App Store™ or Google Play Store™.
Note that this app is designed for mobile devices only, such as smartphones or Wi-Fi
enabled tablets. It is not available for use on regular desktop or laptop computers.
Initial Setup & Connecting To Wi-Fi
Before use, the speaker and your phone or tablet must connect to the Wi-Fi network

to Wi-Fi, tap the WPS/Pair button on the speaker and try again. If you are still
having trouble, see the next section on Alternative Wi-Fi Setup (pg.12).
