About your Bluetooth Speaker

The Bluetooth speaker allows you to play audio, play sound from video fi les and stream music from Bluetooth capable devices such as your moblie
phone, computer, tablet etc. Its built-in rechargeable battery allows use away from a source of power for up to 16 hours. Your speaker also has a built-in
mircophone so that you may receive a phone call through your speaker whilst your music is paused on your smart phone. The Bluetooth connection can
provide a link for audio up to a distance of approximately ten metres.

Powering your Bluetooth Speaker

You can use your Bluetooth speaker with the mains adaptor connected or
without the mains adaptor once the built-in battery has been fully charged.

of your speaker. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains socket outlet.

3. The Battery charge indicators will light showing that the internal battery
is charging. There are four battery charge indicators which will light
(white) consecutively. As each indicator is lit the next indicator will fl ash
showing that the battery is charging

condition charging may take up to 4 hours. You can charge your speaker
whether it is on or off and regardless of the position of the lock switch.

4. Once fully charged the battery can power your speaker for up to16 hours
depending on the volume level.

5. If you need to use the speaker continually you may keep it connected

• IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting
the speaker to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the speaker
must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the
speaker from the mains completely, the mains adaptor should be removed
from the mains socket outlet completely.

The greatest working life from the built-in battery will be obtained if it is kept
topped up by recharging after each use of the speaker, even if it is only
partially discharged. The battery’s working life will be reduced if the product
is left in a discharged condition for a long period of time.

IMPORTANT: The battery should not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fi re or the like. When the product is no longer required it should
be taken to a suitable recycling centre.

Operating your Bluetooth Speaker

‘Bluetooth pairing’ occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to
establish a connection and communicate with each other.

When a Bluetooth enabled device is in a ‘discoverable’ state other Bluetooth
devices can detect, pair with or connect to it.

Your Bluetooth speaker will fl ash its Bluetooth indicator light when it is
discoverable or when it is trying to connect to a previously paired Bluetooth
device. When a device is paired with and connects to your speaker, the
Bluetooth indicator light will remain lit.

1. Ensure that the Lock switch on the right hand side of the speaker is
set to the unlock (Down) position. The lock function is used to prevent
unintentional operation of the speaker. When the lock switch is activated
(Up) position the speaker will not operate.

2. There are two ways to power on your Bluetooth speaker. Press and release
the Power On / Off button to switch on the speaker. Alternatively the
speaker can be powered on via NFC (see page 10 for further details).

speaker will show that it is ‘discoverable’ by fl ashing the indicator.

for ‘discoverable’ devices. After a few seconds, you should see a device
