Pairing

Any Bluetooth-enabled device with A2DP SOURCE that you wish to stream audio to your

speaker system must ﬁ rst be paired to the speaker. The process is simple, and in most cases

the pairing process needs to be done only once.

To pair your Bluetooth-enabled device with the speaker:

1. Make sure your device’s Bluetooth is turned on. See the wireless and/or network settings

menu on your device to check.

2. If the speaker isn’t already on, press and hold the On-Off / RF-BT button for four seconds

to turn it on. You will hear a beep and the indicator light on the front of the speaker will

start ﬂ ashing blue.

3. Press and hold the Scan-RF / Pair-BT button for four seconds to enter pairing mode. You

will hear a beep and the indicator on the front of the speaker will start blinking faster.

4. Open the Bluetooth settings menu on your device. Select ”AR SPEAKER” from the list of

devices available (you might have to scan for devices). If your device asks for a password,

enter “0000”.

5. A conﬁ rmation screen will appear on your device once the speaker and the device are

successfully paired. The blue indicator turns solid blue to indicate successful connection.

The speaker is now ready for you to stream audio from your device.

6. Start playing something on the device. You can control the speaker volume on the speaker

itself, using the Vol +/– buttons

on the side of the speaker, or on your device, using its

volume controls.

Note: If you notice the sound from the speaker is distorted, turn down your device’s volume.

Note: These power units should be plugged in so

that they stay vertical or lie ﬂ at.

on the side of the speaker.

To disconnect from the speaker: Either turn Bluetooth off on your device or choose

To reconnect with the speaker: Just turn the speaker on and wait a few seconds for the

speaker to ﬁ nd and connect to your device. If the speaker still hasn’t found your device (which

may happen if, for instance, another device has been connected after yours) make sure the

speaker isn’t connected to another device currently. Then select the

AWS6B3 from the list of

Bluetooth connections available in your device’s Bluetooth menu to connect to it.

Powering the Transmitter

Connect the small, round plug from the transmitter AC

power adapter to the transmitter’s DC IN jack. Plug the

other end of the transmitter AC power adapter into any

standard 120V AC wall outlet.

rated 12V DC 200 mA.

Note:

There is no transmitter ON/OFF switch. The transmitter is designed to be left plugged

in and powered at all times. If you will not be using the

AWS6B3

for an extended period of

time, unplug the transmitter AC power adapter.
