Out of Range or Lost Signal

If the music device is out of range (beyond 30 feet) of the unit or if there is something blocking the Bluetooth

signal, the LED light will flash slowly to indicate that the Bluetooth connection with the music device has been

lost.

To avoid a lost connection:

1. Move the music device back into range (within 30 feet), and/or make sure there’s a clear line of sight

between the unit and the Bluetooth device.

“Reconnecting Your Device”.

NFC

To pair the IMW575 with NFC enabled devices, hold your NFC enabled phone directly against the IMW575's

“Wireless Check in for NFC” mark for 2 seconds. Once the pairing is successful, the speaker will make a sound

to confirm. (Some devices may ask for confirmation from the user.)

Charging a Smart Phone or other MP3 Players

If your smart phone or MP3 player is equipped with a charging cable that plugs into a USB connector, the

IMW575 can most likely charge your device. Plug the charging cable that came with your device into your

device and plug the USB connector into the back of the IMW575 (you will need to open the waterproof cover).

The IMW575 does not need to be plugged into a power outlet in order to recharge your device however, using

the IMW575 to recharge your device will reduce the battery life until the next time you recharge the IMW575.

Playing music from a non-Bluetooth device

The IMW575 includes a 3.5mm Auxiliary Cable. To listen to music from a non-Bluetooth device, plug on end of

this cable into the Aux In jack located on the back of the IMW575 (you will need to open the waterproof cover).

Plug the other end of the cable into the 3.5mm Headphone jack of your non-Bluetooth device. Set the volume

on the device to ¾ volume and begin playing music. Adjust the volume on the IMW575 to a suitable listening

level.

Waterproof Feature

The IMW575 has an IPX rating of 67 meaning it is waterproof at a depth of 3 feet or approximately 1 meter for

up to 30 minutes. You MUST have the waterproof cover on the back of the IMW575 closed and fully sealed to

achieve this level of waterproof. Failure to do this voids the warranty.
