LISTENING TO MUSIC VIA BLUETOOTH STREAMING

You need to pair your Bluetooth device with the speaker before you can auto- link to play/stream Bluetooth music through the speaker. Pairing creates a ‘bond’ so two devices can recognize each other.
Note
To have better sound quality, we recommend setting the volume to more than two-thirds level on your Bluetooth device and then adjusting the volume on the speaker as required.

Pairing your Bluetooth device for the first time

Press the Power button to turn on the speaker. Repeatedly press the ‘MODE’ button until ‘Bluetooth’ is displayed.
Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device’s user manual to link to the speaker. Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device named “MELLF”.
Once connected, there will be a confirmation tone sound. You can simply select and play any music from your source device. Volume control can be adjusted from your source device, or directly from the speaker.
Use the controls on your Bluetooth-enabled device or on the speaker to play/pause and navigate tracks.

Note

If 2 Bluetooth devices, pairing for the first time, both search for the speaker, it will show its availability on both devices. However, if one device links with this unit first, then the other Bluetooth device won’t find it on the list.
If your Bluetooth device is temporarily disconnected to the speaker, then you need to manually reconnect your device again to the speaker.
If “MELLIF” shows in your Bluetooth device list but your device cannot connect with it, please delete the item from your list and pair the device with the speaker again following the steps described previously.
The optimum Bluetooth streaming range is roughly 10 meters (30 feet) (line of sight) to the speaker but distances up to 30 meters (100 feet) are possible.
If Bluetooth connection is lost due to exceeding time of separation, exceeding the optimum distance, obstacles or otherwise, reconnecting your device with the speaker may be necessary.
Physical obstacles, other wireless devices or electromagnetic devices may affect the connection quality.
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting to the speaker. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices.

Playing audio files in Bluetooth mode

When you have successfully connected the speaker with the chosen Bluetooth device you can start to play your music using the controls on your connected Bluetooth device.

Once playing has started adjust the volume to the required setting using the Volume buttons on the speaker or on your enabled Bluetooth device.
Use the controls on your Bluetooth device to play/pause and navigate tracks. Alternatively, control the playback using Play/Pause, Next Track and Previous Track buttons on your speaker.
Press and hold the Fast-forward button or Rewind button to move through the current track. Release the button when the desired point is reached.

Note

Not all player applications or devices may respond to all of these controls.
Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from the speaker when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute their Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or for other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behavior is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with the speaker.

Playing a previously-paired Bluetooth source device

The speaker can memorize up to 8 sets of paired devices, when the memory exceeds this amount, the oldest pairing history will be overwritten.
If your Bluetooth device is already paired with the speaker previously, the unit will memorize your Bluetooth device and it attempts to reconnect with a device in memory that is last connected.
If the last connected device is not available the speaker will be discoverable.
