OPERATING THE BLUETOOTH TRANSMITTER
POWERING UP THE BLUETOOTH

noise).
2. Before hooking up your device, take a moment to go over what the
different LED light signals mean:

cannot connect

connect
c.
Solid light:
indicates connection, your device is connected
PAIRING A DEVICE
1. Press the pairing button (it will acknowledge pairing mode with a beep)
this mode will last 90 seconds. If no device is paired within the 90
seconds, the Bluetooth will enter sleep mode.
2. When the Bluetooth module is in pairing mode, it is discoverable and
will show up on the selection list of your Bluetooth enabled device.
3. Select the Bluetooth titled “Anchor Audio” to pair your device with the
Anchor Audio Sound System.
4. If a previously paired device is in range and discoverable, the unit
should automatically make a connection, however this may depend on
your individual device.
5. When the device has successfully connected to the Bluetooth, the
Bluetooth module will beep to signify connection and the Blue LED will
become solid.
6. Now you can play audio from your Bluetooth device to the Anchor Audio
Portable Sound System. You can adjust volume by using the Bluetooth
module’s knob, as well as the volume control on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the range of Anchor Audio Bluetooth?
The Anchor Audio Bluetooth range is 100 ft. line of sight.
My Sound System is auto-connecting to a device, but I don’t know which one. Can
I disconnect directly from the Sound System?
Yes, if your unit is auto-connecting to a device that you cannot identify (because for example,
you’re in a room with other people who have connected to the unit in the past), you may
need to manually disconnect that pair from the Sound System itself. Just hold the ‘pairing’
button for two seconds, and the Sound System will disconnect from the device it is currently
connected to, and immediately go into pairing mode.
What kind of modes can my phone be in that allow the Bluetooth connection to
still work?
Bluetooth will work in modes such as Airplane mode and Do Not Disturb (or the equivalent).
Just be sure to still have your Bluetooth setting turned on. To simplify the process, put your
phone in the desired mode first, and then secure the Bluetooth connection, as moving into
these modes may cause disconnection.
What happens if I get a phone call?
Incoming and outgoing calls should pause the audio stream. The audio from the call should
not be transmitted via Bluetooth. To avoid interrupting audio, set device in Airplane mode,
then enable Bluetooth, ensure your connected, and you should not encounter any interrup-
tions in your audio stream.
*Bluetooth connection and behavior may depend on your individual device settings and capabilities, all testing was
done using an Apple iPhone.
