Pairing and connecting with a Bluetooth device

You can pair and connect your wireless speaker with a BLUETOOTH® device and use the speaker as an external speaker for the connected device.

Pairing is the process required to mutually register the information on Bluetooth devices to be connected wirelessly. It is necessary to pair the speaker with a Bluetooth device in order to establish a Bluetooth connection for the first time.

When pairing with 2 or more Bluetooth devices, perform the following procedure for each device.

Before operating the speaker, be sure to do the following:

  • Place the Bluetooth device within 1 m (3 ft.) from the speaker.
  • Stop playback on the Bluetooth device.
  • Turn down the volume of the Bluetooth device and the speaker to avoid any sudden loud sound output from the speaker. Depending on the paired Bluetooth device, the volume of the Bluetooth device may be synchronized with the volume of the speaker when you start playing music after a Bluetooth connection is established.
  1. After establishing a Wi-Fi connection, press and hold the (Bluetooth)/PAIRING button to place the speaker into Bluetooth pairing mode.

  2. 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 the name of the speaker.

    If passkey* entry is prompted on the Bluetooth device, enter “0000.”

    * A passkey may also be called “Passcode,” “PIN code,” “PIN number” or “Password.”

  3. Establish a Bluetooth connection from the Bluetooth device.

    You can enjoy playing music stored on the Bluetooth device.

Hint

  • For details on operating a Bluetooth device, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Bluetooth device.
  • With the previously connected Bluetooth device, you can establish a Bluetooth connection simply by pressing the (Bluetooth)/PAIRING button on the speaker, provided that the Bluetooth function is active on the Bluetooth device.

Note

  • The speaker goes out of Bluetooth paring mode in about 3 minutes and the Bluetooth LED goes out. However, if the speaker fails to store the pairing information, it will not go out of Bluetooth pairing mode. If the speaker goes out of Bluetooth pairing mode before you complete the above procedure, repeat the procedure again.

  • Once the speaker is paired with the Bluetooth device, there is no need to pair them again, except in the following cases:

    • Pairing information is deleted due to repair work, etc.

    • The pairing information of the speaker is deleted from the Bluetooth device.

    • The speaker is initialized.

      All pairing information will be deleted.

  • The speaker can be paired with multiple devices, but can only have a Bluetooth connection with one paired device at a time.
