    4) Charging the battery

    To start, make sure The OontZ Angle has a sufficient battery charge. To charge the Lithium Ion rechargeable battery in the OontZ Angle plug the micro connector end of the USB cable into the Micro “USB” Charging Port on the OontZ Angle and the other end into a USB charging source on either your Desktop, laptop or Smartphone USB wall Power Adapter 5V (not included). The Charging Indicator Light will glow blue, When the OontZ Angle battery is fully charged, the charging indicator light will turn to red. The OontZ Angle will take about 3 to 4 hours to fully charge.

    You can use your OontZ Angle when it is charging.

    Important Note: It is recommended that you remove the charging cable after the OontZ Angle is fully charged.

    **The OontZ Angle, when fully charged, has a play time of up to 10 hours, depending on volume.. The play time varies for a number of reasons including the volume (the louder the volume, the shorter the play time), device, connection, and music type.

    Please note: If your OontZ Angle fails to power on, it is possible that your speaker battery has been fully drained and needs to be recharged using a USB wall adapter (same adapter that comes with iPhone, smartphone, tablet, etc.). These adapters will have the sufficient charging power to bring it out of a drained state, some laptops will not have the USB charging power to do this. Laptops are fine for normal charging but may be inadequate for a drained battery. Please try charging overnight with a USB wall adapter.


     

    5) Pairing the OontZ Angle to your Bluetooth Device

    It is quick and easy to pair and wirelessly connect to your Bluetooth device by following these steps:

    Step 1 – Make sure your OontZ Angle has sufficient charge or connect to a charging source. Turn on the OontZ Angle, by sliding the“ON/OFF” Switch to the on position.

    Step 2 – Put the OontZ Angle into pairing mode by pressing and holding down the “Bluetooth symbol and phone icon” Button, for about 5 to 6 seconds, until the Pairing Indicator light on the front of the OontZ Angle is blue with flashing red. The blue light with flashing red indicates the OontZ Angle is in pairing mode.

    Step 3 – Enable the Bluetooth function on your device and then search/scan for the OontZ Angle. When the OontZ Angle appears on the list select it and your device will pair, connecting with the OontZ Angle. Very few devices will request a password, if your device does enter “0000” (four zeros).

    Step 4 – The Pairing Indicator light will switch to solid blue when the OontZ Angle is paired and connected. (Note: the OontZ Angle will exit pairing mode after about three minutes if not paired to a device)

    Step 5 – You can now wirelessly play your music or audio from videos, games and movies. You can use your device to control the audio and you can use the “VOL+” Button and the “VOL-” Button on the OontZ Angle to control the volume.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The OontZ Angle can only be connected to one device at a time. You will need to disconnect the first device from the OontZ Angle before trying to pair to another device: To disconnect a device from the OontZ Angle press and hold the “Bluetooth symbol and phone icon” Button for about 5 to 6 seconds until the Pairing Indicator light on the front of the front of the OontZ Angle is blue with flashing red. The blue light with flashing red indicates the device is disconnected and the OontZ Angle is in pairing mode.

    You can then pair and connect to the next device.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The OontZ Angle will automatically try to pair to the last connected device each time the OontZ Angle is turned on and that device is or comes within range. If the OontZ Angle successfully connects to the last device it will prevent any other device from pairing to it, until that device is disconnected. If you have multiple Bluetooth devices and you are not able to pair to a Bluetooth device, please check the other devices to see if the OontZ Angle has already connected to it. If the OontZ Angle is connected, please disconnect that device so the next device can be paired and connected.

The OontZ Angle may show up on the list of Bluetooth devices before it is even set up. Although, it may appear on the list you still need to go through the set up procedure on your system, before you pair to the OontZ Angle.

    If your MacBook or iPad or other laptop gives you an option during set up to choose Mono or Stereo, always choose Stereo.

    8) Connecting to non-Bluetooth (AUX-IN) devices

    For your device, laptop, tablet or PC that does not have Bluetooth or support for Bluetooth audio, you can connect and play music and audio by connecting your device to the “AUX IN” Jack on the OontZ Angle with the included 3.5mm audio cable.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: When in AUX IN mode the audio controls and the volume is controlled from the device only. In AUX IN mode the “VOL+” Button and the “VOL-” Button will not function on the OontZ Angle.

    Also Note: When you plug the 3.5mm audio cable into the AUX IN jack of the OontZ Angle it will take priority over Bluetooth and a Bluetooth device will not be able to play audio. You will need to remove the 3.5mm audio cable from the OontZ Angle to play audio from a Bluetooth device
