Basic operation

Use the supplied Micro USB cable to charge your portable speaker directly from your computer, laptop or AC adapter.
Make sure that your portable speaker is fully charged before using it for the first time. Check that the LED light turns ON while the speaker is charging. It will turn off when the speaker is fully charged and ready to use.
The battery has to be initially charged for at least 3 hours. Thereafter, it will take from 2 to 3 hours to recharge.

Advanced operation

Note: Before starting, please make sure your device has the built-in Bluetooth® feature available

Pairing the speaker with your phone

Make sure the speaker is off.
Set your Bluetooth® phone to “discover” the wireless speaker.
Place both devices not more than one meter away from each other.
Press and hold the Power button to turn ON the speaker. The blue LED starts blinking, accompanied by a short tone, to indicate that the device has entered into the pairing mode and is ready to be detectable for the first time.
On your mobile phone, tap the newly discovered audio device (XTS-614) displayed in the Bluetooth® list.
When the speaker asks if you want to pair with it, click Yes or OK to accept.
If you have a lower Bluetooth® version, you may be prompted to enter the passkey 0000 (4 zeros).
If pairing is successful, a tone will be heard and the LED will turn solid blue. If after 60 seconds the pairing process fails, please repeat steps 1 through 7 described above.
We recommend turning off the device when not in use, to conserve battery power.

Using the speaker with Bluetooth® technology

Answering and ending a call using your mobile device

When there is an incoming call, the speaker will generate a tone to alert you of this event.

When listening to music using your mobile phone, playback will resume automatically once the call has ended.
By pressing the Power/Play-Pause/Mode/Handset button twice, the phone will redial the last number called (on supported devices).
Press and hold the Power/Play/Pause/Handset button for about 1.8 seconds if you wish to reject an incoming call.

Music playback in Auxiliary mode

The speaker will remain in this mode until the Power/Play-Pause/Mode/Handset button is pressed to change to the mode of choice or disconnect the 3.5mm cable.

Pairing two portable speakers with TWS technology

Press the Power button twice on one of the speakers to enter TWS mode.
A tone will be heard on both speakers once it enters pairing mode.
Once the devices are connected , the BT light in the main unit will stop blinking, and in the second unit it will remain blinking, until it connects to a mobile device via BT.
Connect the speaker to a mobile device via BT, once connected, play a song to verify that both units play the same audio file.
