Do you have a question about the Jam Alloy HX-P560 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document describes the Jam Alloy device, a portable audio system with Bluetooth connectivity and a focus on user-friendly operation. The device offers a range of features designed for convenience, including quick charging, speakerphone capabilities, and intuitive controls for audio playback and volume.
The Jam Alloy is primarily a portable Bluetooth speaker, allowing users to stream audio wirelessly from compatible devices such as smartphones, tablets, or computers. It features a built-in speakerphone function, enabling hands-free calling when connected to a phone. The device is designed for easy portability, making it suitable for use in various settings, both indoors and outdoors. Its core function is to provide a reliable and high-quality audio experience with the added benefit of communication capabilities.
To connect the Jam Alloy via Bluetooth, users need to press and hold the power button for three seconds to turn the device on. Once powered on, the device automatically enters pairing mode, indicated by a flashing blue LED. Users then select "Jam Alloy" from their device's Bluetooth menu to establish the connection. If a passcode is required, "0000" should be entered. The device can also be manually put into pairing mode by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button for three seconds.
The Jam Alloy offers standard audio playback controls. Users can play or pause tracks by pressing the play/pause button. To skip to the next track, the "Next Track" button should be pressed. To go back to the previous track, the "Previous Track" button is used. Volume adjustments are made using the volume up and volume down buttons. A short press on the volume up button increases the volume, while a short press on the volume down button decreases it. Holding these buttons down will continuously adjust the volume.
When a call comes in while the device is connected via Bluetooth, users can answer it by pressing the play/pause button. To end a call, the same button is pressed again. If a user wishes to decline an incoming call, they can press and hold the play/pause button for two seconds. This feature allows for hands-free communication, enhancing convenience during activities where holding a phone might be impractical.
The Jam Alloy features an automatic power-off function to conserve battery. If the device is left unpaired for two minutes, it will automatically shut down. Similarly, if it remains connected but inactive (no audio playback) for 15 minutes or more, it will also power off. This intelligent power management helps extend battery life and ensures the device is not left on unnecessarily.
The device is charged via a micro-USB cable. A red LED indicator illuminates when the device is charging, and it turns off once the battery is full. It is recommended to charge the device for at least 4 hours before its first use to ensure optimal battery performance. Regular charging ensures the device is always ready for use.
