Connecting to a Wi-Fi network using SongPal (Smartphone)

You can connect the speaker to a Wi-Fi network using SongPal installed on your smartphone.

First, make a BLUETOOTH connection between the speaker and the smartphone. Then configure the Wi-Fi settings. Wi-Fi settings in SongPal are sent from your smartphone to the speaker via BLUETOOTH. Complete step 10 within 15 minutes after turning on the speaker. If the settings are not completed within 15 minutes, the speaker will turn off automatically.

Do the following before starting.

  • Disconnect the LAN cable (not supplied) from the speaker.
  • Place the speaker closer to the wireless router.
  • Set the Wi-Fi antenna on the rear to the upright position.

Before starting this procedure, be aware that the setting information of your Wi-Fi network will not be protected until the setting is complete. After the setting is complete, the setting information of your Wi-Fi network will be protected again when you set wireless LAN security.

The specification and design of the application may change without notice.
