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.

CONNECTING:

The two devices 

do something 

together (like play 

music).

“Hi. i’m a 

phone.”

This guide takes you through the steps to get 

started.

 jack 

on the back of the speaker. 
Plug the other end of 

the USB charging cable 

into a power source, like 

a computer or a USB 

charging adapter. 

The charging indicator on the back of the 

speaker is red while the speaker is charging. 

It turns green when the speaker is fully charged. 

Note:

 You can use the speaker while it’s charging.

Bluetooth pairing mode 
to set up with your 
smartphone.

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”.

Choose 

808 Hex NRG

 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.

To adjust the volume of your audio:

 Use the 

volume controls on your phone.

Set your device’s volume for 
music to 75%. 

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.
