Attaching the Lanyard
- Slide the smaller lanyard loop through one of the lanyard attachment holes at the top of the speaker.
- Slide the larger lanyard loop through the smaller loop that has passed through the attachment hole.
- Pull the larger loop completely through the smaller loop to fasten the lanyard.
The lanyard is not for use by children under 6 years of age, as small parts can present a choking hazard.
Connectors & Built-in Mic
The AUX IN jack and USB Type-C charging connector are located under a rubber flap, along with the built-in mic for Alexa, Siri, and speakerphone.
Pull the rubber flap gently from the top to access the connectors; it is a snug fit as part of the waterproofing.
Important: The rubber flap must be closed before exposing the speaker to water; it is not waterproof when the flap is open.
Battery & Charging
The rechargeable battery comes partially charged and is ready to play. For maximum playtime, fully charge it. You can play while charging.
Insert the small end of the Type-C cable into the charging connector (it only inserts one way; do not force it) and the larger end into a UL-listed 5V/1.0A to 5V/2.4A maximum USB wall charger or a laptop USB port. A low battery takes up to 5 hours to fully charge.
When the battery drops below 15%, the Red light flashes rapidly and the volume decreases to preserve charge.
Power Saving Feature: On battery power, the speaker turns off after 30 minutes of no audio. When plugged in it stays on until you turn it off. Certain Amazon Echo devices disable this feature.
Important: When plugged in to charge, never use the speaker in the shower, bath, or near water to prevent risk of electric shock.
Turning On & Off
To turn on: press and release the Power button. The Red light turns on for 3 seconds then off, and the Blue light turns on.
To turn off: press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds; the Blue light turns off.
Pairing & Connecting
Turn on the speaker. Flashing blue means it is ready to pair; solid blue means a device is connected.
On your device, go to Settings > Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is on, and select 'OontZAngle3Showerxxx' (xxx is 3 characters unique to your speaker). A quiet chime confirms connection.
The speaker connects to one device at a time and lets the last device reconnect automatically when in range. To switch devices, press and hold the Bluetooth button for 5 seconds to disconnect, then pair the new device.
Your device must be within 100 unobstructed feet. For Amazon Echo, reconnect by saying 'Alexa, connect my speaker'.

Press and release the Bluetooth button; the blue light turns green and flashes 3 times. Wait about two seconds for a chime, then speak to Siri through the mic. Your iPhone or iPad must run the latest iOS.

Make sure both ends are fully inserted.
Important: Bluetooth (and the Alexa function) is disabled when a 3.5mm audio cable is connected. The rubber flap must be closed before exposing the speaker to water.
IPX7 Waterproof
