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: “Hi. I’m a phone.”
The two devices get to
know each other.
The two devices do
something together (like
play music).
This guide takes you
through the steps to get
started.
CONNECTING:
“Hi. I’m a
speaker.”

Note: Even though this speaker comes from the
factory charged, it’s a good idea to recharge
it fully before using it for an extended period
of time. See page 7 for info on recharging the
speaker.
Notes:
Make sure the Status light on the front of the speaker is blinking
blue. (If it isn’t, press and hold the Pair button on top of the
speaker until the speaker gives an audio signal.)
If you’ve previously paired a different Bluetooth device with this
speaker, the speaker will automatically attempt to reconnect to
that device when you switch the speaker on. If you want to pair to a
new device, press and hold the Pair button on the speaker until the
speaker gives an audio signal.

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”.
Single-Speaker Setup
Note: Make sure your device’s volume is set to
at least 75%.
