Initial Setup:

Before first use, charge the Acoustix using the included charging cable and wall outlet adapter or a computer's USB port. The red LED under the grille indicates charging, turning green when fully charged. To power on, press and hold the POWER button for several seconds. The unit defaults to Bluetooth mode, indicated by a flashing blue LED. Language selection: The default language is English. To change to French or Spanish, hold the PLAY-PAUSE button for 5 seconds, use VOLUME-UP/DOWN to select, and confirm with the POWER button or by leaving idle for 10 seconds. The display screen dims after 3 minutes of inactivity to conserve power. The unit powers off if it does not receive a signal for 10 minutes.

Bluetooth Pairing and Operation:

To pair, turn on Acoustix by holding the POWER button for three seconds. It will automatically enter pairing mode with a blinking blue LED. On your smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled device, ensure Bluetooth is on and select "Acoustix" from the list of available devices. The blue LED will glow steady for a few seconds, then blink every 10 seconds to confirm connection. During initial pairing, you may be prompted to allow Acoustix access to your contacts. Granting this permission enables caller names to display on the screen; otherwise, the phone number will be shown. Use your device's music app to play audio. Use the PLAY-PAUSE button to pause, VOLUME-UP/DOWN to adjust volume, and RIGHT/LEFT ARROW buttons to navigate songs. To pair an additional device, press and hold the Mode button for 5 seconds until the blue LED blinks, then follow the pairing procedure. To un-pair all devices, hold the MODE button for 12 seconds until two long tones are heard, and Acoustix will re-enter pairing mode.

FM Radio Operation:

With Acoustix powered on, press the MODE button until "Radio" is shown on the display.

  • Manual FM Tuning: Press and hold either RIGHT ARROW or LEFT ARROW buttons to scan frequencies.
  • Searching: Press either RIGHT ARROW or LEFT ARROW buttons briefly to search for the next available station (display shows Scan>>> or <<<Scan).
  • Preset Stations: To save a station, manually select it, then press the PLAY-PAUSE button briefly to enter Preset mode. Use RIGHT/LEFT ARROW buttons to select a preset number (1-10), then press and hold PLAY-PAUSE for several seconds to save. The station will mute briefly to confirm.
  • To select an existing preset, press PLAY-PAUSE briefly to enter Preset mode, use RIGHT/LEFT ARROW buttons to select the desired preset, then press PLAY-PAUSE again to confirm.

Auxiliary Operation:

With Acoustix powered off, plug one end of a 1/8-inch stereo mini-jack cable (not included) into the Auxiliary-in port under the access door, and the other end into the headphone jack of your audio device. Power on Acoustix and press the MODE button until "Aux in" is displayed. Power on the auxiliary device and begin playing audio. In Auxiliary mode, only volume can be adjusted on Acoustix; all other operations (pause, tuning, track selection) must be performed from the connected auxiliary device.

Phone Operation:

When paired to a smartphone, incoming calls will ring through Acoustix. The caller's phone number or name (if in your contacts and enabled) will be displayed.
