CONNECTING MULTIPLE SPEAKERS VIA UNISYNCTM
Using the UNISYNC feature you can connect up to  50 UNISYNC compatible speakers. In this example,  your Soundwave is your primary device.

  • To connect a replica, short press the UNISYNC button on your primary speaker once to enter  UNISYNC mode. Once the primary announces it is  in UNISYNC mode, repeat on the replica. After the  replica announces it is in UNISYNC mode, press the UNISYNC button on the replica device once more –  the replica will announce it is using UNISYNC audio.
  • The primary speaker will show a solid blue light while replicas will show a flashing red and blue light.
  • To exit UNISYNC mode, press the UNISYNC button until you hear UNISYNC disabled.*
  • Press and hold the UNISYNC button for 6 seconds  to reset the UNISYNC function.**
  • *If UNISYNC is disabled, Soundwave will disconnect from but remember the replicas connected to it.
  • **Resetting UNISYNC will enable Soundwave to ‘forget’ all replica devices and Bluetooth connections.

POWERBANK
Soundwave comes with a USB-A output port, which is capable of supplying up to 5V⎓2A (10W).
Whilst charging another device, the LED battery indicator lights will flash. The number of lights flashing will indicate how much charge is remaining in the speaker’s powerbank.

MULTIPOINT CONNECTION
Multipoint is a feature that allows Soundwave to connect to two Bluetooth devices at once. This means that you can listen to music from one device, whilst still hearing notifications and receiving calls from another device.
To setup Multipoint:

  1. Connect your first Bluetooth device.
  2. Hold down the UNISYNC button for 2 seconds to disconnect Bluetooth.
  3. Connect your second Bluetooth device.
  4. Hold down the power button for 2 seconds and turn off Soundwave.
  5. Hold down the power button for 2 seconds and turn on Soundwave.

Soundwave will announce “Bluetooth connected” twice. Soundwave will play audio from the last device it receives a command from, but it will treat the device with calls and notifications as priority.
