Bluetooth
Before you can stream music from your mobile device (iOS device or Android

mobile device to this sound system.
-
Connect the sound system to a power supply. The sound system will automatically enter pairing mode.
-
On your mobile device, enable Bluetooth function and select the device name (“Boss Audio ATV654”) to pair the sound system with the mobile device. If prompted for password input on your mobile device, input “0000”.
To maximize audio performance, set the volume of the connected device to a minimum of 75%. Ideally, on the highest volume setting you can get without distortion.
Operating the sound system consumes the vehicle battery. To avoid battery exhaustion, be sure to run the vehicle engine when operating the sound system.
Operational range can be reduced by any obstacle between the sound system and the device.
If the connected device is out of the effective range from the sound system, the device will be automatically disconnected. The device will be automatically re-connected if it is within the effective range again. If Bluetooth has been disconnected for more than three minutes, you need to manually reconnect Bluetooth through your mobile device. Only one device can be paired at a time. -
When successfully paired/connected, a confirmation tone can be heard. Play audio on your mobile device, and audio will be streamed to the sound system. Use the volume control on the connected device to adjust volume.
After pairing, the sound system will be automatically connected to your mobile device each time the two are powered on and within range. To pair a different device to this sound system, disconnect the Bluetooth connection on the current mobile device, then repeat Step 2 above to pair/connect to another mobile device.
