Remember, the cables might be packed underneath the cardboard insert, so don’t throw anything away until you’ve checked thoroughly. The packaging also serves to protect your speaker during shipping, so handle it with care.
Buttons and Connectors Overview
The OontZ Angle 3 features a user-friendly design with clearly labeled buttons and connectors. On the top of the speaker, you’ll typically find the power button, used to turn the device on and off, and the Bluetooth button, which is essential for pairing with your devices. Additionally, there are usually volume control buttons, allowing you to adjust the audio level. You’ll also find buttons for track navigation, letting you skip forward or backward through your playlist. These may also double as pause/play buttons. On the side, or back of the speaker, is the Micro USB port for charging the battery. Look for a 3.5mm audio input jack, which allows you to connect devices via a cable. A small LED indicator light is also present, displaying the speaker’s status, such as pairing mode or charging. Remember, the rubber flap covering the ports must be closed to maintain water resistance. Familiarizing yourself with these buttons and ports will allow you to take full advantage of the OontZ Angle 3’s functionalities. The placement of these controls might vary slightly depending on the model, so referring to the quick start guide will be helpful.
Charging the Battery⁚ Powering Up Your OontZ Angle 3
To ensure your OontZ Angle 3 is ready for use, proper charging is crucial. Locate the Micro USB charging port on the speaker, usually found under a protective rubber flap. This flap needs to be fully closed for the speaker to maintain its water resistance, but you will need to open it to connect the charging cable. Connect the smaller end of the provided Micro USB cable to the speaker and the larger end to a USB wall charger, like the ones used for smartphones, or to a USB port on your laptop or computer. The OontZ Angle 3 is compatible with chargers that are 5V, 1.0A up to 5V, 2.4A maximum. While charging, a red light indicator will usually turn on. Once the battery is fully charged, this red light will typically turn off, indicating the speaker is ready to go. The charging time can vary depending on the power source, but a full charge can take a few hours. The battery supports up to 20 hours of play time at 2/3 volume, though this will reduce at louder volumes. Remember to use only the provided USB cable or a similar high-quality cable to ensure optimal charging and avoid potential damage to the speaker. Always allow the speaker to charge fully before first use for maximum battery life.
Turning the Speaker On and Off⁚ Basic Operation
Operating your OontZ Angle 3 speaker is straightforward, and the power button is key to its basic functions. To turn the speaker on, simply locate the power button, usually on the top or side of the device, and press and release it. You should see a blue light illuminate, which indicates the speaker is powered on and ready for use. Initially, a red light may briefly appear before transitioning to the blue light. Conversely, to turn the speaker off, press and hold down the same power button for approximately two seconds. The light will turn off entirely, indicating that the device has successfully powered down. It’s important to ensure the speaker is completely off when not in use to conserve battery life. The OontZ Angle 3 is designed to be user-friendly, making the on/off process simple and intuitive. Remember that there is a power-saving feature, which is disabled if the speaker is connected to certain devices such as the Amazon Echo, which means it will remain on until turned off manually. Be aware of this, as it may drain the battery if the speaker is left on unintentionally.

OontZ Wireless Dual Stereo⁚ Connecting Two Speakers
The OontZ Angle 3 offers a fantastic feature called OontZ Wireless Dual Stereo, allowing you to connect two speakers for an enhanced audio experience. To begin, ensure both of your OontZ Angle 3 speakers are powered on and not connected to any Bluetooth devices. On one of the speakers, press and hold the Bluetooth button for about 5 seconds until the white and orange lights come on, which indicates it’s in dual stereo pairing mode. After a short moment, both speakers will automatically connect to each other and the white/orange light will become solid on both speakers to confirm a successful dual pairing. Now, you can connect your device, like a smartphone or tablet, to the primary speaker (the one that you initiated the dual pairing from) through Bluetooth. Once paired, audio will play simultaneously from both speakers, creating a wider, more immersive stereo soundstage. For optimal performance, place the speakers within 100 feet of each other without any obstructions, however, placing speakers on the ground or with walls between them will significantly reduce this range. When using Dual Stereo, both speakers will play in full stereo mode. To disconnect the speakers, press and hold the Bluetooth button on either of the speakers for a few seconds. Remember that this feature is specifically for connecting two OontZ Angle 3 speakers and does not support other speaker models.
Understanding the Lights and Indicators
The OontZ Angle 3 utilizes a series of lights and indicators to communicate its current status, making it easy to understand what your speaker is doing. When you power on the speaker, a blue light will illuminate after the initial red light turns off, signaling that the speaker is ready for use. If the blue light is flashing, it means that the speaker is in pairing mode and is searching for a device to connect to via Bluetooth. Once a connection is established, the blue light will typically become solid, indicating a stable link. During charging, a red light will be visible, which will turn off once the speaker is fully charged. If the red light is flashing, this typically indicates that the battery is low and needs to be charged. In addition to the blue and red lights, there are additional light indicators, such as a white/orange light, which signals that the speaker is in OontZ Wireless Dual Stereo mode. This light will remain lit when the speaker is paired with another OontZ Angle 3 speaker in dual stereo mode. If you notice the white/orange light and blue lights flashing together then it means the speaker has been reset and the speaker is ready to be turned back on. These lights and indicators are crucial for monitoring the battery, connection status, and the mode your OontZ Angle 3 is operating in.
Water Resistance and Safety Precautions
The OontZ Angle 3 is designed with water resistance in mind, making it suitable for use in environments where splashes or light rain might occur. It is important to note that the speaker is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water. The OontZ Angle 3 has an IPX6 rating, which means it can withstand gentle water spray or splashes; however, it should not be exposed to prolonged wet conditions or submerged partially or fully in water. To maintain its water resistance, always ensure that the rubber flap covering the charging port and audio jack is securely closed. This flap is critical for preventing water from entering the speaker’s internal components. When the flap is open, such as when using the 3.5mm audio cable or charging, the speaker is no longer water-resistant and should be kept away from water sources. It is also essential to avoid using the speaker in the shower, bath, or near water while it is connected to a charging source to prevent any risk of electric shock. Always keep the speaker away from water when charging or using the 3.5mm audio cable to avoid potential damage to the connectors. The speaker should be used with care around water to ensure its longevity and safe operation. Remember that the speaker can be damaged by water entering the connectors when the rubber flap is open, so always keep it closed when not in use.
Troubleshooting and Support Information
If you encounter any issues with your OontZ Angle 3, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve common problems. First, ensure that the speaker is fully charged, as a low battery can cause various malfunctions. If your speaker is not connecting to your device via Bluetooth, try turning both devices off and then back on. Also, make sure the OontZ Angle 3 isn’t connected to another device, as it can only maintain one connection at a time. If you are still experiencing connection issues, try resetting the speaker by holding down the power button for approximately 15 seconds until the white and green lights come on together and then turn off together. If the issue persists, check the Bluetooth settings on your device and ensure the OontZ Angle 3 is not on the ‘forget device’ list.
