POWER AND BLUETOOTH™ SPEAKER OPERATION

1.  To charge the Outdoorsman’s internal lithium-ion battery, connect a smartphone or tablet’s USB charger (any 1A or 2A rated USB charger) to the “IN” micro USB port (1) on the Outdoorsman. The battery is fully charged when the Outdoorsman’s Indicator Ring
   (10) turns green. A fully charged battery will provide approximately 10 hours operating time at a normal, moderate volume level. Low power is indicated by a flashing orange ring. When the battery charge drops below 3% remaining, the Outdoorsman will power off automatically.

2. The “OUT” micro USB port (2) can be used to recharge your phone if necessary while away from other power sources. Note: using the Outdoorsman to recharge mobile devices will reduce the battery level and operating time of the Outdoorsman.

3.  Hold the Power button on the Outdoorsman (6) until the startup sound is heard and indicator light will blink fast orange.

4.  Make sure the Outdoorsman is within 10meters/32 feet from your mobile device. Activate Bluetooth® on your portable device and select “Outdoorsman” from list of available devices. Once paired, the indicator light will be solid orange and music from your portable devise will be heard on the Outdoorsman.

5. To disconnect the currently paired device, press Plus and Minus buttons simultaneously. The indicator light will blink fast orange, indicating the device has been disconnected, and the Outdoorsman is ready to pair with a new device. Note: when powered on, the Outdoorsman automatically reconnects to the last mobile device it was paired with. The Outdoorsman can memorize up to 8 paired devices. The Outdoorsman will shut off after 10 minutes in pairing mode if no devices have been paired, as a power saving feature.

6. Use the Plus (3) and Minus (4) buttons to adjust speaker volume up or down. Press the Play button (5) to pause music, press again to resume. Press and hold the Plus button to advance to the next track. Press and Hold the Minus button to start a track over from the beginning.

7.  The Outdoorsman has a microphone which allows you to take incoming calls. To answer an incoming call, press the Play button. To reject an incoming call, Press and hold the Play button. To end a call, press Play. To redial the last called number, press and hold the Play button.

TRUE WIRELESS STEREO CONNECTION OPERATION (requires two Outdoorsman speakers)
TWS technology enables you to use two Outdoorsman speakers, pairing via Bluetooth to create a wireless dual-channel system to deliver a true stereo effect with a left and right channel.
True Wireless Stereo Connection and Operation:

1.  Place two Outdoorsman speakers near each other, not more than ten meters apart.
2.  Power on the two Outdoorsman speakers.
3.  Your portable device will automatically connect with the Speaker that was last used. Then, disconnect that Speaker from the Bluetooth device list on your portable device.

A confirmation tone will play when connected in TWS mode successfully. The LED indicator light should be blinking orange on the main Speaker.

If you’re having issues connecting both speakers in TS, make sure your Bluetooth connection is off before pairing to the main Speaker.
