By default the Soundlink runs in low power mode with bluetooth disabled. To configure the Soundlink turn on wireless connect from the menu.
Connect to a new device #
A new device must be paired using a passkey before it can be used.
1. Enable pairing mode #
Unlock the menu and select the 2nd option: Pairing mode.
The Soundlink will say “Ready to Connect” and the blue LED will pulse every 4 to 6 seconds. The pulsing LED indicates bluetooth is enabled.
The Soundlink will repeat “Ready to Connect” every 60 seconds while it is advertising for a connection. When there is an active connection the Soundlink will stop repeating “Ready to Connect”, and the blue LED will continue to pulse.
2. Connect and enter passkey #
Use the connect screen from an Insight or Stratos, or the Deep and Steep app from your phone. Search for devices named “Soundlink” and connect to your device.
The Soundlink will speak a 6 digit passkey. Enter this passkey to pair the devices.
Connect to a saved (paired) device #
After a new device is paired it will be saved in the Soundlink for future use. The next time you need to connect and change settings on the Soundlink, use the 1st menu option called “Wireless Connect”.
1. Enable wireless connect (bluetooth) #
Unlock the menu and select the 1st option: Wireless Connect.
The Soundlink will say “Ready to Connect” and the blue LED will pulse every 4 to 6 seconds. The pulsing LED indicates bluetooth is enabled.
The Soundlink will repeat “Ready to Connect” every 60 seconds while it is advertising for a connection. When there is an active connection the Soundlink will stop repeating “Ready to Connect”, and the blue LED will continue to pulse.
2. Connect from Insight or app #
Use the connect screen from an Insight or Stratos, or the Deep and Steep app from your phone. Find the saved Soundlink device and connect. Since the Soundlink was previously paired, no passkey is required.
Disconnect / Disable Bluetooth #
To disconnect using the Soundlink and turn off bluetooth to save power, select the “Wireless Connect” or “Pairing Mode” option from the menu.
The Soundlink will say “Wireless Connect Off” or “Pairing Mode Off”. The blue LED will stop pulsing.
At this point the Soundlink will no longer accept connections and bluetooth is turned off to save power.
