Using your Bluetooth Speaker
Let’s get started
Connecting a Bluetooth device
When using the Bluetooth connection, you can listen to audio wirelessly from a Bluetooth
audio device (e.g. smartphone) within 10 metres of the Bluetooth Speaker unit.
1. When in Bluetooth pairing mode you will see a flashing blue LED while the unit
searches for previously paired devices or makes itself available for new connections.
2. Enable Bluetooth on your audio device (e.g. smartphone) and search for available
bluetooth connections. Select the ‘BUSH WOOD SPEAKER’ from the list. If you are
asked for a pass code enter ‘0000’. The blue LED will stop flashing once connected.
If you turn off either device before pairing is complete the process will need to be
repeated when powered ON again.
Each time you switch the Bluetooth Speaker on and select BLUETOOTH mode the
device will automatically connect, unless you have un-paired the device on your
bluetooth audio device.
3. You can now begin playback from the audio device and the output will playback
through the Bluetooth Speaker.
4. When using a mobile phone as an audio source and you receive a phone call the
audio playback stops while you receive the call. When you hang up the audio is
restored.
The volume output is effected by the volume level on the audio source e.g.
smartphone, so make sure that is set to about 70-80% (not too loud to avoid distortion).
5. To un-pair (disconnect) a bluetooth device, press and hold the UNPAIR button (1).
The Bluetooth Speaker will now revert to search mode, and be available for new
connections.
