Bose SoundLink MINI BT SP 2 Carbon User manual

What kind of audio sources can I use with the SoundLink Mini Bluetooth®
speaker II?
The speaker is designed specifically for use with today's most popular Bluetooth® devices, such
as smartphones, tablets and laptops. In addition, it includes an auxiliary input for a wired
connection to an MP3 or similar portable player.
How do I control the speaker?
Power and volume controls are located on the speaker itself. Otherwise, use your smartphone or
other paired device to select a playlist, streaming audio source etc. No remote control necessary.
What is the wireless range of the SoundLink Mini speaker II?
On average, the speaker will work within 9 metres of your paired Bluetooth® device. Walls and
construction materials can affect reception at times.
Can I stream music (Spotify®, Deezer®, etc.) from my computer to the
SoundLink Mini speaker II?
Yes, as long as your computer is enabled for Bluetooth® and is within 9 metres of the speaker.
What happens when my phone is streaming music to the SoundLink Mini
speaker II and a call comes in?
When a call comes in, the music will pause and the call will ring through the speaker. You can
answer the call by pressing the multi-function button and talk into the speaker itself to conduct
your phone call. When you end your call, music playback resumes.
How do I check battery life?
When the speaker is turned on, the battery indicator lights up for 10 seconds, then turns off to
conserve power. To check the charge, press and hold the power button to turn the indicator light
back on. Green = 70% or more charge; yellow = 20–70%; red = less than 20% battery life.
What is the playing/charging time of the battery?
Battery performance varies depending on the content and the volume at which it's played. In
typical usage, a fully charged battery gives you up to 10 hours. The battery will fully charge in
four hours using the included cradle or wall charger, possibly longer with some USB sources or
while playing music.
What purpose do the voice prompts on the SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth®
speaker II serve?

The voice prompts serve two key purposes. First, they provide guidance during the Bluetooth®
pairing and connection process so the customer understands how it works. Second, they identify
the connected source devices by name, simplifying usage with more than one source device.
Can I use the SoundLink Mini speaker II as part of my home wireless network?
No, the SoundLink Mini speaker II works only with the Bluetooth® wireless protocol.
Can the SoundLink Mini speaker II be used to provide audio for video, such as
for watching a film on a tablet?
Yes. However, the quality of the experience—specifically, synchronisation between audio and
video—can be influenced by the Bluetooth® implementation on the viewing device. You will
get the best performance by keeping the SoundLink Mini speaker II and the device in close
proximity, which minimises wireless interference. Use of Wi-Fi® in the area may also affect
performance.
