Connecting the neckband speaker with an Android™ smartphone or an iPhone via a BLUETOOTH connection

The process to register the information of a target device required for BLUETOOTH connection is called pairing.

To use a device in combination with the neckband speaker via a BLUETOOTH connection, it is necessary to pair the neckband speaker with the devices on an individual basis.

Before proceeding, make sure of the following:

  • Bring the Android smartphone or iPhone within 1 m (3.2 ft) of the neckband speaker.

  • Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

  • To avoid any sudden loud sound output from the neckband speaker, turn down the volume of both the Android smartphone or iPhone and the neckband speaker or stop music playback.

    Depending on the Android smartphone or iPhone, the music playback volume may be synchronized between the Android smartphone or iPhone and the neckband speaker after they are connected via a BLUETOOTH connection.

  • Bring the operating instructions supplied with the Android smartphone or iPhone at hand for reference.

  1. Put the neckband speaker into pairing mode.

    At the time of purchase, the neckband speaker is paired with the supplied transmitter.

    To pair the neckband speaker with a second or subsequent Android smartphone or iPhone (of which pairing information the neckband speaker has), make sure that the neckband speaker is turned off, and then press and hold the(power)/(BLUETOOTH) button for about 5 seconds until you hear voice guidance (BLUETOOTH pairing). When the neckband speaker is in pairing mode, the indicator starts double flashing in blue.

    Note

    • Be sure to keep holding the button even in the event that you hear voice guidance (Power ON) in about 2 seconds after you press and hold(power)/(BLUETOOTH) button.

  2. Operate the Android smartphone or iPhone to pair with the neckband speaker while, if necessary, refreshing the device list.

    On the Android smartphone:

    1. Tap [Settings].

    2. Tap [Device connection] - [Bluetooth].

    3. Tap [Off icon] to change it to [On icon].

    4. Tap [SRS-NS7].

      If [SRS-NS7] is not displayed on the screen, tap [Menu icon] at the top right corner and then tap [Refresh].

    On the iPhone:

    1. Tap [Settings].

    2. Tap [Bluetooth].

    3. Tap [Off icon] to change it to [On icon].

    4. Tap [SRS-NS7].

      If [SRS-NS7] is not displayed on the screen, tap [On icon] to change it to [Off icon], and then tap it once again to change it back to [On icon].

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to establish a BLUETOOTH connection.

    When a BLUETOOTH connection is established, you hear voice guidance (BLUETOOTH connected) from the neckband speaker and the indicator on the neckband speaker starts flashing in blue.

    If a BLUETOOTH connection is not established, repeat the procedure all over again from stepnumber 1.

Hint

  • As long as the BLUETOOTH function is activated on the Android smartphone or iPhone that has previously been connected with the neckband speaker, the neckband speaker is reconnected with the Android smartphone or iPhone right after it is turned on.

  • The above instructions are provided as an example. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your Android smartphone or iPhone.

  • When [SRS-NS7] and [LE_SRS-NS7] are displayed for the connection attempt, select [SRS-NS7].

    Although [LE_SRS-NS7] is first displayed, wait until [SRS-NS7] is displayed.

    It may take about 30 seconds to 1 minute before [SRS-NS7] is displayed.

    If [SRS-NS7] is not displayed, repeat the procedure all over again from stepnumber 1.

  • If passkey entry is prompted on an Android smartphone or an iPhone, enter “0000.”

    The passkey may be called a “passcode,” “PIN code,” “PIN number,” or “password.”

Note

  • For Apple iOS devices, the neckband speaker is compatible with iOS 10.0 or later. BLUETOOTH connection is not available on the devices with iOS 9.x or earlier installed.

  • The neckband speaker comes out of pairing mode in about 5 minutes and the indicator on the neckband speaker turns to slow blue flashing. If the neckband speaker comes out of pairing mode before you complete the procedure, repeat the procedure all over again from stepnumber 1.

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

    • Pairing information is deleted in the course of repair work, etc.

    • The neckband speaker is already paired with 8 devices and another device is to be paired.

      The neckband speaker can be paired with up to 8 BLUETOOTH 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 of the neckband speaker has been deleted from the paired BLUETOOTH device.

    • The neckband speaker is initialized.

      The pairing information of all BLUETOOTH devices except for the transmitter is deleted. Once the neckband speaker is initialized, it may fail to establish a BLUETOOTH connection with the Android smartphone or iPhone. In such a case, delete the pairing information of the neckband speaker from the Android smartphone or iPhone, and then pair the neckband speaker with the Android smartphone or iPhone all over again.

  • The neckband speaker can be paired with multiple devices, but can only play music from one paired device at a time.
