Charging the unit

This unit operates on a built-in Lithium-ion battery that can be recharged either using the
USB charging port or from a USB power adaptor (not included) with a rated output of DC
5V, 1000mA.

The rst time using your H200 speaker, connect it to DC (mains) power and fully charge

the battery. When the battery is in charging mode, the battery charging indicator light will
be in solid red. After the battery is fully charged, the red battery charging indicator will
turn off.

Note:

You can begin using the speaker while charging. Please be aware that in this case make
sure the USB power source can provide 5V 1A of electrical current. If not, it may damage
the USB power source.

1. Connect the (supplied) micro USB plug to the micro USB charging port on the left
hand side of the unit.

2. Connect the (supplied) standard USB plug end of the cable to a power USB port on
a computer or other USB charging device. When the battery is charging, the battery
indicator light will be solid red. If the indicator light fades away this indicates that the
battery is fully charged and battery charging will be stopped.

Power on the speaker

There are two ways to power on your speaker.

● You can press and hold the Power button to turn on the speaker.

● In addition, the speaker can be powered on via NFC: Turn on the NFC feature on
your NFC-enabled device > Hold your NFC-enabled device directly against the
H200’s NFC tag for 2 seconds. Once the speaker is powered on successfully, the
speaker will make a sound to conrm the power is on.

Note:

Some devices may ask for conrmation from the user.

Pairing and connecting a device to the speaker

Pairing and playing your Bluetooth device for the rst time

You need to pair your Bluetooth device with your H200 before you can auto-link to play/

stream Bluetooth music through your Bluetooth speaker. Paring creates a `bond' so the
two devices can recognize each other.

1. Turn on the speaker. The Bluetooth status indicator ( ) on the speaker will ash a
fast blue to show the speaker is discoverable.

2. Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device's user manual to link to the

speaker. Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device named ‘H200’. With

some mobile devices (which are equipped with earlier versions than BT2.1 Bluetooth
device), you may need to input the pass code “0000”.

3. Once connected, there will be a conrmation tone sound and the Bluetooth icon will
turn a solid blue. You can simply select and play any music from your source device.

Volume control can be adjusted from your source device, or directly on H200. (

Note:

If the maximum volume of the speaker has been reached, the indicator for ‘MAX

VOL.’ marked on the front panel will stay solid red for 2 seconds.)

4. Use the controls on your device to play/pause and navigate tracks.

Note:

1. If 2 Bluetooth devices are pairing for the rst time, both will search for the H200, it will
show its available on both devices. However, if one device links with the speaker rst,
then the other Bluetooth device will not nd the speaker on its list.

2. If you take your source device out of range, the connection will be temporarily
disconnected to your speaker. Your speaker will automatically reconnect if the source
device is brought back in range within 1 minute. Otherwise you need to manually
reconnect your device again to the speaker. Be aware that during the period of
disconnection, no other Bluetooth device can pair or link with your speaker.

3. If ‘H200’ shows in your Bluetooth device list but your device cannot connect with it,

please delete the H200 item from your list and pair the device with the speaker again

following the steps described previously.

4. Bluetooth/NFC connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected
Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before
connecting to your speaker. All features may not be supported on some paired
Bluetooth/NFC devices.

5. The effective operation range between the system and the paired device is
approximately 10 meters (30 feet).

6. Any obstacles between the system and the device can reduce the operational range.

Pairing additional devices

Before pairing another device to the speaker, you need to make the speaker
discoverable.

1. Press and release the Bluetooth button to disconnect from your Bluetooth device.

The Bluetooth status indicator ( ) blinks a fast ashing blue.

2. Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device's user manual to link to the

speaker. Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device named ‘H200’. With

some mobile devices which are equipped with earlier versions than BT2.1 Bluetooth
device, you may need to input the pass code “0000”.

3. Once connected, there will be a conrmation tone sound and the Bluetooth icon will
remain in solid blue. You can simply select and play any music from your source
device.

Speaker memory and reconnecting a device

The H200 can memorize up to 2 paired devices. When the memory exceeds this

amount, the earliest paired device will be erased from the speaker. If your Bluetooth
device was already paired with the speaker previously, the unit will memorize your
Bluetooth device and will attempt to reconnect with a device that is in the memory that
was last connected. If the last connected device is not available, the speaker will be
discoverable.

Disconnecting your Bluetooth device

Press and release the Bluetooth button on the H200 to disconnect with your Bluetooth

device or turn off Bluetooth function on your Bluetooth device to disable the connection.

There will be a conrmation tone sound and the Bluetooth status indicator ( ) on the
speaker will ash a fast blue to show the speaker is discoverable again for pairing.

Pairing and playing your device via NFC

Your speaker is equipped with wireless NFC (Near Field Communication) feature,
allowing NFC-enabled devices to pair and play

the music with your H200. For non-NFC devices, please refer to the above sections for

standard Bluetooth pairing.

1. Turn on the NFC feature on your device.

2.

on your NFC-enabled device. There will be a confirmation tone sound and the

Bluetooth icon will illuminate in solid blue. (Important: Please make sure the screen of

your playing device is on and unlocked to allow NFC to work.)

3. Use the controls on your device to play/pause and navigate tracks.

Note:

1. If you would like to link another Bluetooth device for the rst time via NFC, disconnect
the existing linked Bluetooth device rst.

2. The location of the NFC detection area is not the same on all devices. When
connecting with other Bluetooth devices via NFC, refer to the user guide of the device
for more information and location of the NFC detection area.

3. Some metallic cases or covers for mobile phones may reduce the sensitivity of NFC.
Make sure you remove it before activating the NFC function.

Touch the NFC area of your playing device directly
against the NFC tag marked on the front panel

of your H200. The speaker will automatically be

switched on and connect your NFC-enabled device.

(If you pair with the H200 for the rst time, some

NFC-enabled device will be asked permission to
link with the speaker). Once paired with a device,

‘Connecting H200…’ or a similar message is shown

8

Disconnecting your NFC-enabled device

To disconnect your device, simply touch your device directly against the speaker’s tag

again on the front panel. There will be a confirmation tone sound and the Bluetooth
status indicator ( ) on the speaker will flash a fast blue to show the speaker is
discoverable.

Playing music via auxiliary input socket

A 3.5mm Auxiliary input socket is provided on the left hand side of the unit to permit an
audio signal to be fed into the unit from any devices that features a headphone or audio
output, such as an iPod, MP3 or CD player.

1. Connect a stereo or mono audio source (for example,
iPod, MP3 or CD player) to the Auxiliary input socket.

2. Adjust the Volume control on your iPod, MP3 or
CD player to ensure you have an adequate signal
and then adjust the volume on the speaker to your
preferred listening level.

Note:

When the Aux in socket is connected to an audio device
the Bluetooth function will be disabled to minimize power
consumption.
