Pairing with Bluetooth® Devices

Your speaker must be paired to a Bluetooth® device before it can be used. It is only necessary to pair your speaker once with each device.

Pairing Speakers / Daisy Chaining

The Gemini Speakers need to pair to each other before connecting to your Bluetooth® device. Simply turn both speakers on allowing an automatic pairing. Once successfully paired, a short tone will play.

To Manually Connect the Gemini Speakers to Each Other:

1. Switch both speakers on by pressing and holding the Power Button for about 3 seconds or until the speaker switches on. The speaker will automatically enter Bluetooth mode, shown by flashing LED light.
2. In Bluetooth mode, Press and hold the Mode “M” Button on one of the speakers for about 3-4 seconds to enter TWS pairing mode.
3. The speakers will connect and emit a tone once connected, the speaker can now be paired to Bluetooth device.

Pairing the Gemini Speakers with your Bluetooth Device

1. Open the Bluetooth® Menu on the device you wish to pair. Some devices require you to select "Search for Devices” or “Add New Device” in order to create a Bluetooth® pairing.
2. With the speaker turned off, press the [power-symbol] Power Button. Navigate to Bluetooth® Mode if the speaker is not already in Bluetooth® Mode; the speaker will play a pairing voice prompt while awaiting a Bluetooth® connection.
3. Wait until you see “Gemini” on your device screen.
4. Select "Gemini" on your device and follow any further prompts to pair. Once pairing is complete, the speaker will play a short tone and will be ready to play audio via Bluetooth®. The blue indicator light will blink at a slower rate when pairing is complete.
