- On your mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.

- Once connected, the speaker will typically emit an audible confirmation tone, and the Bluetooth indicator on the display will stabilize.

Connect the other end of the cable to the headphone jack or audio output of your device. The speaker should automatically switch to AUX mode, or you may need to select it using the Mode button.

Maintenance
