Instructions for use

Charging the battery

The Pocket Hive has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery. Make sure the

Pocket Hive is switched o. Connect one end of the micro USB charge cable to

the micro USB charge port (4) on the Pocket Hive and connect the other end to

your PC or USB mains adaptor. The battery will start charging.

• It takes up to 3 hours to fully charge the battery

• Whilst charging, the LED indicator (2) will ash red

• When fully charged, the LED indicator (2) will turn o

the Pocket Hive o, press and hold the MFB (1) for 3 seconds whilst it is on

– The Pocket Hive will automatically turn o if not used for 15 minutes in

Bluetooth mode

– The base on the Pocket Hive is designed to create extra bass by sending

vibrations into the surface it is placed on. Naturally resonant surfaces will

provide the best eect. If the sticky mat on the bottom loses its ‘stick’ simply

wipe with a damp cloth to remove any residues

4. Place your phone next to the NFC symbol (6) and a prompt should appear

saying ‘Pair with Bluetooth device Pocket Hive?’ (or similar)

5. Press ‘Yes’ and your device will then pair and connect to the Pocket Hive

try moving the device around until the NFC is picked up. If using a case on your

device, this may obstruct the NFC from working.

last paired device. Simply delete ‘POCKET HIVE’ from the list of Bluetooth

devices on your device and re-pair.

Playing audio wirelessly

4. To play or pause the selected track, use the controls on your device or press

twice. Previous track can only be controlled using your device

6. The volume can be adjusted using only your device

Note: Track control functions from the MFB (1) on the Pocket Hive will require

your device to have Bluetooth prole AVRCP. Please check your device’s

manual if unsure.

Using the aux audio input

1. With the Pocket Hive turned on, insert the 3.5 mm audio cable into the aux input

(3) on the Pocket Hive

2. The LED indicator (2) will turn solid purple and any active Bluetooth connection

will disconnect

3. Plug the other end of the aux cable into the audio/headphone output on a MP3

player or other audio source

4. Audio played through the connected device will now be heard through the

speaker

5. The volume can be adjusted on your device only

Note: The MFB (1) does not operate in aux input mode.

Using the aux audio output

If you have more than one Pocket Hive speaker (or any other speaker with an aux

input) you can connect them together for a bigger sound. To do this:

–Connect your device to the Pocket Hive via Bluetooth or the aux input (3)

– Connect an aux cable (not supplied) from the aux output (5) on the Pocket

Hive speaker to the aux input on another speaker

If the second speaker also has an aux output, you can then connect a third

speaker. You can continue chaining speakers together for as long as you like.

Connecting Pocket Hive’s together will create the best eect as the sound

quality/volume will match.

Note: To help prevent phase cancellation, it is recommended to have the speakers

around 1 m apart from each other.

PLEASE NOTE:

Your device will have an internal amplier and if it is playing digital les like MP3s

it will also have an integrated DAC (Digital Audio Converter). If you turn up the

volume to 100%, your device will be sending distorted signals to the Pocket Hive.

To avoid this and to get the best sound quality from the speaker, we recommend

that you do not run your device any higher than 95% volume.

Call-handling

Answer a call

– When a call comes through, the Pocket Hive will play a ringtone. Press the MFB

(1) to answer the call

End call

– During a call, press the MFB (1) to end the call

Note: If using an Android phone, you can disable the hands free function.

To do this:

1. Go to your device’s Bluetooth menu and press the settings icon next to

‘POCKET HIVE’

2. Uncheck the ‘Call Audio’ box

Calls are now controlled and played through the phone as normal.
