 seconds of silence.
