Set Up Recommendations 1-2-3

Turn on Bluetooth on your Bluetooth device (Smart Device)
and set the device in pairing mode. Available Bluetooth
connections shall appear. Select the ECOXGEAR speaker
from the list of discovered devices on your Bluetooth
device. Wait for a few seconds until the connection is
completed.

NOTE: Bluetooth connection feature is found in the
Settings section of most mobile phones and other
Bluetooth enabled devices.

When the ECOXGEAR selection is made and the
Bluetooth connection is completed, your EcoCarbon will
announce: “Bluetooth connected”

Once connected, select and play your desired audio.
PAIRING MODE: If the LED is not flashing or if you wish to

place your EcoCarbon in pairing mode, press and release
the Bluetooth button on the top panel. Your EcoCarbon
shall announce “pairing ready” when ready to pair to a new
device.

NOTE: Your EcoCarbon shall sync & wirelessly pair with
most Bluetooth enabled devices. The unit remembers
the last device paired and will automatically search for
previous connections when the speaker is turned on or
when a device comes back into Bluetooth range. If a
connection is lost due to range, the speaker will look to
re-establish that connection. If Bluetooth is turned off on
your Smart Device, the EcoCarbon may not automatically
look for the device.

RECOMMENDATION: If you are not familiar with
Bluetooth pairing for your Smartphone or other Smart
Device, refer to the User Guide for your Smartphone to
learn how to add and pair a new device (EcoCarbon for
instance) to your Smartphone using Bluetooth.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING & CONNECTIONS: Once paired,
should you have an issue switching between Bluetooth
connections between devices, open the Bluetooth Section
within the device currently connected to the EcoCarbon
and delete the Bluetooth connection. The EcoCarbon
will then be available to pair & connect to an alternate
Bluetooth enabled Smartphone / Audio Device.
