• The Bluetooth wireless feature on your source device is turned on.
Before You Begin Setup
Please Note: A comprehensive user manual is available for download from
wrensound.com/support. It is not included with your Wren V5BT.

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.

To clear the V5BT’s memory
of all paired devices, press and
hold the Setup button on the
rear of your V5BT and, while
holding the Setup button, press
the Power button on the front
control panel. The Volume
indicator will blink amber
two times to indicate that the
memory has been cleared. When
the V5BT is powered on again,
it will be in pairing mode and
ready to pair with a Bluetooth
device (see “Pairing with your
V5BT” on page 6).
Note:After you have cleared your
V5BT’s memory, you must delete
“Wren Speaker” from your source
device’s list of available Bluetooth
devices before you can pair it
with the V5BT again. To delete
a previously paired Wren V5BT
from your source device’s memory,
follow the directions provided by
the manufacturer.

aptX works within Bluetooth to deliver CD-quality audio over a Bluetooth wireless
connection. Simply establish a Bluetooth connection between your aptX-enabled
smartphone or tablet and your V5BT and experience high fidelity wireless audio.
aptX works automatically: If your source device is equipped with aptX, it will
automatically detect an aptX-equipped receiving device (like the Wren V5BT) and
you will enjoy CD-quality sound. If your source device does not have aptX, the V5BT
will default to standard Bluetooth audio.
It is important to note that aptX needs to be supported on both sides of the
Bluetooth connection. To determine if a Bluetooth-enabled device supports aptX,
just look for the aptX logo on the product’s packaging:
For an up-to-date list of devices equipped with aptX, go to the “Support” page on the Wren
website (www.wrensound.com/support), select “V5BT for Bluetooth” from the drop-down
menu, and click on the “aptX Compatibility” button.

Troubleshooting Tips
Problem Possible Solutions
Cannot pair
the speaker
with my
Bluetooth®
device
• Make sure your V5BT is discoverable. Refer to “Pairing with your V5BT”
on page 6.
• Make sure the Bluetooth feature on your device is turned on.
• Your Bluetooth device may be out of range – try moving it closer to
the V5BT.
• Turn the V5BT o and back on.
• Make sure your Bluetooth device supports the A2DP (stereo Bluetooth)
profile.
• Make sure when connecting to a PC or Mac computer that you select
the “Wren Speaker” as the audio output device within the audio settings
menu of the computer. You may need to play an audio track to make the
connection.
Poor sound
quality from
a Bluetooth®
device
• Your Bluetooth device may be out of range. Try moving it closer to the V5BT.
• Make sure your Bluetooth device and/or you V5BT are not positioned near
other devices that generate electromagnetic interference, e.g., cordless
phones, microwave ovens, wireless routers, or other Bluetooth devices.
• Reduce the number of applications running on your Bluetooth device.
Running multiple applications can reduce the amount of internal resources
available to transmit audio. Closing non-essential applications may improve
audio quality.
• Try turning o your device’s Wi-Fi®.
• Try unpairing and then re-pairing your Bluetooth device to your V5BT.
• Turn the V5BT o and back on.
• Clear the memory of your V5BT following step 4 on page 11. The Bluetooth
source indicator on the control panel of your V5BT will blink amber
once every second to indicate that the “discoverable” mode is engaged.
Then re-pair your device following instructions on page 6.
