Pairing and connecting with BLUETOOTH devices
Pairing is the process required to mutually register the information on BLUETOOTH devices to be connected wirelessly.
To use multiple BLUETOOTH devices in combination with the speaker, perform the following pairing procedure for each device.
The pairing information of the BLUETOOTH devices is stored on the speaker when the speaker is turned off.
Before operating the speaker, be sure to do the following:
-
Place the BLUETOOTH device within 1 m (3.2 ft) of the speaker.
-
Connect the speaker to an AC outlet via a USB AC adaptor (commercially available). Or charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
-
To avoid any sudden loud sound output from the speaker, turn down the volume of both the BLUETOOTH device and the speaker or stop music playback.
Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, the volume of the device may be synchronized with the speaker volume when music playback starts after a BLUETOOTH connection is established between the BLUETOOTH devices and the speaker.
-
Prepare the operating instructions supplied with the BLUETOOTH device for reference.
- Turn on the speaker.
- Check the status of the
(BLUETOOTH) indicator.When the indicator is double flashing
In the event that the speaker is paired with a BLUETOOTH device for the first time after purchase or in the event after the speaker is initialized (the speaker has no pairing information), the speaker automatically enters pairing mode when it is turned on. Proceed to step
.When the indicator is flashing slowly
The speaker is searching for a BLUETOOTH device.
-
To pair the speaker with a second or subsequent BLUETOOTH device (when the speaker has pairing information of other BLUETOOTH devices), proceed to step
. -
To reconnect the speaker with one of the BLUETOOTH devices that have been paired with the speaker before, proceed to step
. The speaker will automatically be connected just by turning on the BLUETOOTH function on the BLUETOOTH device. Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, the speaker may be reconnected with the device right after it is turned on. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your BLUETOOTH device.
When the indicator stays lit
The speaker has been connected to the BLUETOOTH device.
To connect to other BLUETOOTH devices, follow one of the procedures below.
-
To pair the speaker with a second or subsequent BLUETOOTH device (when the speaker has pairing information of other BLUETOOTH devices), proceed to step
. -
To reconnect the speaker with one of the BLUETOOTH devices that have been paired with the speaker before, proceed to step
. The speaker will automatically be connected just by turning on the BLUETOOTH function on the BLUETOOTH device.
-
- Press the(BLUETOOTH) button.
You hear voice guidance (Pairing) from the speaker and the
(BLUETOOTH) indicator starts double flashing (pairing mode). - Perform the pairing procedure on the BLUETOOTH device to detect the speaker.
When a list of detected devices appears on the display of the BLUETOOTH device, select “SRS-XB100.”
If a passkey* is required on the display of the BLUETOOTH device, enter “0000.”
* The passkey may be called a “passcode,” “PIN code,” “PIN number,” or “password.”
- Make the BLUETOOTH connection from the BLUETOOTH device.
When the BLUETOOTH connection is established, you hear the notification sound from the speaker and the activity of the
(BLUETOOTH) indicator changes from flashing to lit. 
If the BLUETOOTH connection is not established, repeat from step
.
Hint
-
As long as the BLUETOOTH function is activated on a BLUETOOTH device that has previously been connected with the speaker, the speaker is reconnected with the device right after the speaker is turned on.
-
The above instructions on the BLUETOOTH device are provided as an example. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the BLUETOOTH device.
Note
-
The pairing mode of the speaker is released after about 5 minutes and the
(BLUETOOTH) indicator flashes slowly. However, when the speaker has no pairing information, such as at the factory settings, the pairing mode is not released. If the pairing mode is released before finishing the process, repeat from step. -
The passkey of the speaker is “0000.” If a passkey besides “0000” is set on the BLUETOOTH device, pairing cannot be done with the speaker.
-
Once the BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need to pair them again, except in the following cases:
-
Pairing information has been deleted after repair, etc.
-
The speaker is already paired with 8 devices and another device is to be paired.
The speaker can be paired with up to 8 devices. When a new device is paired in addition to 8 paired devices, the pairing information of the earliest device connected via a BLUETOOTH connection is replaced by the information of the new one.
-
The pairing information with the speaker has been deleted from the BLUETOOTH device.
-
The speaker is initialized.
All pairing information will be deleted. If you initialize the speaker, it may not be able to connect your BLUETOOTH device. In this case, erase the pairing information of the speaker on your BLUETOOTH device, and then perform the pairing procedure again.
-
-
The speaker can be paired with multiple devices, but can only play music from one paired device at a time.
