Getting to know Bluetooth

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).

This guide takes you through the
steps to get started.

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 the speaker, move closer to it.

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

If you’re having trouble reconnecting, try the following solutions:

• Find the device named “AR Santa Cruz” in the Bluetooth menu on your phone, and remove
(or forget) this device. Then start the pairing process described in this section again to
re-pair and connect.

• With the speaker on, press and hold the Volume – and Volume + buttons for 3 seconds
until the speaker gives an audio signal and turns off. This resets the speaker. Then, remove
“AR Santa Cruz” from your phone’s Bluetooth devices and repeat the pairing process.

Start playing music on your device

Set your device’s volume for music to 50%. Start playing music or other
audio on your device. Within seconds, the speakers start streaming the audio
wirelessly via Bluetooth.

To adjust the volume of your audio: Give a quick press to the speaker’s
Volume + or – button (on the back panel) or use the volume controls on

your phone.

TIP: If you’re playing music via Bluetooth, a quick single-press on the speaker’s
button will pause/play.

Using the Lighting Modes

Lighting Modes button repeatedly to go through the

following modes:

• icker is a bright flame lighting effect

• pulse matches the flame lighting to the beat of

your music

Using the AUX input

Use a mini-jack audio cable (not included) to connect
the audio output from your device to the AUX IN
audio input on the speaker’s back panel (open
the rubber door to access the jack). The speaker
automatically switches to the AUX IN audio. (For
two-speaker setups, plug into the one whose Power/
Pair light is blinking every 5 seconds.)

To listen to Bluetooth audio again, unplug the cable
from the speaker’s AUX IN jack.
