Make sure your Bluetooth source
device and the V5BT are both
turned on and the Bluetooth
mode is selected as the source
on your V5BT.
Press the setup button on the
rear of your V5BT (Figure 1) until
the Bluetooth source indicator
blinks amber once every second
(Figure 2). This will place the
V5BT into « discoverable »
mode.
In the Bluetooth control section
of your source device, place the
source device into « discovery »
mode. « Wren Speaker » should
appear on the list of devices that
can be paired.
Pairing occurs when two Bluetooth devices “communicate” with each other and create a
connection. The Wren V5BT can “remember” the last six Bluetooth devices that have
paired with it. For best results, have your Bluetooth source device near your V5BT.
Note: Your V5BT will automatically enter pairing mode the first time you plug it in. The following
directions are for all subsequent pairings. If you are setting up the speaker for the first time, start
with step 3 below.

To play music on your
Wren V5BT, make sure that
Bluetooth is turned on and
the “Wren Speaker” has
been selected on your source
device. Then simply select
your favorite music on your
device and play.
Select “Wren Speaker.” If
your source device asks for a
passkey, enter “0000” (four
zeros) and press “OK.” The
Bluetooth indicator on the
V5BT will blink amber two
times per second when pairing
is in progress (Figure 3).
A message will appear on
your source device to indicate
when pairing is complete,
In addition, the Bluetooth
indicator on the V5BT will go
from blinking amber to solid
white (Figure 4). You are now
ready to play music wirelessly
on your V5BT. Figure 3 • Pairing

As with all Bluetooth pairings with audio devices, the volume control of your
Wren V5BT functions as a “master” volume control. That means that the
volume control on the V5BT governs how loud your music can play. Once you
have set the volume level on the V5BT, the volume control on your source
device allows you to play music ranging from very low to as high as your V5BT
“master” volume setting allows.. For best results, we suggest setting the master
volume control on the V5BT at or near maximum volume. The best way to
determine where to set the volume on the V5BT is to use the following steps:
• Set the volume control on the V5BT at about half of maximum.
• Set the volume control on your source device at or just below maximum.
• Play music that you are familiar with.
• Raise the volume control on the V5BT in small steps until it is as loud as you
think you will want it to play.
• Turn the volume down on your source device. You will find that it goes from
the peak loudness you established all the way down through medium to
soft to inaudible.
• You can now use your source device to play music from very low to as
loud you have set the V5BT to play. This enables you to manage volume
remotely using your source device.

How Does Bluetooth Work?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a small-area networking protocol that
removes the need for user intervention and keeps transmission power
extremely low to save battery power. Because it is ecient and easy to
use, Bluetooth wireless technology has been widely adopted as the most
popular (and familiar) way to enable devices like smartphones, tablets, and
computers to connect to and communicate with other popular devices
like audio headsets and speakers—all without cumbersome wires. The low
power limits the range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (32 feet),
cutting the chances of interference between your computer system and
your portable telephone or television. Even with the low power, Bluetooth
doesn’t require line of sight between communicating devices. The walls in
your house won’t stop a Bluetooth signal. And because Bluetooth operates
by making only one connection to one device at a time, it is free from
interference and “confusion” among various Bluetooth-enabled devices.

To pair additional devices with
your V5BT, simply follow the
instructions under “Pairing with
your V5BT” on pages 6-7.
When the Power button is pressed
to turn the speaker on from Sleep
or Standby mode, the V5BT will
look for the most recently paired
device that was connected to the
speaker. If that device is available,
the V5BT will reconnect to it. If the
last paired device is not available,
the V5BT will continue to search
for the next most recently paired
device. It will connect with the
most recently paired device that
it finds.
When you wish to connect to a
specific paired device, press and
hold the Source button on the
front of the speaker for three (3)
seconds. The Bluetooth indicator
will blink amber two times per
second indicating that the V5BT
is trying to connect to a paired
device. Select “Wren Speaker” on
the source device. The Bluetooth
indicator will change to solid
white when an active connection
is established (Figure 5).
Many households (and many individuals) have multiple Bluetooth-equipped devices that
they use for music. The Wren V5BT can “remember” pairings with up to six dierent
Bluetooth devices, eliminating the need to go through the initial pairing process every
time you switch devices.
