Pairing
When powered on, your RAK'D speaker will automatically pair to the last device it was connected to- as long as it's within range.
To pair a new device to your speaker, it must be switched into pairing mode. To do this, press the power button 3 times. Your speaker will say "pairing" and the ring light will illuminate blue. When a new device is connected, speaker will say "connected".
*Note- If phone has previously been paired with speaker, speaker will not say "connected" when the phone is connected.
Party Mode
Overview
Party mode allows multiple speakers to be linked together via Bluetooth. In this mode, the Leader speaker will transmit music to the Follower speakers.
*Note- Since all music is transmitted from the Leader speaker, it is not necessary to have a phone paired to the Follower speakers. If a phone is paired to the Follower speakers, the Leader speaker will take priority when linked in Party Mode.
