Charging the unit
This unit operates on a built-in Lithium-ion battery that can be recharged
either using the USB charging port or from a USB power adaptor (not
included) with a rated output of DC 5V, 1000mA.
The rst time using your H200 speaker, connect it to DC (mains) power
and fully charge the battery. When the battery is in charging mode, the
battery charging indicator light will be in solid red. After the battery is
fully charged, the red battery charging indicator will turn off.
Note:
You can begin using the speaker while charging. Please be aware that
in this case make sure the USB power source can provide 5V 1A of
electrical current. If not, it may damage the USB power source.
1. Connect the (supplied) micro USB plug to the micro USB charging
port on the left hand side of the unit.
2. Connect the (supplied) standard USB plug end of the cable to a
power USB port on a computer or other USB charging device. When
the battery is charging, the battery indicator light will be solid red. If
the indicator light fades away this indicates that the battery is fully

Pairing and connecting a device to the speaker
Pairing and playing your Bluetooth device for the rst time
You need to pair your Bluetooth device with your H200 before you
can auto-link to play/stream Bluetooth music through your Bluetooth
speaker. Paring creates a `bond' so the two devices can recognize each
other.
1. Turn on the speaker. The Bluetooth status indicator ( ) on the
speaker will ash a fast blue to show the speaker is discoverable.
2. Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device's user
manual to link to the speaker. Locate the Bluetooth device list and
select the device named ‘H200’. With some mobile devices (which
are equipped with earlier versions than BT2.1 Bluetooth device), you
may need to input the pass code “0000”.
3. Once connected, there will be a confirmation tone sound and the
Bluetooth icon will turn a solid blue. You can simply select and play
any music from your source device. Volume control can be adjusted
from your source device, or directly on H200. (Note: If the maximum
volume of the speaker has been reached, the indicator for ‘MAX
VOL.’ marked on the front panel will stay solid red for 2 seconds.)

4. Use the controls on your device to play/pause and navigate tracks.
Note:
1. If 2 Bluetooth devices are pairing for the rst time, both will search for
the H200, it will show its available on both devices. However, if one
device links with the speaker rst, then the other Bluetooth device will
not nd the speaker on its list.
2. If you take your source device out of range, the connection will
be temporarily disconnected to your speaker. Your speaker will
automatically reconnect if the source device is brought back in
range within 1 minute. Otherwise you need to manually reconnect
your device again to the speaker. Be aware that during the period of
disconnection, no other Bluetooth device can pair or link with your
speaker.
3. If ‘H200’ shows in your Bluetooth device list but your device cannot
connect with it, please delete the H200 item from your list and pair
the device with the speaker again following the steps described
previously.
4. Bluetooth/NFC connectivity performance may vary depending on
the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth
capabilities of your device before connecting to your speaker. All
features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth/NFC
devices.
5. The effective operation range between the system and the paired
device is approximately 10 meters (30 feet).
6. Any obstacles between the system and the device can reduce the
operational range.

Pairing additional devices
Before pairing another device to the speaker, you need to make the
speaker discoverable.
1. Press and release the Bluetooth button to disconnect from your
Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth status indicator ( ) blinks a fast
ashing blue.
2. Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device's user
manual to link to the speaker. Locate the Bluetooth device list and
select the device named ‘H200’. With some mobile devices which are
equipped with earlier versions than BT2.1 Bluetooth device, you may
need to input the pass code “0000”.
3. Once connected, there will be a confirmation tone sound and the
Bluetooth icon will remain in solid blue. You can simply select and
play any music from your source device.
Speaker memory and reconnecting a device
The H200 can memorize up to 2 paired devices. When the memory
exceeds this amount, the earliest paired device will be erased from the
speaker. If your Bluetooth device was already paired with the speaker
previously, the unit will memorize your Bluetooth device and will
attempt to reconnect with a device that is in the memory that was last
connected. If the last connected device is not available, the speaker will
be discoverable.
Disconnecting your Bluetooth device
Press and release the Bluetooth button on the H200 to disconnect with
your Bluetooth device or turn off Bluetooth function on your Bluetooth
device to disable the connection. There will be a confirmation tone
