Connect to your V5US using Bluetooth
In addition to a variety of WiFi streaming technologies, your V5US is equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology. While we recognize that most V5US customers will
use WiFi, we believe that Bluetooth comes in handy in a number of instances:
Since it does not require a WiFi router, you can stream music using Bluetooth when
you are outside the range of a router (e.g., on the patio) or when you vacation in a
location where WiFi is not available or the available WiFi is encumbered with firewalls
and other security protocols that prevent it's use or, due to limited bandwidth and
heavy traffic (e.g., hotels, work places), WiFi's quality of service is severely constrained.
Visitors, guests and household members may use devices that are not equipped with
AirPlay or Play-Fi. Nearly all recently developed devices that can store and play music
are quipped with Bluetooth technology. Moreover, those devices equipped with aptX
Bluetooth will enjoy WiFi-like lossless fidelity.

Pairing with your V5US
Pairing occurs when two Bluetooth devices "communicate" with each other and create a
connection. The Wren V5US can "remember" the last six Bluetooth devices that have
paired with it. For best results, have your Bluetooth source device near your V5US.
Note: Your V5US will automatically enter pairing mode the first time you select Bluetooth as your source.
The following directions are for all subsequent pairings. If you are setting up the speaker for the first time,
start with step 3 below.
Make sure your Bluetooth source
device and the V5US are both
turned on and the Bluetooth
mode is selected as the source
on your V5US.
Press the setup button on the
rear of your V5US
until
(Figure 1)
the Bluetooth source indicator
blinks amber once every second
. This will place the
(Figure 2)
V5US into "discoverable"
mode.
In the Bluetooth control section
of your source device, place the
source device into "discovery"
mode. V5US14_xxxxxx should
appear on the list of devices that
can be paired.
