Pairing devices via Bluetooth

If you are requested to enter a pairing code while your device and the BT speaker are pairing, use the code: “0000”. To disconnect a paired device, hold down the Bluetooth button until LED starts blinking blue on the unit.

Note: To ensure a stable Bluetooth connection, make sure that the distance between the BT speaker and your connected device is kept within 10 meters.

Caution: Some connected devices support common volume setting. If some of the connected devices do not support this feature, the volume setting will operate separately on each device.

TWS function

If you buy another Bluetooth speaker („BBS 5500“), you can pair both speakers together for optimum stereo sound. First, make sure your device is not connected to any BT speaker. Turn both BT speakers on, press the TWS button briefl y and wait until they are paired automatically. The LED indicator will stop blinking and remain lit on both devices when the BT speakers are paired. Changing the volume level using the volume control buttons will take eff ect automatically on both paired BT speakers. Pressing and holding the Power On button on one of the speakers will turn both paired speakers off .

Note: If the BT speakers fail to be paired successfully, hold down the TWS button on both speakers until the speakers show message „true wireles cleared“.

Audio AUX IN

The BT speaker is equipped with a 3.5mm jack. Your device can be connected to the BT speaker via the supplied audio cable. First connect the audio connector to your appliance and then into the socket in the BT speaker.

Notice: before connecting your device and speaker, ensure that the output signal from your device is at its minimum level (minimum output volume). This will prevent the BT speaker from damage. When the audio cable is connected, the BT speaker does not meet the water ingression protection class.

Note: In this mode, not all functions of the BT speaker are available. The Bluetooth function is not active if the audio jack is connected to the BT speaker.

Play/Pause button

1. The BT speaker is equipped with lighting eff ects in the compartment of passive emitters. To turn the light eff ect on/off , press the Play/Pause button twice briefly.
2. Press the Play/Pause button to start or pause music playback during Bluetooth connection or while a memory media is inserted.

Bluetooth button

1. The Bluetooth button serves for a fast Bluetooth function selection.
2. The incoming call to a Bluetooth connected paired device will be accompanied by an acoustic signal which will interrupt the music being played back. Each Bluetooth button press will answer/hang up an incoming call. To reject an incoming call, long press the Bluetooth button.

Note: The reception of the BT speaker’s microphone may be attenuated due to the device’s water resistance. To improve the reception, please speak loud and in the vicinity of the BT speaker.

Volume and track playback control

To control the BT speaker’s volume (+/- buttons), use the buttons on the BT speaker. During music playback, you can press and hold the “+” button to jump to the next track playback. To select the previous track, press and hold the “−” button.

Note: If the battery charge level drops below 20%, the BT speaker will reduce the volume automatically. We recommend to start charging the BT speaker battery.

Memory card slot

1. Insert the memory card so that the contacts point towards the speaker’s charging connector. When you insert a memory card, the BT speaker will automatically start playing back its contents. If there are no files for playback on the memory card, the BT speaker will switch to another playback mode (e.g. AUX IN). To release the TF memory card, press it gently into the BT speaker with your fi ngernail or a blunt instrument and the card will release. Then you can carefully remove it with your fi ngernails (or with tweezers).
2. Playing music
   Press the on/off button briefl y to switch to the “memory card mode”. The music playback from the connected storage will start automatically. Please record your music on the storage in the same order as it’s to be played back from the BT speaker.

Caution: Due to a number of devices on the market, compatibility and playback support are not guaranteed for all media. The memory devices you want to connect should be tested in advance and/or formatted as FAT32. The playback of protected media, fi les or content stored inside them may fail. While the USB storage is connected, the speaker does not meet the water ingression protection class.

Charging the BT speaker

A charged battery provides power for several hours of operation at normal volume levels. A high volume consumes more battery power; therefore, we recommend listening at normal volume levels. To charge the BT speaker, please connect the charging adapter to the mains and then to the BT speaker. A low battery level will be indicated by an audible alert and a fl ashing LED indicator with the music playback volume being reduced at the same time.

Caution: For charging, use only the original accessories supplied with the appliance. To achieve the maximum battery lifetime, it is best not to start charging until the low battery audible alert is output. Charge continuously until fully charged. When the battery operating time becomes very short, the battery lifetime has been used up; we recommend that you have the battery replaced at your authorized centre.

Recommendation: If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, we recommend to fully charge the battery once every two to three months. We recommend to store the unit with a the battery charged to prevent irreparable damage to the battery (loss of capacity).

Ingression protection (IPX7)

The unit is resistant against water thus allowing you to listen to your music in bath, shower, on the beach or by the pool. IPX7 water resistance guarantees the unit’s function with slight splashing or immersing in water 1m deep for up to 30 minutes. Full immersion is not recommended because of possible loss of the audio playback signal.

Caution: Remember to always seal the BT speaker’s inputs with the original blind plug (No.7-9 on the “BT speaker description” fi gure) and make sure the plug is not damaged. Never charge the unit during possible contact with fl uids. The unit is designed for contact with clean water only without any additives. Avoid exposing the unit to contaminated or industrially treated fl uids (such as lemonade, sea/salt water, oils, etc.).

Speaker reset

If the BT speaker freezes or the Bluetooth connection fails, please use the Reset feature. Hold down the BT speaker power button for 10 seconds to reset the device.
