Operating Instructions
Bluetooth Pairing
- Ensure the speaker is powered on and within 33 feet (10 meters) of your Bluetooth-enabled device.
- The speaker will automatically enter pairing mode, indicated by a flashing blue LED light.
- On your device, go to Bluetooth settings and search for available devices.
- Select "Amazon Basics Speaker" from the list.
- Once paired, the blue LED light will stop flashing and remain solid. You can now stream audio wirelessly.
Note: If pairing fails, turn off the speaker and your device's Bluetooth, then repeat the steps. The speaker will attempt to reconnect to the last paired device automatically when powered on.
