QUICK START GUIDE

Getting Started with the XS Sport

The XS Sport is a rugged wireless speaker that's water-and shock-resistant, built to withstand the elements and go where you want to go!

Remember: The XS Sport is water-resistant, not water-proof. Do not fully submerse it in water or other liquids.

Bluetooth wireless is a quick and easy way to connect a smartphone to a speaker or a headset. There are basically two steps to making Bluetooth work.

PAIRING: The two devices get to know each other.

"Hi. I'm a phone."

"Hi phone. I'm a speaker."

If you've previously paired your phone or other Bluetooth device with this speaker, the speaker will automatically attempt to reconnect to that device when you switch the speaker on. If you want to pair to a new device, give a short double-press to the ⏻ button. The speaker gives a signal and indicator light on the front of the speaker starts blinking.

Choose 808 XS Sport from the pairing options on your smartphone. (If it's not in the list, choose "Scan" from your phone's Bluetooth menu.)

The speaker gives an audio signal when it's finished pairing and connecting to your smartphone. The indicator light on the front of the speaker turns solid blue.

Note: The process of enabling Bluetooth and connecting varies from device to device. See your device's owners manual for more information and specific instructions.

Bluetooth Wireless Connection Tips

• Make sure the Bluetooth capability of your device is turned on.
• Make sure there's nothing plugged into the speaker's AUX IN jack when you're trying to use Bluetooth.
• The Bluetooth wireless connection works up to a range of roughly 33 feet (10 meters). This range may vary, however, based on other factors, such as room layout, wall material, obstacles, your device's Bluetooth performance, etc. If you're having problems connecting to this speaker, move closer to it.
• If your device asks you for a password to connect, use "0000".
• If you've paired your device with the speaker before but you're having trouble reconnecting when you turn the speaker back on, give a short press to the button while the indicator light on the front of the speaker is flashing. The speaker will attempt to connect to a previously paired device.

Step 5: Play music

Set your device's volume for music to 50%.

Note: This is to make sure the sound from the speaker isn't too loud when you start streaming.

Start playing music or other audio on your device. Within seconds, the speaker starts streaming the audio wirelessly via Bluetooth.

The speaker automatically switches to the AUX IN audio, and the indicator on the front of the speaker turns white.

To listen to Bluetooth audio again, unplug the cable from the speaker's AUX IN jack. The speaker will try to reconnect to the last Bluetooth device.
