Thump GO 8" Portable Battery-Powered Loudspeaker
4. Bluetooth / Pair
While not a “physical” connection, stereo channel 3/4
is considered the Bluetooth channel and its volume
is raised and lowered via the device.
This is how to connect your device to the Thump GO
via Bluetooth! Read on...
Upon powering up the Thump GO, the Bluetooth
function is either:
() In sleep mode. See ‘Pairing and connecting
for the first time’ (below) or...
(2) ...Paired and connected. See ‘Previously paired
and connected devices’ (also below).
Pairing and connecting for the first time:
To enter pairing mode, press and hold the pair switch
down for at least three seconds. The LED will illuminate
and slow flash blue for approximately 30 seconds while
in pairing mode. [The LED will continue to flash until it
has successfully paired and connected].
While Thump GO is in pairing mode, simultaneously
scan for Bluetooth devices on your device. You should
see Thump GO appear in the list of “available devices”.
Select it by tapping it. From there, your Bluetooth
device should indicate that it is successfully
connected. Additionally, the pair button will stop
flashing and remain solid blue. If it does not, start
the pairing process again, and make sure that Thump
GO and your device are both in pairing mode at the
same time.
Previously paired and connected devices:
The Bluetooth connection will disconnect if it’s out
of range or if Thump GO is powered o. Previously
paired and connected devices will automatically
reconnect (unless turned o via the Thump Connect 2
App) and the pair button will once again illuminate a
brilliant blue.
To drop the device from being paired with
the Thump GO, press and hold the ‘Bluetooth
Pair’ button down for at least three seconds.
The Bluetooth connection may disconnect
when aected by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) or electrical fast transients (EFT).
If this occurs, manually reconnect the Bluetooth
connection.
As mentioned earlier, a Bluetooth connection
may be used simultaneously with the combo
jacks – XLR or /4" – and/or /8" line-level
connection. In other words, if there is a physical
connection to the /8” line input, another physical
connection to the combo jack AND a device
is connected via Bluetooth, none of those inputs
will be interrupted. An easy way to look at it is...
there are extra inputs!
If a phone – or two dierent phones – have
been paired via Bluetooth with two Thump GO
loudspeakers, they will not link.
The options are either () one phone connected
via Bluetooth and Thump GO loudspeakers may
be linked or (2) two phones connected via Bluetooth
to two dierent Thump GO loudspeakers and they
may be not be linked.
5. Speaker Link
Two Thump GO loudspeakers may either be linked
together or separate (i.e. not linked). Additionally, there
are options when linked, as they support stereo and
zone (dual mono) linking. However, those features are
only available when connected to the Thump Connect 2
App. It will default to stereo with just the hardware.
To link:
In order to link two Thump GO loudspeakers, press
and hold the ‘Link’ momentary switch / LED down on
the primary Thump GO loudspeaker until the blue LED
illuminates and begins slow-flashing.
Within (approximately) 30 seconds, a quick press
and release of the ‘Link’ button on the secondary
Thump GO allows both units to “see” each other,
handshake and link. The LEDs on both units will stop
flashing and remain solid, indicating great success!.
The Thump GO loudspeakers will continue
to auto-link on every power-up unless this
feature is turned o via the Thump Connect
2 App.
To unlink:
In order to unlink the two Thump GO loudspeakers,
press and hold the ‘Link’ momentary switch / LED down
on one of the Thump GO loudspeakers until the blue
LED turns o. The other Thump Go will automatically
unlink and the LEDs on both units will turn o.
If a phone – or two dierent phones – have
been paired via Bluetooth with two Thump GO
loudspeakers, they will not link. The options
are either () one phone connected via Bluetooth and
Thump GO loudspeakers may be linked or (2) two
phones connected via Bluetooth to two dierent Thump
GO loudspeakers and they may be not be linked.
