5. Operating Instructions

The Party Stick offers intuitive controls for music sharing and listening.

Power On/Off

The Party Stick powers on automatically when connected to a USB power source. To turn off, simply disconnect it from the USB power source.

One-Click Party Button Pairing

The core feature of the Party Stick is its effortless pairing:

  1. To initiate a Party session, press the large 'P' (Party Button) on the unit. The button will illuminate, indicating it is ready to pair and broadcast.
  2. Other Party Stick adapters or Party Button enabled products within range (up to 100 yards / 150ft radius) can join the session by pressing their respective Party Buttons.
  3. The system remembers your last Party connection for quick re-pairing in the future.

Tri-Mode Functionality

The Party Stick supports three distinct operating modes:

  • DJ Broadcast (Send Music): When your Party Stick is connected to your music source and broadcasting, other paired devices will receive and play your audio.
  • DJ Listening (Receive Music): When your Party Stick is paired and receiving music from another broadcasting Party Stick, your audio system will play the shared music.
  • Single Listening (Listen to Your Own Music): When not actively paired or broadcasting, the Party Stick functions as a standard Bluetooth receiver, allowing you to listen to music from your connected device independently.

Dynamically Adding Devices

Additional Party Stick adapters or Party Button enabled products can be dynamically added to an ongoing Party session by simply pressing their Party Buttons, even after the Party has already started.
