MEGABOOM app

Open the MEGABOOM app.

Tap the +/- area on the MEGABOOM on the home screen to display the battery life while your speaker is on.

If you have two MEGABOOM speakers, you can use them together to amplify your sound. Here’s how: Using the app

Connect your first MEGABOOM to your Bluetooth device.

Open the MEGABOOM app and tap the “Double Up” icon then tap Start in the Double Up screen.

Turn on your second MEGABOOM.

Tap Start in the MEGABOOM app.

Press the Bluetooth connect button on your second MEGABOOM twice (quickly).

The two MEGABOOMs will now be connected to your Bluetooth device.

Note: You can also use the app to “lock” the Double Up connection so when you power both of your MEGABOOM speakers up, they’ll automatically reconnect in Double Up. See “Activating Sticky Double Up” for more help. Without the app

Connect your first MEGABOOM to your Bluetooth device.

Press and hold the Volume + and Bluetooth button simultaneously until you hear a tone.

Turn on your second MEGABOOM.

Press the Bluetooth button on your second MEGABOOM twice.

The two MEGABOOMs will communicate and once they connect you will hear an audible confirmation.

Use the MEGABOOM app to manage the two modes: Double – Expands the audio to the two MEGABOOM speakers for double the sound. Stereo – Turns the two MEGABOOM speakers into Left and Right speakers (you can also swap the left and right designation using the app). IMPORTANT: You can only use the “Double Up” feature with one connected Bluetooth device.

Unfortunately, MEGABOOM cannot Double Up with MINI BOOM.

Yes, but make sure your BOOM has the latest BOOM software. BOOM update version 7.x and 8.x allow for compatibility with MEGABOOM, but versions 5.x and 6.x do not. Your BOOM and MEGABOOM Double Up in the same way as they would with another BOOM or MEGABOOM.

Not only can you name your MEGABOOM anything you want, you can make the MEGABOOM app reflect your chosen name, too. Here’s how: Android Device

If your smartphone is NFC-enabled you can use it to connect your smartphone to your MEGABOOM, here’s how:

Ensure NFC is enabled on your smartphone (see your smartphone’s documentation for help).

Turn on your MEGABOOM. In some cases you may need to place your MEGABOOM in pairing mode. Press and hold the Bluetooth connect button on your MEGABOOM (above the power button) until you hear a tone.

Hold your smartphone to your MEGABOOM right below the Volume + and – button for up to 10 seconds.

NOTE: You may see a pop-up on your smartphone asking you to confirm the pairing.

You’ll hear an audible confirmation from your MEGABOOM when the pairing is complete.

IMPORTANT: Your MEGABOOM stays in a pairing state for 3 minutes. If you are unable to pair using NFC, place your MEGABOOM into pairing mode and try pairing using NFC within 3 minutes. If you are unable to pair using NFC, see “Setting up my MEGABOOM” to pair through the Bluetooth device menu.
