Setup

1. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the speaker's internal rechargeable battery. Connect the speaker to a power source using the provided power adapter.

5. Audio-in Connection

To connect devices without Bluetooth, use the 3.5mm audio-in port. Connect one end of a 3.5mm audio cable (not included) to your audio device's headphone jack and the other end to the "Audio-in" port on the speaker. The speaker will automatically switch to Audio-in mode.

6. USB Charging for External Devices

The speaker features a USB port that allows you to charge your smartphone or other USB-powered devices. Connect your device's USB charging cable to the USB port on the speaker. Charging will begin automatically.

Operating Instructions

1. Volume Control

Adjust the volume using the volume buttons (+ and -) located on the top panel of the speaker. You can also control the volume from your connected Bluetooth device.

2. Playback Control

When connected via Bluetooth, you can typically control playback (play/pause, skip tracks) directly from your paired device. The speaker itself may have limited playback controls depending on the specific model variant.

3. Switching Audio Sources

The speaker automatically prioritizes the audio-in connection when a cable is inserted. To switch back to Bluetooth, disconnect the audio-in cable. If no audio-in cable is connected, the speaker will remain in Bluetooth mode.
