Intended Usage
The Acoustix is a waterproof and shock-resistant, rechargeable bluetooth speaker with optional FM and auxiliary
inputs. It is designed to interface with most modern bluetooth-equipped phones, tablets and other blue-
tooth-capable personal electronics. An auxiliary input jack makes it possible to connect a cable to the head-
phone jack of almost any electronic device, including bluetooth and non-bluetooth equipped devices such as
cassette tape players or portable CD players. Additionally Acoustix provides FM-radio functionality.

Turn on the unit by pressing and holding the power button for several seconds. Note: Acoustix always powers

For Acoustix to work with your bluetooth-capable smartphone or other device, your device must rst be paired

tooth device. The blue LED will blink every 10 seconds to conrm bluetooth connection.
During initial pairing, your smart phone may display a screen asking if you want to allow Acoustix to access
your contacts. If you grant this permission, incoming phone calls will display the name of the caller if it is in your
device’s address book. If you do now allow this, or if your device does not support this feature, or if the caller’s
number is not in your address book, the incoming caller’s phone number will be shown on the Acoustix display.
Use your desired music app on your device to play audio through Acoustix.
Press the play-pause button to pause your music, use the volume-up and volume-down buttons to
