Pairing your speaker with two playback devices
Your speaker can support two playback devices at the same time.
1. Follow step one of how to pair your Bluetooth device (to be known as playback device 1)
to the speaker.
2. Press and hold the play/pause button for two seconds to disconnect the Bluetooth
connection. The speaker will memorize the mac address playback device 1.
3. Follow step one of how to pair your Bluetooth device (to be known as playback device 2)
to your speaker.

Please note: only one device can play audio at a time. You cannot send music from both devices
to the speaker at once. You will need to pause one player if you want to play music from the
other.
Notes
Your speaker will power off automatically within 15 minutes if you do not pair any devices with it
to save power. You will need to power the speaker on again to use it.
If your speaker has paired with over 8 devices, there will be 2 or more seconds delay for
scanning and pairing with new playback devices. This is due to your speaker needing to scan the
previously paired devices first to repair with them automatically.
Simply hold the previous track and next track buttons down together for 3 seconds to clean all
of the devices stored in memory and resume default settings.
