Portability and your Battery Power Supply
(V3USP only) Your V3US is equipped with a 3-position bass equalization (“EQ”) switch to compensate
for room “boundary eects” on bass output. Room boundaries can change the sound of
a speaker because its bass output is either amplified or diminished depending on how
near the speaker is to the room’s walls, floor or ceiling. A speaker placed a good distance
away from a room’s walls, floor or ceiling will be free from the amplifying eects of these
boundaries. At the opposite end of the spectrum, a speaker placed in a corner on the
floor or up near the ceiling will most likely have overwhelming and unnatural sounding
bass output, assuming that its inherent bass output is powerful enough to begin with, as
is the case with your V3US.
We provide the Bass Adjustment EQ Selector, pictured below, to allow greater flexibility
in room placement of your speaker. If your speaker is a good distance from any room
boundaries, use the left-most setting. If your speaker is near a back wall, use the middle
setting. Finally, if your speaker is in a corner, use the right-most setting.
Of course, bass output is for many people a matter of personal taste. If the bass on your
speaker seems too light for your taste — regardless of room position — you can make it
heavier by moving the setting to the left. If the bass is too heavy — regardless of room
position — you can make it lighter by moving the setting to the right.
The V3USP has a built-in rechargeable battery that lets you unplug completely and take
your music with you — from the dining room, to the game room, to the bedroom, even
out on your deck. You can go just about anyplace up to 100 feet from your home router or
switch to Bluetooth and take your music anywhere.
The battery in the V3USP will provide up to 9 hours of playback. Duration of playback will
vary depending on volume level and type of content being played.
When you disconnect the power supply, the Power Indicator will show the Battery status
as follows:

Powering on your Wren V3US
Press power button.
The power indicator will blink
white until the system is ready.
When the system is ready, the
power indicator will remain white.
Connect power supply to AC outlet.
Connect power cord to power input
on rear of speaker.
The power indicator will flash white
for about 10 seconds, then turn o.
If you are using WiFi to connect
(All wireless connection types except Bluetooth)
If you are using WiFi to connect, please check that the following are true:
• Your source device (smartphone, tablet, PC, etc.) is compatible. (For more
information on compatible devices, visit wrensound.com/support.)
• You know your wireless network (WiFi) name and password.
• Your wireless network is on and functioning properly.
• Your Wren V3US speaker is located in an area with ample WiFi signal strength.
ONCE YOUR V3US IS CONNECTED TO YOUR WIFI NETWORK, REGARDLESS OF HOW
YOU CONNECTED IT, THE V3US WILL EASILY CONNECT WITH ALL OF THE WIFI-
EQUIPPED SOURCE DEVICES THAT ARE ON THE SAME NETWORK AND COMPATIBLE
WITH YOUR V3US provided you have the appropriate app installed. In other words, once
you have used any compatible device to establish a connection between your V3US and
your wireless network, other compatible WiFi source devices on the same network will
recognize your speaker on the network and stream music to that speaker; you will not need
to go through another setup process.

How to find what you need to know to
set up and use your source device
The Wren V3US works with nearly all major smartphone, tablet and PC brands,
each with its own setup method. Chances are, however, that you want to use only one
primary device for streaming music to your V3US. To get started, simply find your device
in the index below and go to the section for connecting your Wren V3US
with that device. You don’t need to read the setup and operating sections that do
not pertain to your device(s).

will stop blinking and remain solid white.
How To Exit WPS Mode
If during the setup process you need
to exit the WPS Setup Mode, press the
Source button once. The speaker will
then return to its previous mode.
Problem connecting? Visit wrensound.com/support for additional help.
Place your router in WPS Mode.
Usually this is done by holding the
router’s WPS button, but check
your router owner’s manual.
Press and hold the setup button on
the rear of the product for three
seconds, then release. The WiFi
indicator will blink amber two times,
then pause every second. The speaker
is now in WPS Mode.
Plug in the Wren V3US speaker near
your router. Wait approximately
10 seconds for the speaker to fully
power on (when the power indicator
light stops blinking).
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is a feature on some WiFi routers that allows the Wren V3US
speaker to automatically and securely connect without needing to enter a password. WPS is
not a standard feature on all routers, and only one Wren V3US speaker can be set up at a time.
Check your router’s owner manual to see if WPS is a feature, or look for a button on your
router marked with the WPS logo . If your router does not have WPS, then use the
method appropriate to your device. (See the Index on page 9 to locate setup instructions
for your device.)
If your router has WPS, use the following instructions.

