3. Bluetooth Pairing
- Ensure the speaker is powered on and within 1 meter (3 feet) of your Bluetooth-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, etc.).
- The speaker will automatically enter pairing mode when first powered on, indicated by a flashing blue LED. If it doesn't, press and hold the Bluetooth button (marked with a Bluetooth icon) for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode.
- On your device, go to Bluetooth settings and search for available devices.
- Select "TYLT Bell" from the list of found devices.

The speaker will automatically attempt to reconnect to the last paired device when powered on, if that device is within range and has Bluetooth enabled.
4. Magnetic Attachment
The TYLT Bell features a strong magnetic base for secure attachment to compatible magnetic surfaces. This allows for flexible positioning, such as on the back of a magnetic phone case, a metal desk, or a refrigerator.
