Getting Started
Placing Clio in Your Home or Office
Place Clio on a hard, uncarpeted surface to ensure there is air space
below the speaker and that the vent hole and mesh at the bottom
are not obstructed. Placement on a cloth or carpeted surface may
diminish low frequency sound performance. Clio may get warm
during use. Do not place Clio on surfaces that are sensitive to heat.
Place Clio on its two rubber feet and never lay it on its side.
Clio will produce clear, crisp, high-quality sound no matter where
it is placed in a room. As with all speaker systems, the bass
response will be best when the product is placed near a wall.
Because Clio generates sound from both sides of its acrylic glass
membrane, you may place it in the middle of a room and enjoy
panoramic sound-a benefit not offered by conventional speakers.
Powering Up Clio
First, plug the connector of the power supply into the DC jack
at the back side of the speaker. Then plug the provided power
11

cord into the power supply and to an electrical outlet. Clio will
turn on automatically and the status light will be blinking blue.
Note: Clio has no on/off switch and is constantly ready to be used.
It nas an automatic energy-saving standby mode that engages
'Jv·hen the unit has not received an audio signal or button push
for 20 minutes. Upon going into standby Clio will automatically
jisconnect any device connected by Bluetooth. To disconnect Clio
from the AC power adapter, disconnect the power supply from
the AC power outlet and from the power supply jack of Clio.
Playing Audio Wirelessly with Bluetooth Devices
In order to play music via a wireless connection, Clio needs to be
paired with a Bluetooth device such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Pairing is a one-time event that teaches Clio how to communicate
with your Bluetooth device. After a device is paired to Clio a record
of this connection is stored for future use. Clio can pair with as many
as 16 Bluetooth devices. In accordance with the Bluetooth standard,
Clio can only connect to and play audio from one device at a time.
12

First-Time Bluetooth Pairing
After connecting Clio to a power source for the first
time, the speaker will be in Bluetooth pairing mode and
the status light on the front of Clio will blink blue.
1. Go to the "settings" menu on your Bluetooth device and turn
Bluetooth to "On" or "Discover".
2. Locate the list of available Bluetooth connections on your device.
"Clio xy" will appear on your device as an option. For many devices
it will also indicate "Clio xy" as "not paired." "xy" will be a 2-digit
combination of letters and numbers that allows you to distinguish
between multiple Clio units. Select "Clio" from the list.
3. If
your device asks for a passkey, enter digits 0000 (four zeros) and
press OK. Some devices may also ask you to accept the connection.
4. Once a pairing is established your Clio will play an audible tri-tone
beep, the status light on the front of Clio will stop blinking and turn
to a solid blue. Clio is now paired, connected and ready to use.
Simply start playing audio on your Bluetooth device and enjoy the
sound of your Clio.
13

Note: If you are unable to pair your device or the Bluetooth
connection appears to fail, unplug Clio from power, turn the Bluetooth
function on your device OFF and then ON again, connect Clio to
power and pair again. You will hear the tri-tone signal only on the
initial pairing with any single device, not on subsequent connections.
Pairing Clio with Additional Bluetooth Devices
Push and hold the Source Selection button for at least
3 seconds until the blue status light begins to blink.
This will once again set Clio into pairing mode.
Follow steps 1. through step 4. under "First-Time Bluetooth Pairing"
above, for each Bluetooth device you want to pair with your Clio.
Re-connecting Clio to a Bluetooth Device
When a Bluetooth device moves out of wireless range,
is turned of( or when Clio enters standby-mode, the
Bluetooth connection will be cancelled. There are two
options to connect a previously paired device to Clio:
If Clio is in standby mode (white status light) simply touch any
button. Clio will wake up and automatically connect to a Bluetooth
14

device within range. It will try to connect to the most recently
used device first, then the second most recent and so on.
Alternatively, you can go to the Bluetooth settings on your
device and select Clio from the list of Bluetooth devices. This
will connect your device to Clio. This connection overrides
any prior mode that Clio was in such as standby, mute, wired
connection, or connected to another Bluetooth device.
Switching Between Multiple Bluetooth Devices
If you have a Bluetooth device connected (for example a smartphone)
and wish to change to another device (for example a tablet), simply
go to Bluetooth- Settings on the second device and select Clio
from the list of Bluetooth devices. This will connect Clio to the
second device and disconnect the first device at the same time.
No action on the first device is needed to make it disconnect.
Playing Audio with a Wired Connection
[[}
To switch to a wired connection, push and release the
Source Selection button on the lower right-hand side
of the speaker base. The status light on the front of
Clio will turn red when the unit is in wired mode.
15

Attach the included 3.5 mm cable to a device (such as
a smartphone, tablet, computer or audio device) and
also to the audio jack on the back of Clio. Your wired
connection is complete and your Clio is ready to play.
To
return to Bluetooth mode, push the source button and
the status light on the front of Clio will turn blue.
Setting Up Two Clio Speakers as a Stereo System
You can use two Clio units as separate left and right speakers to create
an even wider panoramic presentation of sound. This setup requires
a special wiring configuration (not included) to split the signal to left
and right channels. You may connect from your audio device directly
or wirelessly. Please see www.CiearViewAudio.com/support and go
to "Setting up Two Clio Speakers in Stereo" for more information.
Volume Control and Mute Function
16
On first time use Clio's default setting is at full volume.
There are two ways to adjust the volume. You can use
your audio source device's volume control or alternatively
use Clio's volume buttons on the right-hand side of the
base. The volume controls on Clio and on your device
work independently of each other. In most cases it is

more convenient to leave the volume setting of Clio at maximum
and control the desired volume from the source device itself.
When using Clio's volume buttons the status light on the front of
Clio will blink to confirm that the volume is being adjusted. There
will be an audible beep when you reach full volume and a soft beep
when reaching the minimum volume setting. Pressing and holding
the UP or DOWN button will change volume in multiple steps.
You can silence Clio by pressing the Mute button
on Clio. If Clio is muted, the front status light will
blink white until any button is pressed.
Standby Mode
Clio will automatically go into an energy-saving standby mode when
the speaker has received no audio source or remains in Mute mode
for 20 minutes or more. This standby mode conserves energy by
switching off the unit's amplifiers. The speaker will re:nain in this mode
until it once again receives a Bluetooth connection request, an audio
signal from a wire, or a button is pushed. The status light on the front
of Clio will appear solid white while the speaker is in standby mode.
