IN THE BOX

LOCATION OF CONTROLS

CHARGING

Insert the USB Type-C cable into the speaker’s USB port as shown below and connect the other end to any USB adapter or charging device. The LED will light up RED while charging and turn off when fully charged.

Note: When the battery is low the ”Battery Low ” prompt is heard and the RED LED will flash once every 10 seconds.

POWER BUTTON

The Power button is used to power the speaker on or off, play/pause your music, or answer an incoming call.
The Power button is touch-controlled. Gently touch it instead of pressing down:

POWER ON/OFF

Power on
Touch and HOLD the Power button for 2 seconds until the speaker powers on.
Power off
Touch and HOLD the Power button until the BLUE LED light turns off.

Note:

1. The speaker will automatically power off after 15 minutes when it’s not connected to a device.
2. The speaker will automatically power off after 30 minutes of inactivity.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING

Connecting

1. When the speaker is powered on for the first time or not connected to a device, it will be in pairing mode, and the LED will flash BLUE.

2. Open your device’s Bluetooth menu and find BKS380 and select it to pair.

3. Once paired, “Connected” will be heard and the LED will turn solid BLUE.

Disconnecting
Press and HOLD the “+” and “–” buttons for 3 seconds to disconnect the speaker from a device. Once it disconnects, you’ll hear “Disconnected” and it will go into pairing mode.

Note: This feature is handy to quickly pair the speaker to a new device.

LINKING TWO SPEAKERS
You can link two Brookstone Big Blue Go speakers to create a TWS (true wireless) pairing. Before beginning the linking process, make sure that only one of the speakers (not both speakers) is paired and connected to a Bluetooth-enabled device (see page 6). We will refer to that speaker as Speaker 1 (main speaker) and the other speaker as Speaker 2.

1. Place the two speakers together, back to back, as shown below until you hear the “Linking” voice prompt and the LED indicator of Speaker 2 starts quickly flashing BLUE.
2. Once the speakers are linked, you’ll hear the “Speaker Linked” voice prompt and the LED indicator of Speaker 1 (main speaker) will be solid BLUE while Speaker 2 will slowly flash BLUE.

Unlinking the speakers
Place the two speakers together, back to back, as shown below until you hear the “Unlinked” voice prompt. The LED indicator of Speaker 1 will remain solid BLUE while Speaker 2 will flash BLUE and enter Bluetooth pairing mode.

Disconnecting a device from the linked speakers
Press and HOLD the “+” and “–” buttons for 3 seconds of either speaker and you will hear the voice prompt “Disconnected”. The LED indicator of Speaker 1 will flash BLUE. You can now connect that speaker to another device.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Place the speaker as shown below, on a flat and stable surface.

Note: The passive radiator produces powerful bass which may cause the speaker to vibrate when playing songs with lots of bass at the speaker’s highest volume level. If that occurs, try changing the location of the speaker or place it on a different type of surface.

AUDIO CONTROL

• Touch the Power button to pause or resume audio playback.
• Press the + button to increase volume.
• Press the – button to decrease volume.
• Press and HOLD the + button to skip to the next track.
• Press and HOLD the – button to go back to the previous track.

PHONE CALLS

• Touch the Power button to answer an incoming phone call or end a call.

• The protective rubber seal needs to completely cover the speaker’s input panel to protect it from water damage.
• Dry the speaker off completely before charging or using the AUX inputs.
• Do NOT charge near sources of water or wet areas.
