When using a removable storage unit such as a USB stick or microSD card, you only have to press Playback mode/Voice assistant (4) twice to skip to another folder. To enable shuffle mode, press and hold the very same button for 2 seconds.
You will hear a confirmation sound every time you enable/disable shuffle mode.
Important: Bear in mind that you can only manage playback from the connected music player while using the Auxiliary audio input (10).
Bluetooth (BT)
To pair your speaker with a Bluetooth device, press Playback mode/Voice assistant (4). Select Bluetooth mode. At this point, the LED indicator (6) flashes blue. You will hear a confirmation sound when the device enters search mode. At this point, access the Bluetooth settings on the connected device and search for Urban Box 5+ among the detected devices. Select it to establish the connection. The devices will be connected immediately. You will hear a sound confirming both devices are correctly paired.
Your Urban Box 5+ connects to the last paired device automatically when you switch it on once again, provided that the
Bluetooth connection on the source device is enabled.
Your Urban Box 5+ turns off automatically after 5 minutes in Bluetooth mode, if not paired with any device.
The Bluetooth wireless connection range is up to 20 metres.
True Wireless Stereo (TWS)
This option makes it possible to wirelessly connect another Urban Box 5+ and hear music with twice as much power.
This way, you will create a stereo sound system made up of two different channels: left and right.
To use this function for the first time, turn on both Urban Box 5+. Enable Bluetooth mode on both units. At this point, the LED indicators (6) on both speakers will flash blue.
Press and hold Playback mode/Voice assistant (4) for two seconds on any of them. You will hear a confirmation sound. The LED indicator (6) stops flashing and glows blue on the other speaker.
Pair the first speaker with your smartphone. At this point, you will be able to start Bluetooth playback. You will hear the music through both speakers at the same time. One speaker will be assigned the left channel (L) and the other one the right channel (R).
The next time you turn on both speakers, they will pair with one another automatically, provided that Bluetooth mode is enabled on both units.
If you want to disable this function, press and hold Playback mode/Voice assistant (4) for 2 seconds on any of them.
Both speakers will be disconnected. Skip to the next/previous track and adjust the volume from any speaker while TWS mode is enabled. If you turn up the volume on any of the speakers, you will be turning up the volume of both of them at the same time.
Important: To use this function, Bluetooth mode must be enabled. In all other playback modes (USB, microSD or AUXin) a TWS connection is not possible.
Removable storage units (USB sticks/MicroSD cards)
The Urban Box 5+ plays .mp3 and .wav files from 64 GB USB sticks or microSD cards with FAT / FAT32 file system. Plug the microSD card into the MicroSD card slot (7) or the USB stick into the USB port (8). The speaker plays the contents automatically a few seconds after inserting the storage unit.
If you turn off the Urban Box 5+ or select another playback mode, the internal memory will save the moment where you paused playback. This way, music playback will always resume from the last track you listened to.
Press On/Off/Play/Pause/Calls (1) to play or pause a song.
Press Volume +/Next (2) or Volume -/Back (3) to adjust the volume level according to your preferences. You will hear a warning sound when reaching the maximum volume.

Press Playback mode/Voice assistant (4) twice to skip to another folder.
To enable or disable shuffle mode, press Playback mode/Voice assistant (4) for 2 seconds. You will hear a confirmation sound every time you enable/disable this mode.
The root folders and files of your removable microSD cards and USB sticks will be read in chronological order and the songs included in your folders in alphabetical order.
Here you have a diagram of the reading order: FM radio
Before using the FM radio function, it is necessary to carry out a search of all stations available. The radio stations will be saved to the speaker’s internal memory. It is therefore not necessary to carry out a new search each time you switch it on. You will only have to do this if you place the device in a new location or if you change the frequency of the saved radio station.
To carry out a search of all radio stations, press Playback mode/Voice assistant (4), until the FM radio mode appears on screen. Press and hold Playback mode/Voice assistant (4) for 2 seconds to carry out an automatic search. The process may take a few minutes.
Once the search has been completed, press and hold Volume +/Next (2) or Volume -/Back (3) to select the radio station you want to hear from all saved radio stations. Press the very same buttons to turn the volume up or down. Press On/Off/Play/Pause/Calls (1) to mute the radio. Press the very same button to unmute.
If you place the speaker somewhere else, you will have to carry out a new search to obtain a proper radio wave reception.
Your Urban Box 5+ saves the last selected radio station when you turn it off. This way, you will hear it when switching on the speaker once again.
Important: The battery charging process may interfere with the radio signals depending on the AC/DC power adapter used.
Auxiliary audio input
Your Urban Box 5+ features an Auxiliary audio input (10) to connect your external devices using an audio cable with 3.5 mm mini jack plug.
Important: It is not possible to manage music playback from the speaker while using this mode. You will have to use the connected music player instead.
Call control (Hands-free function)
You can control your calls from the speaker itself. To do so, pair the Urban Box 5+ with your smartphone.
When receiving a call, the song you are listening to stops and the ringing tone sounds instead. Press
On/Off/Play/Pause/Calls (1) to answer the call. Press it once again to hang up.
Important: If you receive an incoming call while TWS mode is enabled, you will only hear the voice of the person who calls through the speaker connected to your smartphone.
Voice Assistant
The Urban Box 5+ allows you to activate your smartphone’s voice assistant. You only have to press Playback mode/Voice assistant (4) twice. This way, you will directly activate your smartphone’s assistant via Bluetooth.
This function will let you ask questions and use voice commands to perform tasks naturally and easily.
For more information you can take a look at Google Assistant and Siri user guides, available on their manufacturers’ websites.
Charging the battery
When the battery level is below 10%, you will hear a sound reminding you to charge it. To charge the battery, plug the USB Type-C end of the provided USB cable into the USB Type-C charging port (9) and the other USB end to any device with a 5 V USB port (PC, USB wall charger, car charger, etc.). The LED of the USB Type-C charging port (9) lights up red and switches off once the charging process has been completed.
The speaker has an approximate battery life of 10 hours. It depends on the selected volume and the type of music.
