2. USING THE SPEAKER
2.1. Positioning the speaker
Indoors, the sound quality of the Hercules wireless speaker will vary according to its
placement in the room.
If you will be moving the speaker from room to room indoors, please keep the following
points in mind:
•To obtain the best possible sound, place the speaker on a shelf, a piece of furniture, a
desk or any other flat surface at a height of between 70 and 120 cm from the floor.
•You should ideally position the speaker near a wall, to enhance the bass response.
The further you position your speaker from the wall, the lower the bass level will be.
•When in operation, you should always position the speaker on its base: any other
position will result in reduced sound quality.
•Do not place the speaker in a narrow, enclosed space, as doing so will result in
reduced sound quality.
Outdoors, sound dispersion is greater and will result in reduced sound quality. To mitigate
the sound dispersion, place the speaker close to you.
2.2. Pairing a Bluetooth® device
"Pairing" means connecting a smartphone or a Bluetooth® device to your speaker, in order
to establish a communication. When two devices are paired, the relevant information is
stored in both devices' memory. Once a device has been paired with the speaker, it doesn't
need to be paired again.
The speaker can store information about up to 8 devices.
Step 1: Turn the speaker on, if you haven't already done so.
The Bluetooth® pairing indicator light should flash quickly. This means that the speaker is
in pairing mode.
If the pairing indicator light doesn’t flash, please refer to section 3, further in this manual.

Step 2:
Open your device's Bluetooth® management feature. If using an iOS device, select
Settings / General / Bluetooth®.
Activate your device's Bluetooth® feature and wait for the speaker to appear in the list of
detected devices.
Locate the BTP02 speaker (named “WAE-BTP02” in the list), then tap on it to connect to it.
After a short wait, the connection is set up; the device should now appear as Connected in
your device's Bluetooth® management feature.
2.3. WAE application
An application is provided with your speaker, and can be downloaded from the App Store.
When connecting an iOS device to the speaker for the first time, a notification appears on
the screen, inviting you to download the application. If you select Yes, you will be
redirected to the App Store, where you can download the application.

2.5. Connecting another music source
You can connect any other music source to your speaker: for example, an iPod, other type
of MP3 player or a mobile phone. To do so:
1- Connect one end of a male mini-jack (3.5 mm) cable (not included) to the
auxiliary input connector (9), and connect the other end of the cable to the audio
output on your music source.
2- Set your external music source to the maximum volume, and use the volume
buttons on the speaker to adjust the sound level.
Note: To revert to the Bluetooth® mode, simply disconnect the mini-jack cable.
2.6. Recharging the battery
Your speaker is equipped with a rechargeable battery. We strongly recommend that you
completely discharge the battery when using the speaker for the first time. To do so, leave
the speaker powered on (with the sound active or not) until the speaker completely runs
out of power.
To recharge the battery: connect the power supply to its connector on the speaker (7), and
then plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.
The battery charge level indicator (5)lights up while the battery is charging, and turns off
when the battery is fully charged.
