Introduction

The portable Bluetooth speaker from Monoprice, the Harmony Note 100, is intended for use in a home, an office, or while traveling. From such a little speaker, high-quality digital amplification with two 45mm speaker drivers and personalized DSP EQ tuning produces outstanding sound at unexpectedly loud volume settings. The Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo (TWS) function enables you to add an additional Harmony Note 100 to form a real stereo playback speaker system, while Bluetooth 5.0 offers a simple connection to your smartphone or PC. For mobile applications, IPx7 water resistance ensures a durable all- weather build quality, and the huge Lithium-ion rechargeable battery offers all-day playback. A Bluetooth-connected mobile phone can make voice-activated phone calls thanks to the built-in microphone. Additional connectivity options include microSD card inputs and wired 3.5mm auxiliary inputs.

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 blue, 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 MP43259 entry. If prompted for a passcode, enter 0000 (four zeros).
4. Once connected, the Bluetooth Indicator will stop flashing and will illuminate solid blue, and an audible cue will be heard.

AUX PLAYBACK

If your audio device does not have Bluetooth® or if you do not want to use Bluetooth, you can listen to audio using a wired connection to the 3.5mm AUX Jack on the speaker.

1. Plug one end of the included 3.5mm Audio Cable in the 3.5mm AUX Jack on the speaker, then plug the other end into the headphones or other analog audio output on your audio source device.
2. Press the Bluetooth Button to switch between Bluetooth and AUX playback.
3. Use the controls on your device to control audio playback and the volume controls on the speaker to control the volume. The playback controls on the speaker do not function with a wired connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell when the battery in my Bluetooth speaker is full?

A row of LED lights on the front of your speaker will turn on once it is plugged in and remain on until charging is finished.

How can I make my Bluetooth speaker’s battery last longer?

Your best options are a portable battery pack and quick charging capabilities. A shorter battery life can be compensated for by quick charging. This capability, which not all speakers have but is quite helpful nonetheless, may take a dead battery and resuscitate it for a sufficient length in a half-hour or less.

My Bluetooth speaker is charging, but can I use it?

Yes. Without endangering the battery, you can use your Bluetooth speaker while it is charging. When using the speaker for the first time, you should fully charge it while it is off so that you may check the battery life.

How long should a Bluetooth speaker be charged?

The Bluetooth® speaker’s internal battery needs three (3) hours to fully recharge from a dead battery.

Why does the battery on my speaker deplete so quickly?

Additionally, if the battery life of your Bluetooth speaker is depleting quickly and it isn’t because you’re listening to music at its loudest volume, there may be a problem with how much power the Bluetooth speaker requires generally. Simply said, some speakers are not made to be effective.

How are speakers that are wirelessly powered?

Yes, the majority of wireless speakers plug into standard power outlets or power strips using AC adaptors. To become “truly wireless,” some systems employ rechargeable batteries, whereas this feature necessitates repositioning and charging as routine tasks in order to use this type of surround sound system.

How durable are Bluetooth speakers?

The Bluetooth speaker’s battery life varies based on the model and the company that made it. A speaker should typically operate for ten to twenty hours after a full charge. This is what? A full charge may only be good for a few hours of use on smaller Bluetooth speakers.

How should a Bluetooth speaker be cared for?

The most crucial thing to keep in mind is not to clean your wireless Bluetooth speaker with water. Liquids can enter the internal components of the wireless Bluetooth speaker and hurt them. To remove dirt and other debris, a straightforward cloth will work well.

Is AC power required for wireless speakers?

The AC power cable (wire) that “wireless” speakers always have needs to be plugged into the wall. Normal “wired” speakers take their power from the amplifiers in your AV receiver over the same wire that carries the music.
