The Fender Newport Bluetooth Speaker is a portable audio device designed to deliver high-quality sound in a compact, stage-ready style. Drawing on Fender's rich heritage in musical technology, this speaker is built to provide crystal-clear, powerful sound, whether at home or in the office. Its design incorporates classic Fender aesthetics, making it not just an audio device but also a stylish accessory.
The primary function of the Fender Newport is to act as a portable Bluetooth speaker, allowing users to stream audio wirelessly from their devices. It features a robust sound system, including woofers and tweeters, to ensure a full and balanced audio experience. Beyond wireless audio streaming, the Newport also offers an auxiliary input for wired connections, expanding its compatibility with various audio sources.
A key feature of the Newport is its integrated microphone and talk button, enabling it to function as a speakerphone for hands-free calls. This allows users to answer, reject, and end phone calls directly through the speaker, seamlessly integrating communication with audio playback.
The speaker is also capable of charging external audio devices via its USB port, adding a practical utility for users on the go. This means that while enjoying music, users can also keep their smartphones or other USB-powered devices charged, reducing the need for multiple power adapters.
The Fender Newport is designed for intuitive and user-friendly operation.
To turn on the speaker, the user first turns the VOLUME control down to its lowest setting. Then, the power switch, located on the top panel, is flipped to the "ON" position. An audio cue confirms that the speaker has powered on. To turn off the speaker, the power switch is simply flipped to the "OFF" position.
The speaker features a dedicated VOLUME control knob, allowing users to precisely adjust the audio output level. This analog control provides a tactile and responsive way to manage loudness.
For sound customization, the Newport includes separate TREBLE and BASS control knobs. These allow users to fine-tune the high and low frequencies of their audio, tailoring the sound profile to their personal preferences or the acoustics of their environment.
To connect a device via Bluetooth, the user presses the PAIR button on the top panel. The speaker enters pairing mode, indicated by a visual cue (likely the pilot light flashing). On their audio device, the user then selects "Fender Newport" from the list of available Bluetooth devices to establish a connection. Once paired, the user can play music wirelessly.
When an incoming call is received, the TALK button on the speaker lights up green, signaling an active call. To answer the call, the user presses the TALK button once. To reject an incoming call, the user presses and holds the TALK button. To end an active call, the TALK button is pressed again. The integrated microphone ensures clear communication during calls.
For devices without Bluetooth capability or for a wired connection, the Newport provides a 1/8" AUX IN port. Users can connect their audio device to this input using a standard 1/8" auxiliary cable. This allows for playback from a wide range of sources, such as MP3 players, laptops, or older audio equipment.
The USB port on the speaker allows users to charge their audio devices. By connecting a USB charging cable from their device to the speaker's USB port, users can utilize the speaker's battery to power up their portable electronics.
The Fender Newport is designed for straightforward maintenance to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
The speaker is charged using the provided AC power adapter. The adapter is connected to the DC power inlet on the speaker. A steady red light on the speaker indicates that it is charging. This visual cue helps users monitor the charging status.
The manual specifies that the apparatus should be cleaned only with a dry cloth. This prevents damage to electronic components and ensures the exterior finish is maintained.
Proper ventilation is crucial for the speaker's performance and lifespan. Users should ensure that ventilation openings are not blocked and that the speaker is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Maintaining at least 6 inches (15.25 cm) of unobstructed air space behind the unit is recommended for proper ventilation and cooling.
Users are advised to protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits the apparatus. This helps prevent damage to the cord, which could lead to electrical hazards or malfunction.
When not in use for long periods or during lightning storms, the speaker should be unplugged. It should not be exposed to rain or moisture, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the equipment. These precautions help prevent damage and ensure safety.
The speaker contains an internal battery. Users are warned against exposing the battery or the product to excessive heat, such as sunshine or fire. If the battery is incorrectly connected or replaced, there is a danger of explosion; only the same or equivalent type battery specified in the instructions should be used. In case of battery overheating, the PAIR, TALK, and JEWEL lights will flash simultaneously. In such an event, the user should immediately turn off the power, disconnect the Newport from the charger, and contact Fender for a product replacement.
All servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required if the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as a damaged power-supply cord or plug, spilled liquid, fallen objects, exposure to rain or moisture, abnormal operation, or if it has been dropped. This ensures that any repairs are performed correctly and safely.
The Fender Newport Bluetooth Speaker combines Fender's legacy of sound engineering with modern portable audio features, offering a versatile and high-quality listening experience with practical functionalities for everyday use.
