Bluetooth Pairing

Before using your JBL OnBeat Xtreme System with a Bluetooth-enabled device, you must pair them.

Note: The maximum range for Bluetooth function is approximately 10 meters.

To pair your JBL OnBeat Xtreme System with your device, follow these steps:

1. Ensure your JBL OnBeat Xtreme System is powered on (the status LED glows white).
2. Ensure the JBL OnBeat Xtreme is in Bluetooth pairing mode (the source indicator LED blinks blue). If the LED is not blinking blue, press the source selection button repeatedly until the LED blinks blue.
3. Put your Bluetooth-enabled device into pairing mode so both devices can 'see' each other (refer to the Bluetooth-enabled device's user manual for instructions on how to enter pairing mode). The JBL OnBeat Xtreme will appear as "OnBeat XT" on your Bluetooth-enabled device.
4. If prompted by your device, enter the JBL OnBeat Xtreme password: 0000.
5. The JBL OnBeat Xtreme System is successfully connected and ready for use when the blue source indicator LED glows solid blue (not blinking). The JBL OnBeat Xtreme will remain connected to the Bluetooth device even if you change the source or put the device into standby mode.

Note: Bluetooth pairing between two devices does not need to be repeated after a successful pairing, unless you delete the JBL OnBeat Xtreme System from the Bluetooth-enabled device's list of paired devices or disconnect the JBL OnBeat Xtreme's power cable. If the JBL OnBeat Xtreme is in connected Bluetooth mode, you can force it into Bluetooth pairing mode by holding the source selection button for at least 2 seconds (the source indicator LED will blink blue).

Listening to Music from a Bluetooth-Enabled Device

1. Ensure your JBL OnBeat Xtreme System is connected to your Bluetooth-enabled device (see 'Bluetooth Pairing' on the left).
2. Set the JBL OnBeat Xtreme System to Bluetooth source mode by pressing the source selection button repeatedly until the blue LED lights up.
3. Navigate to the music player on your Bluetooth-enabled device and play music. For details on the music player and Bluetooth technology transmission, refer to the Bluetooth-enabled device's user manual.
4. Control the music player using the Bluetooth-enabled device.

Playing Video and Photo Files

When an iPod, iPhone, or iPad is docked to the JBL OnBeat Xtreme System, the video output of the iPod/iPhone/iPad is automatically deactivated, even if it was enabled before docking.

To enable video output from the JBL OnBeat Xtreme System, press and hold the Navigation Up button on the remote control for at least 2 seconds. The JBL OnBeat Xtreme source indicator LED will blink white once. The video from the iPod, iPhone, or iPad will be displayed on the connected TV.

To disable video output, press and hold the Navigation Down button on the remote control for 2 seconds. The JBL OnBeat Xtreme source indicator LED will blink white twice.

EQ Settings

The JBL OnBeat Xtreme dock has five Equalizer (EQ) presets to adjust the sound according to the program being played: Music (Standard), Movies, Chat, Internet Radio, or Games, in that order.

Use the remote control to switch the EQ setting for the active source as follows:

1. Press and hold the Enter button on the remote. The EQ setting will advance to the next preset (e.g., Movies), and the source indicator LED will blink to confirm.
2. With each press and hold of the Enter button, the equalizer will cycle through the presets: Movies, Chat, Internet Radio, or Games. The source indicator LED blinks each time the equalizer is switched.
3. When the source indicator LED blinks twice, the equalizer has returned to Music mode.

If the iPad charges when directly connected to a PC via USB cable, it will also charge when docked to the JBL OnBeat Xtreme speaker dock. However, if the iPad does not charge when directly connected to a PC via USB cable, it will not charge when also connected to the JBL OnBeat Xtreme speaker dock.
