MAO-Clip Functions
The device's functions are controlled by different button press durations:
- Short: Longer than 50 ms and shorter than 600 ms
- Long: Longer than 600 ms
- Very long: Longer than 5 seconds
 |
Top button
- Short press: Stop (media_key_stop)
- Long press: Play from beginning (key_media_period or "." key)
- Extralong press: Adjust the number of volume steps (2 → 3 → 1)
To confirm, the yellow LED flashes according to the selected level: 1 flash = 1 step 2 flashes = 2 steps 3 flashes = 3 steps
This function is particularly helpful on tablets and smartphones, as the standard volume steps are often too small to quickly achieve a noticeable change. Alternatively, on laptops, the volume control can be customized using AutoHotkey (implemented from version 09.02.2026).
Rotary control
- Rotary function
Turning the control sends a volume command depending on the direction: Decrease volume (key_media_volume_down) Increase volume (key_media_volume_up)
- Button function (push button)
The rotary control also functions as a push button:
- Short: Play/Pause (key_media_play_pause)
- Long: Next track (key_media_next_track)
- Very long: Reverse rotation direction
After successfully reversing the rotation direction, the yellow LED flashes twice to confirm (implemented from version 09.02.2026).
Status LED
- Flashing yellow: Device is ready for pairing.
- Solid yellow: The MAO is connected to a device.
If the MAO is to be connected to another device, the existing connection must first be disconnected.
Charging LED
- Flashing red: The internal battery is charging.
- Solid red: The battery is fully charged, or the on/off switch next to the USB port is turned off preventing charging.
- LED off (with charging cable connected and device turned on): The battery is fully charged.

Note:
Please do not pay any attention to the battery indicator information within the Bluetooth connection (e. g. 100 %) For reasons of energy saving and runtime maximization, we have not implemented any active battery charge level information.
