Pairing

The Bluetooth-enabled device that you wish to stream audio to your speaker system must

fi rst be paired to the speaker. The process is simple, and in most cases the pairing process

needs to be done only once.

1. Make sure your device’s Bluetooth is turned on. See the wireless and/or network settings

menu on your device to check.

2. If the speaker isn’t already on, press the On-Off button to turn it on. You will hear a beep

to indicate the speaker is turned on. The indicator light on the back of the speaker starts

fl ashing blue.

3. Press and hold for 3 seconds the Pair button to enter pairing mode. You will hear 2 beeps

to indicate pairing mode is entered. The indicator on the back of the speaker starts blinking

faster.

4. Open the Bluetooth settings menu on your device. Select “AR SPEAKER” from the list of

devices available (you might have to scan for devices). If your device asks for a password,

enter “0000”.

5. A confi rmation screen will appear on your device once the speaker and the device are

successfully paired. The blue indicator turns solid blue to indicate successful connection.

The speaker is now ready for you to stream audio from your device.

6. Turn the volume on your device to at least 3/4 max, then start playing something on the

device. Control the speaker volume on the speaker itself, using the Volume +/– buttons on

the back of the speaker.
