Altec Lansing LIFEJACKET XL Bluetooth Speaker Quick Start Guide

Altec Lansing LIFEJACKET XL Bluetooth Speaker

About Altec Lansing
Altec Lansing, Inc. is an American audio electronics company founded in 1927. Their primary products are loudspeakers and associated audio electronics for professional, home, automotive, and multimedia applications. Engineers at Western Electric, who later formed Altec Services Company, developed the technology for motion picture sound that was introduced in 1927, with the release of The Jazz Singer.

Originally, Altec Services Company serviced the theater sound systems the company founders had helped develop. In 1941, the Altec Services Company purchased the nearly bankrupt Lansing Manufacturing Company and melded the two names, forming the Altec Lansing Corporation, and with the manufacturing capabilities of the former Lansing Manufacturing Company, they quickly expanded into manufacturing horn loudspeakers.

Quick Start Guide

1. Make sure the following items are included in your package.
2. For a look at the various buttons on your speaker, view the graphic below.
3. Connect one end of the included USB Cable to the Micro USB charging port on your speaker. Plug the other end of the USB Cable into the included AC Adapter. Then plug the AC Adapter into a suitable power outlet in your home in order to charge your speaker’s internal battery. A full charge takes approximately 4 hours.
   Charging: When charging, an orange LED light will illuminate. The orange light will turn off when your speaker is fully charged.
4. Pairing Your Speaker with a Bluetooth Device
   • Powering on your LifeJacket XL Speaker and Entering Pairing Mode: When you power on your LifeJacket XL speaker for the first time, it will automatically go into pairing mode. The LED status light will flash rapidly as your speaker searches
     for a Bluetooth audio source to pair with.
   • Using Near Field Communication to Pair Your Speaker with a Bluetooth Audio Source With Near Field Communication (NFC), you can easily pair and connect your speaker to a compatible audio source. Once your speaker is powered on and in pairing mode, just hold your NFC-enabled device directly against the wireless check-in spot on your speaker.
   • Pairing Your Speaker with a Bluetooth Phone Once your speaker is powered on and in pairing mode, go to the Bluetooth settings menu, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on, and then select “LifeJacket XL” to pair. Once you have successfully paired your speaker with a Bluetooth audio source, the LED status light will stop flashing rapidly, and begin shining steadily while remaining blue. In addition, your speaker will emit an audible tone to confirm that the pairing was successful.
   • Pairing Additional Bluetooth Devices to the LifeJacket XL Speaker
     By holding down the Volume + and Volume – buttons simultaneously, your speaker will again go
     into pairing mode. The LED status light will flash rapidly, as your speaker searches for another Bluetooth audio source to pair with.
     Note: Pairing mode times out in approximately three minutes.
5. By downloading the “ALTEC CONNECT” app (for iOS and Android) you can personalize your LifeJacket XL speaker. ALTEC CONNECT will allow you to:
   • Enable the Stereo Plus Pairing setting
   • Control Play/Pause/Skip/Volume/Mute
   • Get over-the-air software updates
   • Select EQ sound settings
6. You can also use the included 3.5mm Auxiliary Cable to connect audio devices through the AUX In port on your speaker

Using the Mount: The included mounting bracket allows you to attach your speaker to cylinder-shaped surfaces such as the handlebars of a bicycle or ATV, or the rails on a yacht. This bracket comes unassembled. To use it, first attach the pieces as shown below. Next connect your speaker by screwing it into your speaker’s tripod mount, and then attach the bracket to a suitable surface. Use the included wrench to help you loosen or tighten when necessary.
