Connecting via Bluetooth

Automatic connection

If a Bluetooth-connected device moves out of range of the Acton Bluetooth (approximately 10 meters without obstacles), it disconnects.

The device automatically reconnects when it is back in range.

The Speaker stores up to six devices and tries to connect to the last connected Bluetooth device first.

For example, if the Speaker has connected to devices: A - B - C - D - E - F, device F has the first priority, while device A has the last priority .

Each time the Speaker is turned on, it will perform an automatic connection of the devices within its range.

Connecting via AUX

There is another way to connect your Acton Bluetooth: the old-fashioned way, using the included coiled cable and the 3.5 mm input.

Use the double-ended coiled cable with 3.5 mm plugs to connect to external audio sources.

  1. Make sure that the Acton Bluetooth is turned off.

  2. Connect the cable with the 3.5 mm stereo plug to the input labeled Input on the speaker.

  3. Connect the cable with the 3.5 mm stereo plug to the music player and turn on the speaker.

  4. Select Input as the source by pressing the Source button until the input indicator lights up.
