The JLab Audio Crasher Slim is a portable Bluetooth speaker designed for on-the-go audio. It offers a blend of wireless convenience, versatile connectivity, and robust support features, making it suitable for a variety of listening environments.

Function Description:

The Crasher Slim primarily functions as a wireless audio speaker, connecting to devices via Bluetooth for streaming music, podcasts, and other audio content. It also includes an AUX IN port, allowing for wired connections to devices that may not have Bluetooth capabilities. The speaker features integrated controls for power, Bluetooth pairing, play/pause, answering/hanging up calls, volume adjustment, and track navigation. A built-in microphone enables hands-free calling when connected to a smartphone. The device is designed for portability, indicated by its "Slim" designation, suggesting a compact and lightweight form factor.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like frequency response, driver size, or battery capacity are not explicitly detailed in the provided manual, several operational aspects can be inferred:

• Connectivity: Bluetooth wireless technology and a 3.5mm AUX IN port.
• Wireless Range: The Bluetooth connection is sensitive to objects and is designed to be used within 33 feet (10 meters) of a connected device, ideally without major obstructions like walls.
• Power: The device is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery, charged via a Micro USB cable. It requires a 5V power adaptor for wall charging.
• Temperature: The maximum working temperature is 95°F/35°C.
• Audio Priority: When both Bluetooth and AUX IN are connected, the Crasher Slim prioritizes AUX playback. It will revert to Bluetooth audio once the 3.5mm device is disconnected.

Usage Features:

  1. Press and hold the Power Button for 8+ seconds to turn on the speaker and initiate pairing mode.
  2. Turn on Bluetooth in your device settings.
  3. Select "Crasher Slim" from the list of available devices. The speaker's light will blink blue during pairing and turn solid blue once connected.
  • The Crasher Slim automatically enters Bluetooth pairing mode upon startup.
• Automatic Reconnection: Once successfully connected, the speaker memorizes the device and automatically pairs with it in the future when turned on.
• Single Device Connection: Only one device can be connected via Bluetooth at a time. To pair a different device, the current one must be unpaired through its Bluetooth settings.
• Manual Reconnection: If the Bluetooth connection is lost, users can manually reconnect via their device's Bluetooth settings.
• Controls:
  • Power ON/OFF: Press and hold for 2+ seconds.
  • Bluetooth Pairing: (See First Time Setup)

  • Volume -: Single click.

  • Track Forward: Press and hold for 2+ seconds.
• AUX IN Function:
  • Connect a 3.5mm AUX cable (not included) from the audio output terminal of your device (e.g., mobile phone, computer, MP3 player) to the AUX IN port on the Crasher Slim.
  • The speaker will automatically switch to AUX playback if a wired connection is detected while Bluetooth is also active.
• Charging:
  1. It is recommended to turn off the Crasher Slim before charging.
  2. Connect the provided Micro USB cable to the Crasher Slim and a computer or a 5V wall power adaptor.
  3. The indicator light on the side of the Crasher Slim will turn red during charging and turn off when charging is complete.
  • For optimum performance, it is recommended to charge the device overnight prior to first use.
• Warm-Up (Burn-in):
  • JLab Audio recommends 40 hours of "burn-in" time for speakers to reach optimal performance. This process helps loosen the diaphragm of a new speaker and stress the speaker driver.
  • Users can burn-in their audio equipment using the JLab Audio app (available on App Store and Google Play) or by visiting jlabaudio.com/burnin.

Maintenance Features:

• Warranty: JLab Audio offers a limited two-year warranty. Users can register their product at jlabaudio.com/register. All warranty claims require JLab Audio authorization and proof of purchase.
• Satisfaction Guarantee: Merchandise can be exchanged or returned within 30 days of the purchase date. More information is available at jlabaudio.com/guarantee.
• Customer Support: JLab Audio provides U.S.-based customer support. Users can contact them at support@jlabaudio.com or visit jlabaudio.com/contact.
• General Cautions:
  • Listen at a suitable volume to prevent hearing and speaker system damage.
  • Store in a well-ventilated area.
  • Do not expose the speaker or accessories to rain, water drops, or moisture to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock.
  • Keep the unit away from open flames (e.g., fire, candles).
  • Avoid extreme heat, cold, and humidity.
  • Use only manufacturer-specified attachments/accessories.
  • Do not drop objects into the unit's openings.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
  • Ensure proper ventilation; do not cover or block slots and openings with cloth or other materials.
  • Battery Disposal: Lithium batteries are recyclable and should not be disposed of in normal household waste. Contact local government for disposal and recycling practices.

The Crasher Slim emphasizes user-friendly operation with its straightforward pairing process, intuitive controls, and versatile connectivity options. The inclusion of a burn-in recommendation highlights JLab Audio's focus on optimizing audio performance over time, while comprehensive warranty and support services underscore their commitment to customer satisfaction.
