especially Bluetooth phones and speakers.
Parrot is drawing on the benefit of many years of experience with Bluetooth technology to offer you a top-quality sound system. You will be able to connect the Parrot BOOMBOX to your
audio player, whether it’s a mobile phone, computer or whatever, via a Bluetooth or Cinch connection.
With this system based on innovative technology, you can listen to your MP3 tracks on your audio player via the Parrot BOOMBOX. You will then be able to choose the tracks you want
to listen to from your audio player.

CONNECTING THE Parrot BOOMBOX TO AN AUDIO PLAYER
USING SEVERAL BLUETOOTH AUDIO PLAYERS
An audio player is the device you use to store your MP3 music files and start playing these
files. An audio player can therefore be a mobile phone, PC, etc. However, the relevant
audio player must be equipped with Cinch connectors or a Bluetooth A2DP profile. For
more information, visit our website at www.parrot.com
USING AN AUDIO PLAYER VIA BLUETOOTH
If you are using a Bluetooth-enabled audio player with your Parrot BOOMBOX you must
first of all pair the two devices. This phase allows the two devices to exchange data in
order to establish a connection
The Parrot BOOMBOX can be used with several audio players.
But if one of these audio players is streaming audio from music files the other devices will
not be able to play music via the Parrot BOOMBOX at the same time.
NB: Several audio players are using particular Bluetooth stacks which prevent you to use other
audio players with your Parrot BOOMBOX. This prevents music from being streamed from other
audio players unexpectedly and without authorisation. You must disconnect this device from the
Parrot BOOMBOX beforehand.
NB: Only one device at a time can stream audio from music files via the Parrot BOOMBOX. You
must stop the current streaming in order to stream music from another Bluetooth device.
Pairing with a Bluetooth audio player
For security reasons, you must first of all prepare your Parrot BOOMBOX for pairing.
During this phase, you must physically have access to the device
• Press the Configuration
USING AN AUDIO PLAYER WITH A CINCH AUDIO CABLE
button.
• The Parrot BOOMBOX LED starts flashing: the device is ready to be paired.
• Use your audio player’s Bluetooth menu to search for the peripherals (refer to the
manual for your audio player or to our website at www.parrot.com).
• When the search is complete, select «BOOMBOX».
• You are prompted to enter a PIN. Enter «0000» in your audio player. This is only
applicable if your audio player prompts you to key in a code. If this does not happen,
make sure that your audio player’s default code is «0000». Refer to your audio player’s
manual for more detailed information
You can now use your Parrot BOOMBOX with your Bluetooth audio player. If you want to
stream audio from your music files, refer to the «Audio streaming function» section in this
manual.
If your audio player supports it you can connect it to your Parrot BOOMBOX using an
audio cable with Cinch connectors. The Parrot BOOMBOX actually has a Cinch connector
which you can use to stream music through. This allows you to use a huge range of audio
players.
You simply connect the Cinch audio cable to the specific Parrot BOOMBOX connectors.
Then attach this cable to your audio player. Make sure to check that the connectors are
inserted properly to avoid any disruption.
NB: When you use the Cinch connectors you can stream audio from your music files via Bluetooth
from an audio player. Streaming music via Bluetooth will have priority over the Cinch connection
Parrot BOOMBOX
13
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION STATE
VOLUME CONTROL
The Parrot BOOMBOX does not establish any Bluetooth connection. Any audio streaming
must be initiated from your audio player : your system is operating in low power mode
when it is not being used in order to save energy.
If your audio player has this function, it will allow you to control the volume. This means
that you will be able to control the volume remotely.
If your audio player is a PC running Windows XP you can then use the Parrot Configuration Tool software to adjust the volume settings.
The buttons on top of the Parrot BOOMBOX allow you to control the volume directly from
the device.
AUDIO STREAMING FUNCTION
BLUETOOTH AUDIO STREAMING CONNECTION
Before streaming audio from your music files between your Parrot BOOMBOX and audio
player (via an audio streaming connection), you must have first paired your audio player
with your system. Refer to the «Connecting the Parrot BOOMBOX to an audio player»
section in this manual for more information
• Start playing your music file.
• Your audio player may prompt you to select the device again which the audio
will be streamed to from the music file.
Or
• Select from the Bluetooth menu of your audio player
and connect to your Parrot BOOMBOX.
• Start playing your music file
CONTROLLING THE PLAY FUNCTION
NB: If you are using a PC as a Bluetooth audio player, but there is no sound coming from your
Parrot BOOMBOX, you must specify the audio output of your computer. Make sure that the «Sound
playback» option is set to «High-quality Bluetooth Audio». You can find this option by selecting
Start/Settings/Control panel/Sound and Audio Devices/Audio on your computer. Restart your
multimedia player if needed.
To benefit from the latest procedures for establishing an audio streaming connection for
your audio player, refer to the Support section on our website at www.parrot.com
14
Some audio players allow you to fast forward/rewind your music tracks, as well as pause
them. To check whether your player has these functions, visit the Support section on our
website at www.parrot.com
NB: The use of some of these functions (volume control and remote control) depends solely on
your audio player. Visit the Support section on our website at www.parrot.com to find out more
information.
