Coleman AktivSounds CBT10TWS User Manual

Powering CBT10TWS On / Off

Press and hold the power button until you hear
an audible tone. A blue LED will flash every two
seconds to indicate that it is powered on and
searching for a Bluetooth source to pair with.

To power the
speaker off,
press and hold
the power button
until an audible
tone is heard.
This will indicate
that the speaker
is
powered off.

NOTE: The speaker will automatically power

off after eight minutes if the Bluetooth
connection is not paired with a device.

Connecting CBT10TWS via Bluetooth

Once powered on, the speaker will automatically

enter pairing mode. Go into your phone/tablet’s

Bluetooth settings and enable Bluetooth. Next,
enter the Bluetooth device list and select
Coleman_CBT10TWS. After selected, wait a
few seconds for the pairing to complete. Once
the pairing is successful, you will hear and
audible tone from the speaker and a blue LED
will begin flashing every few seconds.

NOTE: The CBT10TWS will automatically

connect to a previously paired device if the
paired device’s Bluetooth radio is powered
enabled and within reachable distance.

NOTE: An additional battery icon will appear

next to the Bluetooth icon at the top right of your

phone/tablet’s screen, indicating the speaker’s

battery level. This is compatible only with
certain devices.

Linking another CBT10TWS for True
Wireless Sound

The CBT10TWS includes True Wireless Stereo
(TWS) technology. This enables you to link two
speakers to emit a true left / right stereo sound.

On both CBT10TWS speakers, press and hold
the M button simultaneously until an audible
tone is heard from one or both speakers (if one
CBT10TWS is already connected to a Bluetooth
source, it will not make an audible tone).

They will each sound separately to indicate that
linking mode has been initiated. An additional
audible tone will follow within 15 seconds from
both speakers, indicating that they have
successfully linked together.

The master speaker (left audio channel) is
indicated by a blue LED flashing every few
seconds. The slave speaker (right audio
channel) is indicated by a red/blue LED flashing
every few seconds. When linked they work
together as a true left and right stereo speaker,
splitting the audio signal to the correct channels.

NOTE: When TWS is enabled, you only need

to Bluetooth pair to one speaker. As normally,
select Coleman_ CBT10TWS from your
Bluetooth device list. This will connect your
phone/tablet with the master speaker which will
wirelessly broadcast the right audio signal to the
slave speaker.

NOTE: Press and hold the M button on either

speaker for three seconds to unlink the
speakers. Music will then only play through the
master speaker.

NOTE: Powering off one of the CBT10TWS

speakers will power them both off. If you power
both of them back on within eight seconds of
each other, they will automatically relink and
reconnect to your Bluetooth source.

Connecting CBT10TWS via Auxiliary
Input

If you would like to use a device that is not
equipped with Bluetooth technology, simply
connect the included auxiliary 3.5mm cable from
your device to the Line-In input at the base of
the CBT10TWS. Tap the M button to cycle
between Bluetooth and Line-In modes.

NOTE: If you have already stereo linked your

CBT10TWS to another speaker, and then use
the Line-In to the primary speaker, music will
automatically play from both speakers in True
Wireless Stereo with the secondly speaker
connected wirelessly.

Controlling the Sound on Your
CBT10TWS

PLAY / PAUSE

DECLINE PHONE CALL

Double tap the M button of the master speaker

NOTE: If linked to a second CBT10TWS

speaker, all of the controls on one CBT10TWS
speaker will apply to both speakers.

Answering or Making Calls

If there is an incoming call on your paired
phone/tablet, the music will pause and the ringer
will ring through the CBT10TWS speaker. To
answer a call, simply press the power button of
the master speaker.

To end a call, simply press the power button of
the master speaker

NOTE: For best performance and clarity,

operate the CBT10TWS within an arm’s length.

Ensure that the MIC port (next to the M button)
faces your direction.

Charging your CBT10TWS

Simply plug the included USB cord into the USB
port at the base of the speaker. You may need
to unscrew the arm or suction cup base to
access the USB port. Once plugged in, the LED

will illuminate RED. It will turn off once the
internal battery is fully charged.

Preserving the Waterproof Seal

Ensure that the attachment (either the arm or
suction cup base) is fully screwed into place. If
an attachment is not fully screwed into place,

then the CBT10TWS’ waterproof seal will be

compromised. Exercise extreme caution near
wet settings if no attachment is screwed on.

Locking the Flexible Arm into Place

To lock the CBT10TWS’ flexible arm into place,

loop the end of the arm through the open slot at

the arm’s base and twist the arm’s tip to the right

or left. This will ensure a tight lock.

Factory Reset

If you are experiencing connectivity issues, you
may need to perform a hard reset on your
CBT10TWS. To do so, press the +/- buttons at

the same for six seconds. An audible tone will
sound after four seconds, followed by the LED
flashing blue after six seconds. Once reset
successfully, the LED indicator will flash every
two seconds and will enter pairing mode.
