Setup

1. Charging the Speaker

Before first use, fully charge the BlueSYNC BX speaker. Connect the supplied USB charging cable to the speaker's mini USB port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The charging indicator light will illuminate. A full charge typically takes 2-3 hours and provides 4-6 hours of playback time.

2. Powering On/Off

Locate the power switch, typically on the back or side of the unit. Slide the switch to the "ON" position to power on the speaker. Slide it to "OFF" to power off.

3. Bluetooth Pairing

The BlueSYNC BX will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode when powered on for the first time or if no device is connected. The Bluetooth indicator light will flash.

  • Standard Pairing:
    1. Ensure the speaker is powered on and in pairing mode.
    2. On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
    3. Select "BlueSYNC BX" from the list of found devices.
    4. Once paired, the Bluetooth indicator light will become solid, and you will hear a confirmation tone.
  • NFC Pairing (Near Field Communication):
    1. Ensure NFC is enabled on your compatible device.
    2. Tap your NFC-enabled device gently against the NFC logo area on the speaker's control panel.
    3. Confirm the pairing request on your device.
    4. The devices will connect automatically.

4. AUX Input Connection

For devices without Bluetooth, use the 3.5mm AUX input. Connect one end of a 3.5mm audio cable (not included) to your audio device's headphone jack and the other end to the AUX input port on the BlueSYNC BX. The speaker will automatically switch to AUX mode, or you may need to press the Mode button (often combined with Play/Pause) to select AUX.
