Connecting with an NFC-compatible device by One-touch (NFC)

By touching the speaker with an NFC-compatible device such as a smartphone, the speaker turns on automatically, then proceeds to pairing and BLUETOOTH connection.

*1 Even if your Walkman is compatible with the NFC function, it may not be able to make a BLUETOOTH connection with the speaker by One-touch. For details on the compatible models, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Walkman.

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).


Do the following before starting.

  • Turn down the volume of the device.
  • Stop playback on the BLUETOOTH device to avoid sudden loud sound output from the speaker.
  1. Set the NFC function of the device to on.
  2. Touch the speaker with the device.

    Unlock the screen of the device beforehand.

    Keep touching the device on the N marked part of the speaker until the device responds (it may take a few seconds).

    If the speaker is off, it will turn on when the device touches it.

    Follow the on-screen instructions to establish the connection.

    When the BLUETOOTH connection is established, (BLUETOOTH) indicator stays lit.

    To disconnect, touch the speaker with the device again.

Hint

  • Even if the speaker is not turned on, the (BLUETOOTH) indicator flashes when touching with a device. When the connection is established, the (BLUETOOTH) indicator lights up in white.
  • If you cannot connect the speaker, try the following.
    • Move the device over the N-mark part of the speaker slowly.
    • If the device is in a case, remove the case.
  • If you touch a device on the speaker, the device terminates the BLUETOOTH connection with the current device (NFC-compatible headset, etc.), and connects with the speaker (One-touch connection switching).

Note

  • If your device is a type that goes into standby mode in response to magnetic force, it may not be able to be connected by NFC.
