Setup

1. Charging the Speaker

The speaker has a built-in 5000mAh rechargeable Li-polymer battery. It supports two charging methods:

• USB/Type-C Cable Charging: Connect the included Micro USB or Type-C cable to the speaker's charging port and plug the other end into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port, mobile power bank). A full charge takes approximately 5 hours.
• Solar Charging: Place the speaker with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. This is an auxiliary supplemental charging function and is significantly slower than cable charging. It is ideal for maintaining charge during outdoor activities but should not be relied upon for primary charging.

2. Bluetooth Pairing

To connect your device to the speaker via Bluetooth (BT 5.3):

1. Ensure the speaker is charged.
2. Press and hold the Power button on the speaker until you hear a "Power On" prompt and the Bluetooth indicator light begins to flash, indicating it's in pairing mode.
3. On your mobile phone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled device, go to the Bluetooth settings.
4. Search for available devices and select "JDC-01" from the list.
5. Once connected, you will hear a "Paired" confirmation, and the Bluetooth indicator light will become solid.

6. The speaker can maintain a connection distance of up to 165 feet in open areas.

3. TWS (True Wireless Stereo) Pairing

For an immersive stereo sound experience, you can pair two FRIENGOOD JDC01 speakers together:

1. Ensure both speakers are powered off and fully charged.
2. Turn on both speakers. They will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode.
3. On one of the speakers (this will be the primary speaker), double-press the Power button. The speakers will attempt to connect to each other.
4. Once successfully paired, you will hear a confirmation sound, and the Bluetooth indicator on the primary speaker will remain solid, while the secondary speaker's indicator may change or turn off depending on the model.
5. Now, connect your device to the primary speaker via Bluetooth as described in step 2. Audio will play in stereo across both speakers.

6. Note: TWS pairing works best when speakers are within 100 feet of each other.

4. Wired Connections (AUX & TF Card)

• AUX Connection: Use the included 3.5mm audio cable to connect the speaker to any non-Bluetooth audio source (e.g., MP3 player, TV, computer). The speaker will automatically switch to AUX mode.
• TF Card Playback: Insert a TF (MicroSD) card loaded with MP3/WAV/FLAC audio files into the TF card slot. The speaker will automatically detect the card and begin playback.
