Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
The Philips SPA3609 speaker does not feature a dedicated power switch. It powers on automatically when connected via USB to a powered device. To turn off, simply disconnect the USB cable or power down the connected device.
2. Volume Control
Adjust the volume directly from your connected audio source (computer, smartphone, etc.). The speaker will respond to the volume settings of the source device.
3. Switching Between Wired and Wireless
If both USB and Bluetooth connections are active, the speaker will typically prioritize the USB connection. To switch to Bluetooth, ensure no audio is playing via USB or disconnect the USB cable. Then, initiate playback from your Bluetooth-paired device.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the speaker's exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish.
