While charging, the LED light will turn red. Once the battery is fully charged, the LED light will turn off. You can continue to use the speaker while it’s charging, enjoying uninterrupted music playback.

It’s important to note that when the OontZ Angle 3 is playing from battery power and connected to the Amazon Echo device, the speaker will remain on and won’t automatically turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Pairing your OontZ Angle 3 with your audio source device is a straightforward process that allows you to enjoy wireless music streaming. Ensure your OontZ Angle 3 has sufficient charge and is within 33 feet of your device, free from obstructions.

For initial pairing with an Amazon Echo device, use the Alexa app on your device. Subsequent connections are simple⁚ turn on the OontZ Angle 3 and say “Alexa, connect my speaker” or “Alexa, pair.” When playing from battery power and connected to the Echo, the speaker will stay on and not automatically turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity. This feature optimizes continuous playback with the Echo.

Remember that the OontZ Angle 3 can only connect to one device at a time. Certain devices may require manual reconnection, and the Amazon Echo devices will not automatically reconnect. If you encounter any issues, consult the “TheOontZ.com/pairing” page for additional guidance.

Step 1

To begin the pairing process, ensure your OontZ Angle 3 is ready for connection. This involves verifying the battery level and ensuring your device is within the optimal range. Check that the battery has sufficient charge, allowing for uninterrupted playback. Additionally, make sure your audio source device, such as a smartphone or tablet, is within 33 unobstructed feet of the OontZ Angle 3. This distance ensures a stable Bluetooth connection.

Once you’ve confirmed these prerequisites, proceed to activate your OontZ Angle 3. Press and hold down the Power button for a brief period, typically two seconds. This action will power on the speaker, and the Bluetooth LED light will illuminate, signaling that the speaker is ready to be paired.

While the Bluetooth LED light is on, it will also flash, indicating that the OontZ Angle 3 is in pairing mode and actively searching for nearby devices. This flashing light acts as a visual cue, confirming that the speaker is prepared to establish a Bluetooth connection with your audio source device.

Step 2

Now, with your OontZ Angle 3 in pairing mode and your audio source device ready, you can initiate the pairing process. Begin by verifying that your device supports Bluetooth audio. Most modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops have built-in Bluetooth capabilities. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that it is actively searching for new devices.

Once Bluetooth is enabled, you can start the pairing process. On your audio source device, go to the Bluetooth settings and select “Add New Device” or “Search for Devices.” Your OontZ Angle 3 should appear in the list of available devices. The speaker’s name, which may be “OontZ Angle 3” or a similar variation, will be displayed on your device’s screen.

Battery Features

The OontZ Angle 3 is equipped with a rechargeable battery that provides extended playtime, allowing you to enjoy your music for hours on end. A full charge delivers up to 12 hours of continuous playtime at 2/3 volume. However, playing at higher volumes will inevitably decrease the battery life. The speaker also features a power-saving feature that automatically turns off the speaker after 15 minutes of inactivity while playing from battery power, helping to conserve battery charge. This feature ensures that your battery isn’t drained unnecessarily when you’re not actively using the speaker.

When the OontZ Angle 3 is plugged into a charging source, it will remain on until you manually turn it off. This allows you to enjoy uninterrupted music playback even while charging. The battery life and power-saving feature are designed to provide a convenient and efficient listening experience, allowing you to enjoy your music without worrying about frequent charging or battery depletion.

Power Saving Feature

The OontZ Angle 3 incorporates a power-saving feature designed to conserve battery life and extend playtime. When the speaker is playing from battery power and there is no audio activity for 15 minutes, it automatically enters a power-saving mode and turns off to preserve battery charge. This feature is particularly useful when you forget to turn off the speaker after use, ensuring that the battery isn’t drained unnecessarily. However, it’s important to note that this feature is disabled when the speaker is connected to certain devices, such as the Amazon Echo Dot or Amazon Echo. In these cases, the speaker will remain on until you manually turn it off, even if there’s no audio playing.

The power-saving feature is an intelligent design element that optimizes battery usage and extends the speaker’s overall playtime. It contributes to a more efficient and convenient listening experience by reducing unnecessary battery consumption and ensuring that you can enjoy your music for longer periods without frequent recharging.

Water Resistance

The OontZ Angle 3 is designed with IPX5 water resistance, meaning it can withstand gentle water spray or splashes. This feature makes it perfect for outdoor use, whether you’re enjoying music by the pool, at the beach, or during a light rain shower. However, it’s crucial to understand that the IPX5 rating does not mean the speaker is fully waterproof or submersible.

To maintain the speaker’s water resistance, it’s essential to keep the rubber flap closed when not in use. Avoid exposing the speaker to heavy rain, submerging it in water, or leaving it in a wet environment for extended periods. These actions could cause damage to the speaker’s internal components and compromise its functionality.

When charging or using the 3.5mm audio cable, exercise caution and keep the speaker away from water as water entering the connectors can cause irreparable damage. Always prioritize safety and use common sense when using the speaker in damp or wet environments.

Surround Mode

The OontZ Angle 3 boasts a Surround Mode feature, allowing you to create an immersive audio experience by connecting multiple compatible OontZ speakers. This feature lets you amplify the sound and enhance the overall listening experience, perfect for parties, gatherings, or simply enjoying your music in a larger space.

To activate Surround Mode, you can connect two, three, or four supported OontZ speakers to the OontZ Angle 3 Pro Soundbar. Alternatively, you can utilize the OontZ app to connect the speakers together for a seamless and intuitive setup; Detailed instructions on using the OontZ app for Surround Mode can be found on page 20 of the manual.

The OontZ Angle 3 Pro Soundbar is compatible with the OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA (4th Gen) and OontZ Angle 3 Pro (2nd Gen). With Surround Mode, you can transform your listening experience and enjoy a truly immersive audio environment with your favorite music and audio content.
