True Wireless Pairing

Your CSTW-43FD speaker supports True Wireless Pairing, allowing you to transmit music from your device to two CSTW-43FD speakers simultaneously without any wires connecting them.

To pair or unpair speakers with each other, press and hold the Mode button on either speaker. Once the speakers are connected to each other, connect your Bluetooth® device as instructed in the Connecting Via Bluetooth® section.

Note: The speaker connected to the Bluetooth® enabled device becomes the primary speaker. If the primary speaker is turned off, both speakers will turn off. True Wireless Pairing only works in Bluetooth® mode.

Connecting Via Bluetooth®

Open the Bluetooth® settings on a Bluetooth® enabled device (phone, tablet, laptop, etc.). Turn on the device's Bluetooth® functionality and select the speaker when it appears. You will hear an indication tone to confirm a successful connection.

Note: On some devices, you may need to scan or search for devices. Please refer to your device's user manual for instructions on connecting Bluetooth® devices if you are unsuccessful.

Music Controls

After connecting your device to the CSTW-43FD, music will be playable through your chosen app.

• To pause or resume music in Bluetooth®, USB Input, or Memory Card Input modes, press the Power/Play Pause button.
• Adjust the volume by pressing and holding the Next Track/Increase Volume or Previous Track/Decrease Volume buttons.

Radio

To begin scanning FM radio stations, press the Power/Play Pause button. When you find a station you wish to listen to, press the Power/Play Pause button again to stop scanning. To manually switch FM radio stations, use the Next Track/Increase Volume and Previous Track/Decrease Volume buttons.

Note: If reception is poor, plugging in a 3.5 mm AUX cable can help improve the signal.

Phone Calls

• To answer or hang up an ongoing phone call, press the Power/Play Pause button.
• To reject an incoming call, press and hold the Power/Play Pause button.

AUX, Memory Card & USB Mode

To connect non-Bluetooth® enabled devices, you can use an AUX cable. Connect the other end to your device. Alternatively, insert a memory card or USB flash drive containing MP3 files to play music directly on your speaker. Refer to the Music Controls section for volume and playback adjustments.

Note: When an AUX cable is connected or a memory card/flash drive is inserted, your speaker will automatically unpair from any actively paired Bluetooth® device.
