aiwa EXOS-9 Portable Bluetooth Speaker User Guide
THANK YOU
We’ve proudly resurrected the iconic Aiwa brand in the passionate pursuit of
bringing people together around music. We do this with a simple formula, by
creating amazing speakers that deliver the music you love, the way it was
meant to be heard.
We’re thrilled that you’ve chosen the Exos-9 to enhance your listening
experience. Welcome to the Aiwa family.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
- Read all instructions
- Do not use this apparatus near water.
- Clean only with a dry cloth.
- Do not use near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat.
- Unplug this device during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
- To completely disconnect the speaker from the AC mains, disconnect the power supply from the AC receptacle.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fi re or electrical shock, do not expose this device to rain or moisture.
GETTING STARTED – BATTERY
Setting up your Exos-9 couldn’t be easier. First, install the battery pack.
There is a small latch on the bottom of the unit that keeps the battery in
place. When installing the battery, insertthe tabs on the left fi rst, and
push the battery in until the latch clicks. To remove the battery, pull the
catch on the latch outward.
PAIRING
Connect the power cord to the back of the Exos-9 and power on using the switch. The screen will illuminate. Now you’re ready to listen!
The Exos-9 is always available to pair – in other words, there is no need for
“pairing mode.” Just turn it on and search for it on your smartphone or other
Bluetooth-capable device, or simply tap your phone to the NFC touch-point on
top of the speaker.
The Exos-9 will remember the last 8 devices paired, and will automatically
connect when in range and powered on.
Note: The LINK button is only for connecting two Exos-9 speakers in
mirror or stereo mode. Since it’s always in “pairing” mode, there is no need
for an extra button just to connect to your device.
Make sure Bluetooth is active on your connecting device. Search for nearby
Bluetooth devices. The speaker will appear as “Aiwa Exos-9”, simply select to
connect.
If your device supports NFC pairing, touch it to the NFC icon in the circle on
the top of the device, just to the right of the touch screen.
AUX-IN
Almost anything headphones can plug into can play through the Exos-9. MP3 players, CD players, radios, computers, televisions, etc. can be connected with the included 3.5mm audio cable.
The Exos-9 will automatically switch to auxiliary input when you connect a device.
The screen will show “AUX IN” when this input is active. If it doesn’t switch
to the correct input automatically, hold the play/pause button on the speaker
to switch inputs manually.
PLACEMENT
The Exos-9 will go anywhere you want great sound, but if you’re looking for a
more permanent spot to place the speaker, there are a couple things to keep in
mind. Speakers with deep bass extension like the Exos-9 are aff ected by how
close they are to the wall. Bass can be boosted if the back of the speaker is
within a few feet of the wall, but if it’s too close to the wall the bass may
be dulled. If you would like to improve bass response, try moving the speaker,
or adjust the bass using the equalizer.
BATTERY LIFE
The Exos-9 battery lasts for approximately 10 hours playing at moderate volume. Battery life varies with volume nd EQ settings. As with all speakers, battery life gets much shorter at very high volumes.
To get more play time at very high volumes, use the Battery Save Mode EQ
setting. It targets and reduces audio frequencies that use the most power, and
can increase battery life by up to 100%.
The display sceen and touch pad are designed to turn off after 15 seconds of activity to preserve battery life. Press any button or swipe your fingers across the touch pad to reactivate.
CHARGING / POWER
The battery will automatically charge as needed when the speaker is connected to AC power using the included power cord. The cord is a standard PC cord and easily replaceable.
The battery level is shown on the display screen. You may continue to use the speaker on AC power while the battery is charging. You can swap a depleted battery with a spare or extended life battery.
After 15 minutes of inactivity, the speaker will enter sleep mode to save
power. While in sleep mode, it will not connect via Bluetooth or play audio.
Connect via NFC or press one of the touch buttons on top of the speaker to
wake it from sleep mode.
USB PORTS
There are two USB ports on the Exos-9. The port labeled “USB Charge” can be
used to charge your mobile device.
The Exos-9 fi rmware can be updated using the micro-USB port labeled “Software
Update.” Check the Aiwa website (www.aiwa.us.com)
for instructions and new fi rmware versions.
BLUETOOTH LOCK
To lock the Bluetooth connection to a single device, hold down the RIGHT and LINK buttons. The speaker will remain connected until manually released or until the unit sleeps due to inactivity.
EQUALIZER
The Exos-9 has a 5-band graphic equalizer so you can adjust the sound to your personal taste or room acoustics.
To adjust the equalizer, use the left and right arrows to select an EQ band.
The currently selected band will blink. Press the up arrow to increase the
gain on a given band, press the down arrow to decrease it.
To select the EQ presets, Battery Save Mode, or to turn the EQ off , keep pressing the right arrow to make a selection.
The Exos-9 has 4 built-in EQ presets to enhance your music. Preset 1 is for
Rock, 2 is for Hip-Hop and Dance, 3 is for Jazz and 4 is for Classical.
Try them out and see what sounds best to you – these are only suggestions.
CONTROLS

within a few seconds to initiate the connection.

WIRELESS SYNC SPEAKERS

mirror or stereo mode, simply press the LINK button on one Exos-9 and then

no objects blocking the signal between them.
Avoid placing either unit near a router or any device that may cause
interference.
