EXOS-9
Quick Start Guide
v:16.1

THANK YOU.
We’ve resurrected the iconic Aiwa brand in the
passionate pursuit of bringing people together around
music. We do this with a simple formula; creating
amazing speakers that deliver the music you love, the
way it was meant to be heard.
We’re thrilled that you’ve chosen the Exos-9 to enhance
your listening experience. Welcome to the Aiwa family.
1

GETTING STARTED - BATTERY
Setting up your Exos-9 couldn’t be easier. First, install the
battery pack.
2
There is a small latch on the bottom of the unit that
keeps the battery in place. When installing the battery,
insert the tabs on the left rst, and push the battery in
until the latch clicks. To remove the battery, pull the
catch on the latch outward.

GETTING STARTED - PAIRING
Connect the power cord to the back of the Exos-9 and turn
the power on using the switch, located in the rear near the
power cord. The screen will illuminate. Now you’re ready to
listen!
The Exos-9 is always available to pair - in other words, there is
no need for“pairing mode.” Just turn it on and search for it on
your smartphone or other Bluetooth-capable device, or
simply tap your phone to the NFC touch-point on top of
the speaker.
The Exos-9 will remember the last 8 devices paired, and will
automatically connect when in range and powered on.

Note: The LINK button is only for
connecting two Exos-9 speakers in
mirror or stereo mode. Since it’s
always in “pairing” mode, there is
no need for an extra button to
connect to your device.

GETTING STARTED - PAIRING
Make sure Bluetooth is active on your device. If your device
supports NFC pairing, touch it to the NFC icon in the circle on
top of the device, just to the right of the button panel.
Otherwise, search for nearby Bluetooth devices. The speaker
will appear as “Aiwa Exos-9.”

GETTING STARTED - AUX-IN
The Exos-9 will automatically switch to Auxiliary input
when you connect a device using the included 3.5mm cable.
However, this may be overridden if there is an active
Bluetooth connection.
The screen will show “AUX IN”when this input is active.
If it doesn’t switch to the correct input automatically,
hold the play/pause button on the speaker to switch
inputs manually.
5

GETTING STARTED - PLACEMENT
The Exos-9 will go anywhere you want great sound, but
if you’re looking for a more permanent spot to place the
speaker, there are a couple things to keep in mind. Speakers
with deep bass extension like the Exos-9 are aected by how
close they are to the wall. Bass can be boosted if the back
of the speaker is within a few feet of the wall, but if it’s too
close to the wall the bass may be dulled. If you would like to
improve bass response, try moving the speaker, or adjust the
bass using the equalizer.

AUXILIARY INPUT
Almost anything headphones can plug into can play through the
Exos-9. MP3 players, CD players, radios, computers, televisions,
phones, etc. can be connected with the included 3.5mm audio
cable.

BATTERY LIFE
The Exos-9 battery lasts for approximately 10 hours playing at
moderate volume. Battery life varies with volume - as with all
speakers, battery life decreases at a very high volumes.
To get more play time at very high volumes, use the Battery
Save Mode. It targets and reduces audio frequencies that use
the most power, and can increase battery life by up to 100%.
The screen turns o after 15 seconds of inactivity in order to
save battery life. Press any button to light it up again.

CHARGING / POWER
To charge the battery, connect the Exos-9 to AC power using the
included power cord. The screen shows the charge level.
If you have a spare or extended battery, you can charge it when
the Exos-9 is plugged in. You can swap a depleted battery with a
previously charged one.
After 15 minutes of inactivity, the speaker will enter sleep mode to
save power. While in sleep mode, it will not connect via Bluetooth
or play audio. Connect via NFC or press one of the touch buttons
on top of the speaker to wake it from sleep mode.
