Bluetooth wireless is a quick and easy way to connect a
smartphone to a speaker or a headset. There are basically
two steps to making Bluetooth work.

PAIRING: The two

devices get to know each
other.

CONNECTING: The two

devices do something
together (like play music).

“Hi. I’m a

phone.”

This guide takes you through the steps to get started.

Getting to know Bluetooth

“Hi phone.

I’m a speaker.”

the included AC adapter into
the DC IN jack on the speaker’s
back panel.

Plug the other end of the AC
adapter into an AC outlet or
surge protector.

If you’ve previously paired your phone or other Bluetooth device with this
speaker, the speaker will automatically attempt to reconnect to that device
when you switch the speaker on. If you want to pair to a new device, give a
short double-press to the

button. The speaker gives a signal and the button

starts blinking.

Choose 808 LXS from the pairing options on your
smartphone. (If it’s not in the list, choose “Scan” from your
phone’s Bluetooth menu.)

The speaker gives an audio signal when it’s finished pairing
and connecting to your smartphone. The

button on the top

of the speaker turns solid blue.

Note: The process of enabling Bluetooth and connecting varies from device
to device. See your device’s owners manual for more information and specific
instructions.

Bluetooth Wireless Connection Tips

• Make sure the Bluetooth capability of your device is turned on.

• Make sure there’s nothing plugged into the speaker’s AUX IN jack when
you’re trying to use Bluetooth.

• The Bluetooth wireless connection works up to a range of roughly 33 feet (10
meters). This range may vary, however, based on other factors, such as room
layout, wall material, obstacles, your device’s Bluetooth performance, etc. If you’re
having problems connecting to this speaker, move closer to it.

• If your device asks you for a password to connect, use “0000”.

• If you’ve paired your device with the speaker before but you’re having trouble
reconnecting when you turn the speaker back on, give a short press to the
button while it’s flashing. The speaker will attempt to connect to a previously
paired device.

Press the VOLUME + and –buttons on the top of the
speaker (or use the volume controls on your phone).

Set your device’s volume for music
to 50%.

Note: This is to make sure the sound from the
speaker isn’t too loud when you start streaming.

Start playing music or other audio
on your device. Within seconds, the
speaker starts streaming the audio
wirelessly via Bluetooth.

To adjust the volume of your audio:

the speaker turns solid blue.

To listen to Bluetooth audio again, unplug the cable from
the speaker’s AUX IN jack. The speaker will try to reconnect
to the last Bluetooth device.

Note: The EQ and VOLUME buttons stay lit while the AUX IN jack is in use—
these buttons work with an AUX IN source. The TRACK and PLAY/PAUSE
buttons do not work while the AUX IN jack is in use, so they are not lit.

Using the Speakerphone

This speaker has a built-in
microphone, so you can use
it for phone calls as well as
music. Your phone will ring
through the speaker when
you’re receiving a call.

To answer/end the call: Press
the

button on top of the speaker. The button lights

when you’re on the call.

Note: Make sure you’re close enough to the speaker’s built-in microphone so
that the other person can hear you!

IMPORTANT: Not all phones support playback control and phone answer/end
control. Check your phone’s user manual for more information if you’re having
trouble with these functions.
