- I – BT speaker power on battery
- 0 – off
- II – BT speaker power on from AC 100 ~ 240 V; 50/60 Hz
Switch to the “on” position and wait until the BT speaker greets you with an acoustic signal.
Warning: The “I” battery-powered mode is not suitable for listening to loud and dynamic music. If you require maximum performance from the BT speaker, it is recommended to listen in “II” mode powered from the mains.

TRANSPORT AND POSITIONING OF THE BT SPEAKER / SMART DEVICE HOLDER

Use handles “G1” and “G2” located on the top of the BT speaker for transportation.
Use the wheels on the bottom of the BT speaker “C” for easier movement. Hold the BT speaker by the handle “G1” and tilt it towards the rear. Pull the BT speaker. After moving, place the BT speaker steadily on the rubber feet.
The speaker offers 1 positioning option. The correct position side is equipped with rubber feet on the bottom of the BT speaker “C”.
The smart device holder is located at the top of the BT speaker “I”. Before placing your smart device in the holder, ensure it fits securely and will not fall out. When playing music at higher volumes, the BT speaker may vibrate, causing your smart device to fall out of the holder.
Note: Always position the device so that it does not endanger the health of persons in the vicinity or cause property damage.

PAIRING DEVICES VIA BLUETOOTH

Turn on the BT speaker and search for its Bluetooth name “PARTY ON BOOST” in the device to be paired, then start the pairing process.
If you are requested to enter a pairing code while your device and the BT speaker are pairing, use the code: “0000”.
To disconnect the paired device, end the pairing session on your mobile device or long-press the Bluetooth button. Disconnection will be indicated by an acoustic signal.
Note: To ensure a stable Bluetooth connection, maintain a distance of up to 10 meters between the BT speaker and the connected device.

TWS FEATURE

If you purchase another Bluetooth speaker (“PARTYCON BOOST”), you can pair them together for optimal stereo sound. First, make sure your device is not connected to any of the BT speakers.
Turn both BT speakers on, press and hold the TWS button, and wait for the BT speakers to pair automatically.
Successful pairing will be accompanied by an acoustic signal. Then connect your mobile device to one of the BT speakers.
Changing the volume level using the volume control knobs will automatically affect both paired BT speakers. To exit TWS mode, press and hold the TWS button on one of the BT speakers until you hear the acoustic signal indicating successful disconnection.
Warning: The TWS feature is only available in the Bluetooth mode. It is not possible to pair devices with a different type of BT speaker with the TWS feature or within different product editions with different Bluetooth names.

Memory Card Playback

Insert a memory card with the contacts facing the bottom of the BT speaker. After inserting the memory card, the BT speaker will automatically play its content. If there are no files to play on the memory card, the BT speaker will switch to the last active playback source.
To remove the memory card, gently press it into the BT speaker using your fingernail or a blunt object to release it from the slot. Then, you can carefully remove it with your fingernails (or with tweezers). Supported playback formats are listed in the technical specification.
Caution: Due to the variety of devices on the market, compatibility and playback support for all media are not guaranteed. The memory devices you want to connect should be tested in advance and/or formatted as FAT32. The playback of protected media, files or content stored inside them may fail.

To stop recording, press the “REC” button. Recording will stop, and the last track you recorded will start playing. To view or play all previous tracks, insert the USB storage device into your computer. The BT speaker is set not to interfere with the REC folder.
During playback of the last track, pressing and holding the “REC” button will erase the last recorded track and start playing the previous track.
Caution: Due to copyright restrictions, only sound from microphones can be recorded to the USB storage device.

POWER BANK FEATURE

The BT speaker can serve as a power bank to charge other portable devices. Lift the protective cover of the ports on the back of the BT speaker and connect your portable device’s charging cable to the USB port marked for charging.
The charging will take place automatically as long as the BT speaker is turned on. This is a feature that does not replace charging as effectively as charging from the original charger adapter.

CHARGING / POWERING THE BT SPEAKER

A fully 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, connect the power/charging cable to the BT speaker and then to AC100~240V; 50/60Hz. The charging indicator will display a red LED indication on the back. A fully charged battery will be indicated by a green LED indication. A low battery level will be indicated by an acoustic alert and LED indicators on the top side of the BT speaker.
Caution: To achieve maximum battery life, it is advisable to start charging the battery only after receiving a low battery alert by an acoustic alert. Charge continuously until fully charged. If the battery’s operating time is very short, the battery life is consumed, and we recommend having the battery replaced at an authorized service center.
Recommendation: If the device is not to be used for an extended period, we recommend to fully charge the battery once every two to three months. Store the device with a charged battery to prevent irreversible damage to the battery (loss of capacity).

INGRESS PROTECTION (IPX4)

The device is waterproof, allowing you to listen to music near water. Ingress protection IPX4 – protection against splashing water. Water splashes on the device from all angles, at a rate of 10 litres per minute and a pressure of 80–100kN/m2 for 5 minutes.
Warning: Always remember to seal the BT speaker inputs (No. 18–27 in the “BT Speaker Description” diagram) with the original gasket and make sure that the gasket is not damaged. Never charge/power the device during possible contact with liquids.
The device is designed for contact with clean water only without any impurities. Avoid exposing the device to contaminated or industrially treated liquids (such as lemonade, sea/salt water, oils, etc.).
