NOTE: 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, turn off Bluetooth on the previously paired device. Then
turn the speaker on and pair it with the new device.
Bluetooth wireless connection tips
• Make sure the Bluetooth capability of your device is turned on.
• For newer smartphone models, the Bluetooth wireless connection works up to a range of
roughly 100 feet (30 meters). For older phones, it works up to 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 solution:
• Find the device named AR SP7 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.

Set your device’s volume for music to 75%. Start playing music
or other audio on your device. Within seconds, the speaker
starts streaming the audio wirelessly via Bluetooth. The lights
on the top of the speaker pulse in time to the music.
To adjust the volume of your audio:
Turn the volume dial on the top of the
speaker or use the volume controls on
your phone.

Adding speakers (stereo mode)
If you have a second SP7 wireless speaker, you can use it together
with this one in stereo mode. To use 2 SP7 speakers together in
stereo mode:
1. Turn on both speakers. (Press and hold
the on/off button on the top of each.)
2. Make sure both speakers are in pairing
mode (not connected to your phone via
Bluetooth). The top of each speaker
should be flashing multi-color light.
3. Give a quick double press to the on/off
button on the top of each speaker to put
them in stereo mode.
4. The speakers beep to signal that stereo mode is ready. The left
speaker (master) flashes red, and the right speaker flashes multi-
color.
Once the speakers are connected with each other, one of the
speakers will try to pair to your phone. Find the AR SP7 in your
phone’s Bluetooth menu and connect to it. Once the speaker says
“Connected,” start playing music on your Bluetooth device and
enjoy!
