PLACEMENT
Small Conference Room
Position the speaker in the center of the table, up to a distance of 6’/ 2m from each participant. A single Aura Conference Speaker is ideal for up to 6 people.
On a Desk
When using the speaker at your desk we recommend you use the stand on the underside of the unit. This will better direct the sound towards you and will provide more low-end audio.
CHARGING
USB Charging
Plug the Speaker into a USB power source using the attached USB cable. The battery supplies up to 15 hours of talk time and takes about 3 hours to fully charge.
Automatic Power Off
To preserve battery life while the unit is unplugged, the Speaker will automatically power off when it has not been connected to a power source for 15 minutes.
Battery Status
To view the current battery status, press the Battery Status button. This will turn on the LED light. When the battery is full, the LED lights Green; when the battery is medium, the Blue LED lights; when the battery is low, the Red LED shows. The Red LED will flash in the case of a very low battery.
CONNECTING
Connect to a Computer – PC/Mac
Using the cable on the Speaker, plug the Speaker into a USB port on your PC/Mac. You may have to select the Speaker as the speaker as the output device and the mic as input device.
Connect to a Smartphone
Hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds and follow the voice-guided instructions to pair to your smartphone. The Bluetooth range is about 33’ (10m).
To disconnect or reconnect, double tap the Bluetooth button again.
The buttons are backlit and only visible when the Speaker is powered on. After 20 seconds of inactivity the buttons will fade, and can be reactivated by tapping the area where the buttons are located.
