Pairing is the process required to mutually register the information on BLUETOOTH devices to be connected wirelessly.
To pair with a second or subsequent BLUETOOTH device, perform the following pairing procedure for each device.
Before operating the speaker, be sure to do the following:
-
Place the BLUETOOTH device within 1 m (3.2 ft) of the speaker.
-
Connect the speaker to an AC outlet with the supplied AC power cord (mains lead). Or charge the rechargeable built-in battery sufficiently.
-
To avoid any sudden loud sound output from the speaker, turn down the volume of both the BLUETOOTH device and the speaker or stop music playback.
Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, the volume of the device may be synchronized with the speaker.
-
Prepare the operating instructions supplied with the BLUETOOTH device for reference.
-
Turn on the speaker.
-
Check the status of the
(BLUETOOTH) indicator.When the indicator is double flashing
After you pair the speaker with a BLUETOOTH device for the first time since purchase or initialize the speaker (the speaker has no pairing information), the speaker automatically enters pairing mode when it is turned on. Proceed to step
.When the indicator is flashing slowly
The speaker is searching for a BLUETOOTH device.
-
To pair the speaker with a second or subsequent BLUETOOTH device (when the speaker has pairing information of other BLUETOOTH devices), proceed to step
. -
To reconnect to the BLUETOOTH device that has been registered (paired), proceed to step
.The speaker will automatically be connected just by turning on the BLUETOOTH function on the BLUETOOTH device. Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, it may be reconnected just by turning on the power to the speaker. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the BLUETOOTH device.
When the indicator stays lit
The speaker has been connected to the BLUETOOTH device.
To connect to other BLUETOOTH devices, follow one of the procedures below.
-
To pair the speaker with a second or subsequent BLUETOOTH device (when the speaker has pairing information of other BLUETOOTH devices), proceed to step
. -
To reconnect to the BLUETOOTH device that has been registered (paired), proceed to step
. The speaker will automatically be connected just by turning on the BLUETOOTH function on the BLUETOOTH device.
-
-
Press the
(BLUETOOTH) button.You hear voice guidance (BLUETOOTH pairing) from the speaker and the
(BLUETOOTH) indicator starts double flashing (pairing mode). -
Perform the pairing procedure on the BLUETOOTH device to detect the speaker.
When a list of detected devices appears on the display of the BLUETOOTH device, select “SRS-XP700” or “SRS-XP500.”
If a passkey* is required on the display of the BLUETOOTH device, enter “0000.”
* The passkey may be called a “passcode,” “PIN code,” “PIN number,” or “password.”
-
Make the BLUETOOTH connection from the BLUETOOTH device.
When the BLUETOOTH connection is established, you hear voice guidance (BLUETOOTH connected) from the speaker and the activity of the
(BLUETOOTH) indicator changes from flashing to lit.If the BLUETOOTH connection is not established, repeat from step
.

Hint
-
As long as the BLUETOOTH function is activated on a BLUETOOTH device that has previously been connected with the speaker, the speaker is reconnected with the device right after it is turned on.
-
The above instructions on the BLUETOOTH device are provided as an example. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the BLUETOOTH device.
-
The speaker is capable of keeping up to 2 BLUETOOTH devices connected concurrently. When playback starts on one device while music playback is in progress on the other, the speaker switches the audio source from the latter to the former and starts outputting sound from the switched source device (Multi-device connection).
Note
-
For Apple iOS devices, the speaker is compatible with iOS 10.0 or later. A BLUETOOTH connection is not available on the devices with iOS 9.x or earlier.
-
The pairing mode of the speaker is released after about 5 minutes and the
(BLUETOOTH) indicator flashes slowly. However, when the speaker has no pairing information, such as at the factory settings, the pairing mode is not released. If the pairing mode is released before finishing the process, repeat from step. -
The passkey of the speaker is “0000.” If a passkey besides “0000” is set on the BLUETOOTH device, pairing cannot be done with the speaker.
-
Once the BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need to pair them again, except in the following cases:
-
Pairing information has been deleted after repair, etc.
-
The speaker is already paired with 8 devices and another device is to be paired.
The speaker can be paired with up to 8 devices. If a new device is paired after 8 devices have already been paired, the device that was paired earliest is replaced by the new one.
-
The pairing information of the speaker has been deleted from the BLUETOOTH device.
-
The speaker is initialized.
All pairing information will be deleted. If you initialize the speaker, it may not be able to connect your BLUETOOTH device. In this case, erase the pairing information of the speaker on your BLUETOOTH device, and then perform the pairing procedure again.
-
-
The speaker can be paired with multiple devices, but can only play music from one paired device at a time.
-
When using the Stereo Pair function or Party Connect function, you cannot use the multi-device connection.
