By touching the speaker with a smartphone, the speaker is turned on automatically and then proceeds to pairing and BLUETOOTH connection.
- Compatible smartphones
- NFC-compatible smartphones with Android 4.1 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).
- Set the NFC function of the smartphone to on.
For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the smartphone.
- Touch the speaker with the smartphone.
Unlock the screen of the smartphone beforehand.
Keep touching the smartphone on the N-Mark of the speaker until the smartphone responds (it may take a few seconds).
If the speaker is off, the (BLUETOOTH) indicator begins to flash when the smartphone touches it. When the BLUETOOTH connection is established, the speaker turns on automatically.
Follow the on-screen instructions to establish the connection.
When the BLUETOOTH connection is established, the (BLUETOOTH) indicator stays lit.
To disconnect, touch the speaker with the smartphone again.
Hint
- If you cannot connect the speaker, try the following.
- Move the smartphone slowly over the N-Mark of the speaker.
- If the smartphone is in a case, remove the case.
- Make sure that the app screen is displayed on the smartphone.
- If you touch a smartphone on the speaker, the smartphone terminates BLUETOOTH connection with any current device (NFC-compatible headset, etc.), and connects with the speaker (One-touch connection switching).
Note
- If your smartphone is the type that goes into standby mode in response to a magnetic force, it may be unable to be connected by NFC.
