Initial Set Up and Playback

BluWall Direct (BWD) oers you a number of dierent options for music playback from you device,
depending on the type of set-up you want. Each mode will give you a slightly dierent way to enjoy
your music and you can connect up to eight BWD speakers together over Wi-Fi!

If you want you can play dierent songs over dierent speakers in dierent zones of your home and
garden… or how about linking multiple speakers in the park to bring music to your picnic… what
about a festival? You can bring home audio quality sound to a tent-lled eld in the middle of
nowhere!

There are so many options but don’t worry, it’s really simple and we’ll guide you through setting it up.
Firstly choose your playback mode:

*Wi Direct - Allows you to connect your phone directly to BWD speakers over a mobile Wi-Fi
connection. Best for pairing multiple speakers when no home Wi-Fi network is available.
*Cloud Play - Allows BWD to play music stored on the cloud or a local device via a high-speed Wi-Fi
internet connection. Best for pairing multiple speakers over a home Wi-Fi network.
*Bluetooth – Allows you to connect your phone to one BWD speaker wirelessly. Best for quick
connection when only using one speaker. (Note: audio will not be as high quality as when playing over
a Wi-Fi connection).
*USB – Allows wired digital connection for playback from external storage device e.g. ash
drive/external hard drive/HHD etc.
*Aux-in – Allows a wired, analogue connection to any device with a 3.5mm headphone jack e.g. laptop,
PC, television etc.

Step 1: Press and hold the power button (2) for 3 seconds, until the white power indicator light starts to
ash. After a further 5-10 seconds the white light will stop ashing and remain solid white. (Note: If
connecting to multiple speakers it is advised to switch them on one at a time, then connect each in
turn).
Step 2: Go into the Wi-Fi settings screen on your mobile device and switch on Wi-Fi.
Step 3: In your WiFi settings screen, nd the network named ‘OTONE BWD ****’, then select to connect
to your BWD speaker;
