CHARGING

Charge the battery before first use and at least once every two months to keep it fresh and capable of holding a full charge. We recommend that you charge the speaker for about 10 minutes prior to use if it has been unused for at least 7 days.

1. When the Battery Charge Indicator has only one element illuminated, the battery level is low and needs to be recharged.
2. Plug one end of the included USB Type-C® Charging Cable into the USB Type-C Charging Port on the speaker, then plug the other end into a USB power source, such as a wall charger, power bank, computer, etc. (available separately). The Battery Charge Indicator will flash white and the number of illuminated elements will increase while charging is in progress.
3. When charging is complete, the Battery Charge Indicator will be solid white in all four elements.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING

1. Press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds to turn the speaker on. When the speaker is first powered on, it will automatically enter Bluetooth® pairing mode and the Bluetooth Indicator will flash white, indicating that it is in Bluetooth pairing mode. If the speaker is already paired to a device and that device is powered on and within range, the speaker will attempt to reconnect to the paired device. If it cannot automatically reconnect to the paired device, you can either press and hold the Bluetooth button for 3 seconds to reconnect the device or proceed with pairing a different device.
2. Open the Bluetooth® settings on your device and scan for nearby Bluetooth connections.
3. Locate and select the MP43261 entry. If prompted for a passcode, enter 0000 (four zeros).
4. Once connected, the Bluetooth Indicator will stop flashing and will illuminate solid white, and an audible cue will be heard.
