Initial Bluetooth Connection and Playing Audio
1. When first powered ON the unit defaults to Bluetooth mode. A voice will say, “Bluetooth,” and the LED indicator
will quickly flash blue. When pairing, remain within 3 feet of the Bluetooth device.
2. Using the controls on your Bluetooth device, select ITBSW241 in the Bluetooth Settings Menu to pair. If need
be, refer to the user’s manual for your specific device for more information.
3. When successfully paired, a voice will announce, “Bluetooth is connected,” and the LED indicator will turn solid
blue. Audio from the connected Bluetooth device will now be heard through the speaker.
4. Use the controls on the connected Bluetooth device to select and play audio. Use the speaker controls or the
connected Bluetooth device to play, pause, and adjust the volume level.
5. After initial pairing, anytime the speaker powers ON it will automatically connect to the last Bluetooth device
used. Note: If your device should become unpaired or you find it is unable to connect, press and hold the Play
button (on remote), or Pair button (sound bar) to enter to Pairing Mode. A voice will announce, “Bluetooth is
connecting,” and you can connect to the speaker manually.
Note: This sound bar has a last-function-used memory; it will resume using the last mode before it was turned OFF
after it is turned ON again.
Troubleshooting
If the sound bar should become unpaired or will not connect normally, follow these steps in your device’s
Bluetooth Settings Menu.
• Delete the sound bar (“Forget This Device”).
• Turn Bluetooth OFF, then ON again, and repeat the Initial Bluetooth Connection steps.
Connecting Devices
Aux In

Learn Feature
What Is the Learn Feature?
The Learn feature captures remote commands from your television remote, and teaches your soundbar to operate
when these commands are pressed. Power, volume and mute are a few examples of commands that the bar speaker
can learn.
Why Use the Learn Feature?
Teaching the bar speaker remote commands will reduce the number of remotes needed, save time searching for
remote codes, and improve the ease of operation.
Note: Not all functions of the sound bar will be available through your own remote control, such as bass and treble.
Use the included remote for these functions. While your ITBSW241 sound bar is able to learn most IR protocols, not all can
be programmed.
Using the Learn Feature
1. With the power Off, press the Learn/Pair button on the unit. An indicator will flicker red.
2. Press the button you desire to be learned on the included remote.
For example: Volume +
3. The red light will continue to flicker, and another indicator will display a blue light.
4. Press the corresponding button on your remote.
5. The red light will continue to flicker, and another indicator will display a green light.
6. When the green light turns off, the button command is saved.
7. The programmed button on your remote will now be able to control your sound bar.
Note: It is necessary to program each button i.e. channel and volume + and - separately.
8. To start over, press and hold the Learn/Pair button for 5 seconds. If the sound bar has failed to learn a
command, the orange light will flicker, and another indicator will display a blue light. Please try again with a
different remote.
