1. Switch TRANSITXS ‘ON’. TRANSITXS comes partially charged and ready to use right out of the
box. Just switch it ‘ON’. If none of the power indicator LEDs comes ‘ON’, plug the TRANSITXS into a USB
Port using the included USB charging cable to charge the integrated battery. No damage will occur to
the speaker or battery if used before full charge.
2. Press and Hold the Option button ‘∞’until TRANSITXS begins emitting the Bluetooth pairing
tone. The charge-level indicator LED lights will also begin flashing, indicating TRANSITXS is in Bluetooth
pairing mode and available to connect with your Bluetooth device. NOTE: While in Bluetooth pairing
mode, TRANSITXS will emit the Bluetooth pairing tone every 3 seconds.
3. On the phone or device you are connecting, access the Bluetooth settings, turn Bluetooth ‘ON’,
then ‘Add’ or ‘Search’ for devices. When TRANSITXS by Soen appears in the device list, select it. If a
passcode is required, enter “0000”. Once TRANSITXS connects, it will produce the double beep to
confirm successful Bluetooth connection and the LEDs will stop flashing. Time to Rock!
For additional Bluetooth set up help, review the instruction manual that came with the device you are
trying to connect.
NOTE: This is a one-time set up for each device you connect to TRANSITXS. To pair TRANSITXS with
another device, repeat the steps above. TRANSITXS will remember upto 8 devices. After pairing more
than 8 devices, the first device will have to be paired with TRANSITXS again in order to connect with
TRANSITXS.
BLUETOOTH AUTO-RECONNECT
For your convenience, TRANSITXS remembers the device that it pairs with, and will attempt to reconnect
(for 15 seconds) to the last connected device every time it is turned ‘ON’.
If your device is out of range or has its Bluetooth feature turned ‘OFF’, TRANSITXS will not be able to
reconnect automatically. If the connected device goes out of range or loses connection with TRANSITXS,
you can easily reconnect by pressing the OPTION ‘∞’button.
