Bluetooth MODE

Stream audio wirelessly from players with Bluetooth. Press the FUNCTION button [4] to select "BT" (Bluetooth) mode.

Wireless players with Bluetooth may include laptops, tablets, smartphones, and more. Make sure that your player has its Bluetooth radio enabled and that it is set to be discoverable.

CONNECTING A DEVICE FOR THE FIRST TIME (PAIRING)

Before using a wireless device with Bluetooth, you will need to establish a connection between It and the Boombox. This process is called "pairling" and you will only have to do it once. Once two devices are paired, they will automatically connect when they detect each other.

1. When you set the Boombox to "BT" mode and it does not detect a paired device, it will automatically switch to pairing mode. (The blue PAIR indicator will blink when the boombox is in pairing mode.)
2. On your wireless device, go to its Bluetooth settings menu.
3. Have your wireless device "search for devices". Select the boombox (NPB-261) when it is found. Enter the passkey "0000" if the device asks for one.
4. When pairing is complete, the boombox will emit a soft tone, the display will read "BT" and the blue PAIR indicator will light a steady blue. If a connection cannot be made, the PAIR indicator will flash once every 2 seconds. (Press the PLAY/PAUSE/PAIR button [13] to try again.)

The boombox will automatically connect to your wireless device next time as long as it has Bluetooth enabled, is within range, and is set to be visible to paired devices.

Note:

There are many different Bluetooth enabled devices out there; we cannot provide instructions for all of them. Please refer to your device manufacturer's instructions or website to learn more about connecting with Bluetooth.

AUX-IN MODE

Play audio from devices connected to the AUX input jack. Press the FUNCTION button [4] to select "AUX" mode.

1. Connect your audio device to the 3.5mm AUX IN jack [10] found on the top of the unit with a 3.5mm AUX cable.
2. Set the volume level of the connected audio device to approximately 80%. Make additional adjustments to the volume level by turning the VOLUME dial [9] of the unit.
3. Control playback with your audio device.
