Charging and LED Indicators

• LED glows red: The speaker battery is charging.
• LED glows green: The speaker battery is fully charged.

Note: Low battery status results in a gradual reduction in performance and possible audio outages. In this case, immediately connect the power to the speaker or turn it off.

Powering On / Off

To turn the speaker on/off, press the POWER button. The display lights up and a beep sounds.

Pairing via Bluetooth

1. Turn on the speaker and make sure Bluetooth mode is selected on the display. If it is not selected, press the MODE button below the rear panel display to select it. The speaker is now ready for pairing.
2. Activate the Bluetooth connection on your smartphone or other device. Select "LAMAX PartyBoomBox500" from the list of available devices. When pairing is successful, the speaker beeps.
3. Playback can be controlled either by a paired device, directly on the speaker, or via remote control.

Note: The Bluetooth connection works best within 10 metres in an open area.

TWS (True Wireless Stereo)

To pair two speakers, turn on both speakers and make sure they are not paired with the multimedia device. Set both devices to Bluetooth mode by pressing the MODE button; the LCD display shows "no B". Hold down the PLAY/PAUSE button for 5 seconds on one of them, which will be the main one. A beep sounds and the main speaker acts as the right channel. The other speaker also beeps and acts as the left channel.

To unpair the speakers, hold the same MODE button on the main speaker, or turn one off.

Using an External AUX Source

1. Select "AUX" using the MODE button on the rear panel of the unit.
2. Connect your audio device to the external AUX IN input on the rear panel. You can then control playback on the external audio device or on the speaker itself.

2. Turn the MIC VOL control on the rear panel to increase or decrease the microphone volume.
3. Turn the ECHO control on the rear panel of the device to increase the echo effect on the microphone.

Note: If you are placing the microphone next to the speaker, turn off the microphone. Otherwise, the speaker may feed back, causing a loud uncomfortable sound.
