Connect to Power
Place your BryFi transmier in a location where you can easily connect your source material. It is recommended that the transmier
and speakers are within “sight” of one another.
Plug the round connector from the supplied power brick in to the power jack on the back of your BryFi transmier.
Turn On
Press the white power buon. You should see a green LED illuminate.
In approximately 45 seconds you will hear a xylophone start-up sound, followed by a ashing blue LED, indicating that the system is
in hotspot mode and ready to be added to your home WiFi network.
Sync / Pair Speakers
In order for your wireless speakers to receive a signal from the wireless transmier, they need to be synced/paired. is process only
needs to be performed once as all the components will remember each other, even aer disconnecting the power.
On the transmier: Press and hold the white Power/Sync or Sync buon until the green light starts ashing rapidly.
On the rst speaker: Press and hold the white Power/Sync or Standby/Sync buon until the green light is solid. Note that the green
indicator light on the transmier will also now be solid.
Repeat the steps above for the second speaker and conrm that the green indicator light next to the sync buon is solid on the
transmier and both speakers. Your wireless speakers are now ready to use!
Recommendations:
e most reliable wireless signal quality will be achieved by placing the transmier and speakers within “sight” of one another. If you
notice interruptions in the audio signal, try moving the transmier to another location.