Make sure your Bluetooth source
device and the V3US are both
turned on and the Bluetooth
mode is selected as the source
on your V3US.
Press the setup button on the
rear of your V3US (Figure 1) until
the Bluetooth source indicator
blinks amber once every second
(Figure 2). This will place the
V3US into “discoverable”
mode.
In the Bluetooth control section
of your source device, place the
source device into “discovery”
mode. V3US15_XXXXXXX 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 V3US can “remember” the last six Bluetooth devices that have
paired with it. For best results, have your Bluetooth source device near your V3US.
Note: Your V3US will automatically enter pairing mode the first time you select Bluetooth as your source.
The following directions are for all subsequent pairings. If you are setting up the speaker for the first time,
start with step 3 below.
Pairing with your V3US
In addition to a variety of WiFi streaming technologies, your V3US is equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology. While we recognize that most V3US customers will
use WiFi, we believe that Bluetooth comes in handy in a number of instances:
Since it does not require a WiFi router, you can stream music using Bluetooth when
you are outside the range of a router (e.g., on the patio) or when you vacation in a
location where WiFi is not available or the available WiFi is encumbered with firewalls
and other security protocols that prevent it’s use or, due to limited bandwidth and
heavy trac (e.g., hotels, work places), WiFi’s quality of service is severely constrained.
Visitors, guests and household members may use devices that are not equipped with
AirPlay or Play-Fi. Nearly all recently developed devices that can store and play music
are quipped with Bluetooth technology. Moreover, those devices equipped with aptX
Bluetooth will enjoy WiFi-like lossless fidelity.

To pair additional devices with your
V3US, simply follow the instructions
under “Pairing with your V3US” on
pages 35-36.
When you switch the source on your
V3US from WiFi or Aux to Bluetooth
or when the Power button is pressed
to turn the speaker on from Sleep
or Standby mode while Bluetooth
has already been selected as the
source, the V3US will look for the
most recently paired device that
was connected to the speaker. If
that device is available, the V3US
will reconnect to it. If the last paired
device is not available, the V3US
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, select
Bluetooth as your source. 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 V3US
is trying to connect to a paired
device. Select V3US on the source
device. The Bluetooth indicator
will change to solid blue 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 V3US 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.

on your source device. Then
simply select your favorite
music on your device and play.
Select V3US15_xxxxxx. If
your source device asks for a
passkey, enter “0000” (four
zeros) and press “OK.” The
Bluetooth indicator on the
V3US 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 V3US will go
from blinking amber to solid
blue (Figure 4). You are now
ready to play music wirelessly
on your V3US.

As with all Bluetooth pairings with audio devices, the volume control of your
Wren V3US functions as a “master” volume control. That means that, when you
are using Bluetooth, the volume control on the V3US governs how loud your
music can play. Once you have set the volume level on the V3US, the volume
control on your source device allows you to play music ranging from very low
to as high as your V3US “master” volume setting allows. For best results, we
suggest setting the master volume control on the V3US at or near maximum
volume. The best way to determine where to set the volume on the V3US is to
use the following steps:
• Set the volume control on the V3US 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 V3US 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 V3US to play. This enables you to manage volume
remotely using your source device.

Problem connecting? Visit wrensound.com/support for additional help.
To clear the V3US’s memory of all
paired devices, press and hold the
Setup button on the rear of your V3US
and, while holding the Setup button,
press the Power button on the control
panel. The Volume indicator will blink
amber two times to indicate that the
memory has been cleared. When
the V3US is powered on again, and
Bluetooth has been selected as the
source, it will be in pairing mode and
ready to pair with a Bluetooth device
(see “Pairing with your V3US” on
pages 35-36).
Note:Clearing the V3US’s memory will
also clear any WiFi connection between
your V3US and your network. To reconnect,
follow the instructions for connecting your
device.
After you have cleared your V3US’s
memory, you must delete the Wren speaker
from your source device’s list of available
Bluetooth devices before you can pair it
with the V3US again. To delete a previously
paired Wren V3US from your source device’s
memory, follow the directions provided by
the device's manufacturer.
