Ultimate Ears BLAST - User Manual

Ultimate Ears speaker Bluetooth display name
If you connect your speaker to your device through Bluetooth, the display name
in your device’s Bluetooth devices list will be either BLAST or MEGABLAST.
Once you’ve connected, you can change the name of your speaker from the app.
With the speaker connected, open the app and in the top right, tap the gear icon.
You can then change the name of your speaker by tapping on the Speaker Name
field.
Is the Ultimate Ears app needed to connect through Bluetooth?
You can connect to Bluetooth directly, but we recommend using the app for the
best experience. You’ll also need the app to connect to WiFi, use Alexa and
update your firmware.
Do I need to sign into Amazon?
Your Amazon account is used to sign you into Alexa. It’s how Alexa distinguishes
you from someone else and how your information is protected from others. Each
time you make a request to Alexa, she’ll retrieve the most relevant information
based on your Amazon account information.
Connecting to WiFi
To connect your speaker to WiFi, you’ll need the Ultimate Ears app. The app will
walk you through the initial setup of your speaker which includes connecting to
WiFi. The app will also allow you to connect to a different WiFi network if you
bring your speaker outside of your network.
Issues during Amazon login
If you’re having issues logging into Amazon during setup, check the following:
 Make sure that your password and email address match — you can try
logging in on www.amazon.com to test your login information.
 If you don’t have an Amazon account, you can create one for free at
