Setting Up Bluetooth Wireless
Pairing
The Bluetooth-enabled device that you wish to stream audio to
your Survival Skybox must first be paired to the Survival Skybox.
The process is simple, and in most cases the pairing process needs
to be done only once.
To pair your Bluetooth-enabled device with the Survival Skybox:
1. Make sure your mobile phone’s Bluetooth is turned on. See the
wireless and/or network settings menu on your phone to check.
