Getting to know Bluetooth
Bluetooth wireless is a quick and easy way to connect a smartphone to a speaker
or a headset. There are basically two steps to making Bluetooth work.
PAIRING: “Hi. I’m a phone.”
The two devices get to know each other.
The two devices do something together
(like play music).
This guide takes you through the steps to
get started.
CONNECTING:
“Hi. I’m a
speaker.”
Unpack
Make sure the following items came in this package.
• Wireless speaker • AC power adapter • 3.5mm Aux in cable
Speaker back
Charge the Speaker
The speaker’s built-in rechargeable battery comes from the factory with a
charge, so you can start using the speaker as soon as you get it out of the box.
For best performance, however, we recommend you charge the speaker fully
before using it.
To charge the speaker: Plug the included AC
cable into the DC In jack on the back of the
speaker.
Plug the other end of the adapter into a power
outlet.
The Battery indicator next to the DC In jack is
red while the speaker is charging. It turns green
when the speaker is fully charged.
Note: You can use the speaker while it’s
charging.

Bluetooth Wireless Connection Tips
• Make sure the Bluetooth capability of your device is turned on.
• Make sure there’s nothing plugged into the speaker’s Aux In jack when
you’re trying to use Bluetooth.
• The Bluetooth wireless connection works up to a range of roughly 33 feet
(10 meters). This range may vary, however, based on other factors, such as
room layout, wall material, obstacles, your device’s Bluetooth performance,
etc. If you’re having problems connecting to the speaker, move closer to it.
• If your device asks you for a password to connect, use “0000”.
Single-Speaker Setup
Note: Make sure your Bluetooth device is set to
at least 75% volume.
How to turn audio responses on and off
This speaker gives you audio responses for common commands—like when
you are starting to pairing with a Bluetooth device or have just finished
connecting.
Turn off all audio responses: Make sure the speaker is on. Press and hold
the Volume + and – simultaneously for 5 seconds.
If you want to turn the speaker’s audio responses back on, simply repeat the
steps for turning them off (press and hold Volume + and – for 5 seconds).

Make sure the button on the top of the left
speaker is blinking white. (If it isn’t, press and
hold the (Pair) button on the top of the left
speaker until the speaker gives an audio signal.)

Using the Aux In input
Use the audio cable included with this speaker to connect the
audio output from your device to the Aux In audio input on the
speaker’s back panel (you might need to open the rubber flap
protecting the jack). The speaker automatically switches to the
Aux In audio.
If you’re using a single speaker, the button turns white you’re
using the Aux In input. If you’re using two, the button turns
blue, and the stereo link with the other speaker is turned off
while you’re using the Aux In input.
To listen to Bluetooth audio again, unplug the cable from the
speaker’s Aux In jack.
IMPORTANT: The Aux In input plays your music on one speaker only. For
two-speaker stereo, you must use Bluetooth with two speakers linked for
stereo playback.
