Connecting the player to an unpaired Android smartphone for the first time
If you connect the player to an Android smartphone, you can listen to music on the smartphone. Before you use the player with an Android smartphone, pair the player and the smartphone. This registration is called “pairing”. After you pair the player and the Android smartphone for the first time, the player and the smartphone will store pairing information for each other. You can easily connect the player to the Android smartphone after the first time.
- Remove the player from the charging case to turn the player on.

If the player does not have any pairing information, pairing will start automatically.
- Turn on the Bluetooth function on the smartphone.
- Tap the model name of the player.
Depending on the smartphone that you are using, the search may start automatically.
If passkey input is required, enter “0000”. The passkey may also be called a “pass code”, “PIN code”, “PIN number”, or “password”.
Make sure that the player and the smartphone are paired to each other. When the connection is established, the lamp (
) flashes for 5 seconds.
Hint
- If the smartphone has an NFC function, you can pair and connect the devices by touching them together.
Note
- Once you have successfully completed pairing, you do not have to pair the devices again for future connections between them.
