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

• Place the BLUETOOTH device within 1 m (3 ft) of the speaker.

• Connect the speaker to the AC outlet or charge the battery sufficiently.

• Prepare the operating instructions supplied with the BLUETOOTH device for reference.

Pairing the speaker with a BLUETOOTH device

Pairing is the process required to mutually register the information on BLUETOOTH devices to be connected wirelessly.

It is necessary to pair a device with the speaker to be able to make BLUETOOTH connection for the first time.

Select your situation from the following 2 connecting patterns.

• Pairing and connecting with a BLUETOOTH device

• Connecting with a smartphone by one touch (NFC)

Connecting the speaker with the paired device

Once BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need to pair them again. To connect a device already paired, refer to the following topic.

• Connecting with a paired BLUETOOTH device

Connecting the speaker with a smartphone by one touch (NFC)

By touching the speaker with a smartphone, the speaker is turned on automatically and then proceeds to pairing and making BLUETOOTH connection. For details, refer to the following topic.

• Connecting with a smartphone by one touch (NFC)
• Disconnecting the smartphone by one touch (NFC)
• Switching devices by one touch (NFC)

Compatible smartphones

NFC-compatible smartphones with Android 2.3.3 or later installed

NFC

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology enabling short-range wireless communication between various devices, such as smartphones and IC tags.

Thanks to the NFC function, data communication - for example, BLUETOOTH pairing - can be achieved easily by simply touching NFC-compatible devices together (i.e., at the N-Mark symbol or location designated on each device).

Note

• Once 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. If a new device is paired after 8 devices are already paired, the paired device with the oldest connection time is replaced by the new one.

  • When the pairing information with the speaker has been deleted from the BLUETOOTH device.
  • When the speaker is initialized, all pairing information is deleted.
• The speaker can be paired with multiple devices, but can only play music from one paired device at a time.
