Charge the speakers

Before you start using the speakers for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge them completely.

Connect the speakers for stereo mode

Pair and connect to your phone

Enable Bluetooth on your smartphone or other device (if it isn’t already on). Make sure the speaker is on (the indicator light on the top of one of the speakers should be flashing blue).
Choose AR Pool Speaker from the pairing options on your smartphone. (If it’s not in the list, choose “Scan” from your phone’s Bluetooth menu.) The speaker’s indicator light turns solid blue when the pairing process is complete.

NOTE: The process of enabling Bluetooth and connecting varies from device to device. See your device’s owners manual for more information and specific instructions.

NOTE: If you’ve previously paired a different Bluetooth device with this speaker, the speaker will automatically attempt to reconnect to that device when you switch the speaker on. If you want to pair to a new device, press and hold the speaker’s button for 5-6 seconds to break the current Bluetooth connection and enter pairing mode. Then find the AR Pool Speaker on the new device and connect to it.
