Preparing Your UE Boom
===============
Before you start using your UE Boom, it’s essential to prepare it for action. After all, you wouldn’t want to start a road trip without filling up your gas tank, right?
Powering On and Off
To power on your UE Boom, simply hold down the power button until the LED lights up and the device starts streaming music. Easy peasy!
On the flip side, to power off your UE Boom, press and hold the power button for about 2-3 seconds until the device shuts down. This will help conserve battery life and prevent any accidental plays.
Checking Battery Level and Charging
Wondering how much juice your UE Boom has left in the tank? No worries! You can easily check the battery level by looking at the UE Boom’s LED lights. A solid blue light indicates a fully charged battery, while a flashing blue light means it’s time to recharge.
To charge your UE Boom, simply plug it into a USB port using the included charging cable. It’s a good idea to keep the charging cable with your UE Boom at all times, just in case you need to top it up on the go.
Downloading and Installing the UE Boom App
Now that your UE Boom is all set up, it’s time to download and install the UE Boom app on your smartphone or tablet. This app allows you to control your UE Boom, access settings, and even get exclusive features and updates.
To download the app, head to your device’s app store (such as the App Store or Google Play Store), search for “UE Boom,” and follow the prompts to install it. Once installed, launch the app and follow the in-app instructions to connect your UE Boom and start exploring its features!
Connecting UE Boom to Your Device
Connecting your UE Boom to your device is a straightforward process that requires a few simple steps. Before you begin, make sure that your device has Bluetooth capabilities and is turned on. If you’re not sure how to do this, don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it.
Turning Bluetooth On and Off
The first thing you need to do is turn on the Bluetooth feature on your device. This will allow your device to detect other Bluetooth devices in range. To do this, go to your device’s settings and look for the Bluetooth option. It might be labeled as “Bluetooth” or “Wireless & networks.” Once you’ve located the option, toggle the switch to turn Bluetooth on. You should see a notification or a button that says “Turn on Bluetooth” or “Enable Bluetooth.”
Searching for Available Devices
Now that Bluetooth is turned on, your device is ready to search for available devices. This might take a few seconds, depending on your device’s capabilities and the strength of the signal. When your device has finished searching, you’ll see a list of available devices appear on the screen. Look for the UE Boom device, which will be listed as “UE Boom” or “UE Boom speaker.”
Selecting the UE Boom from Your Device’s List
Once you’ve located the UE Boom device in the list, select it by tapping on the device name. Your device will then connect to the UE Boom, and you should see a notification indicating that the connection has been established. If you’re having trouble finding the UE Boom device, make sure that it’s turned on and in range of your device. You can also try restarting both devices to see if that resolves the issue.
