Unpack

Make sure the following items came in this package:

1. (1) Rechargeable Wireless Speaker

2. (1) Power adapter

Charge the speaker

Before you start using the speaker for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it
completely.
To charge the speaker: Open the rubber door covering the jacks on the back the speaker. Plug the included power adapter into the DC jack behind this door.

Plug the other end of the power adapter into a power outlet. The charging indicator is red while the speaker is charging. It turns green when it’s fully charged.
Note: You can use the speaker while it’s charging.

Turn the speaker on

Press and hold the button on back of the speaker to turn it on.

The indicator above this button starts blinking blue.

Pair and connect to your phone

Enable Bluetooth on your smartphone or other device if it isn’t already on.
Make sure the indicator above the button on the speaker is blinking rapidly. (If it isn’t, give a quick double press to the button. The speaker gives an audio signal.)

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, double- press the button on the speaker—the speaker gives an audio signal.

Choose AR Brighton from the pairing options on your smartphone. (If it’s not in the list, choose “Scan” from your phone’s Bluetooth menu.)
The speaker gives an audio signal when it’s finished pairing and connecting to your smartphone. The indicator light on the back of the speaker turns solid blue.
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.

Bluetooth Wireless Connection Tips

• Make sure the Bluetooth capability of your device is turned on.
• Make sure there’s nothing plugged into the speaker’s jack when you’re trying to use Bluetooth.
• The Bluetooth wireless connection works up to a range of roughly 33 feet (10 meters). This range may vary, however, based on other factors, such as room layout, wall material, obstacles, your device’s Bluetooth performance, etc. If you’re having problems connecting to the speaker, move closer to it.
• If your device asks you for a password to connect, use “0000”. If you’re having trouble reconnecting, try the following solutions:
• Find the device named “AR Brighton” in the Bluetooth menu on your phone, and remove (or forget) this device. Then start the pairing process described in this section again to re-pair and connect.
• With the speaker on, press and hold the – and + buttons on the back of the speaker for 6 seconds until the speaker gives an audio signal and turns off. This resets the speaker. Then, remove “AR Brighton” from your phone’s Bluetooth devices and repeat the pairing process.

Start playing music on your device

Set your device’s volume for music to 75%. Start playing music or other audio on your device. Within seconds, the speaker starts streaming the audio wirelessly via Bluetooth.
To adjust the volume of your audio: Give a quick press to the speaker’s + or – button (on the back panel) or use the volume controls on your phone.

TIP: If you’re playing music via Bluetooth, a quick single-press on the speaker’s button will pause/play.

Adding Speakers (Stereo Mode)

If you have a second wireless speaker, you can use it together with this one in stereo mode. To use two speakers together in stereo mode: DC Speaker back.

1. Turn on both speakers. (Press and hold the button on the back of each.)
2. Press and hold the    button on the back of the first speaker until the speaker gives an audio signal.
3. The speakers announce “left connected” and “right connected” when they’re ready to play in stereo.

Once the speakers are connected with each other, the left speaker will try to pair to your phone (its light will blink fast). Find the AR Brighton in your phone’s Bluetooth menu and connect to it.
Once the speakers are connected to your phone, the right speaker’s light will go solid white. The left’s light also goes solid white and blinks off every 5 seconds. Keep your phone close to the left speaker— that’s the one it’s connected to!

Using the Lighting Modes

The button gives you control over this speaker’s built-in flame lighting. You can use the lighting whether the speaker’s on or off. Press the button to cycle through the multiple lighting modes:
Speaker back
Flame
Firefly
Candle
Fireworks
Sunset
Dim and Bright White Light
Off turns the speaker’s lighting off.

Listening to Nature Sounds

This speaker offers several built-in nature sounds you can use to relax or add to the atmosphere.
To listen to the built-in nature sounds: Press and hold the button on the back of
the speaker. Press this button repeatedly to cycle through the available sounds.
To listen to Bluetooth audio again: Press and hold the button.

Using the auxiliary input

Use a mini-jack audio cable (not included) to connect the audio output from your device to the audio input on the speaker’s back panel (open the rubber door to access the jack). The speaker automatically switches to the audio. (For two-speaker setups, plug into the one whose light is blinking every 5 seconds.)
To listen to Bluetooth audio again: Unplug the cable from the speaker’s  jack.
