Charging the Speaker

Before initial use, fully charge the speaker's internal battery.

2. Connect the small end of the Micro-USB to USB charging cable to the speaker's charging port.
3. Connect the larger USB end of the cable to a powered USB source, such as a computer's USB port or a USB wall adapter (not included).
4. The charging indicator LED will illuminate, typically red, to show that the speaker is charging.
5. Allow approximately 3 hours for a full charge. The indicator LED will change color or turn off once charging is complete.

A fully charged battery provides up to 3 hours of playback time.

Follow these steps to connect your speaker to a Bluetooth-enabled device:

1. Ensure the speaker is fully charged. Press and hold the Power Button to turn the speaker on.
2. The Bluetooth Indicator LED will begin to flash, indicating the speaker is in pairing mode and ready to connect.
3. On your Bluetooth-enabled device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop), navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu.
4. Enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
5. Select "iLive iSB135RW" from the list of found devices.
6. Once successfully paired, the Bluetooth Indicator LED on the speaker will become solid, and your device may confirm the connection.
