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.

short double-press to the POWER/PAIR button. The speaker gives a signal

and connecting to your smartphone. The POWER/PAIR

button 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”.

To adjust the volume of your audio: Use the volume
controls on your phone or the VOLUME – and VOLUME +
buttons on top of the speaker.

enhances the lower frequencies in your music. Bass Boost
is turned on by default. Press the EQ button on the top of
the speaker to toggle Bass Boost on and o.

Set your device’s volume for
music to 75%.

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.
