   Q: How do I setup my NIMA?

   You can connect your NIMA to your smartphone, tablet or other device using either Bluetooth or the auxiliary input.

   Bluetooth

   Out of the package, your NIMA is ready to pair with your first Bluetooth device. Here’s how:

   1. Turn the speaker on by pressing the power button on the back of the speaker. The power indicator will glow, the Bluetooth connect button (to the left of the power button) will blink rapidly, and you will hear a tone indicating the speaker is ready to pair.
   2. On your Bluetooth device, go to the Bluetooth menu and scan for devices (make sure Bluetooth is enabled).
   3. Select NIMA from the list of devices.

   NOTE: NIMA volume is set to maximum when you pair it to an iOS device for the first time.

   Once paired and connected, you’ll hear an audible confirmation from the speaker. This means your NIMA is ready to use. You can pair additional devices with your speaker, see “Pairing additional Bluetooth devices with my NIMA”

   Auxiliary Input

   1. Turn the speaker on by pressing the power button on the top of the speaker.
   2. Connect the speaker to your Bluetooth device using a 3.5mm analog cable (not included).

   NOTE: Use only a 3-pole (non-microphone or inline remote cable) auxiliary cable.

   NOTE: If a Bluetooth device is connected to the NIMA while playing audio from an auxiliary connection, the Bluetooth device will take priority and the stream from the auxiliary device will stop.

   IMPORTANT: The USB connection is solely for charging your NIMA. It won’t enable you to use your speaker as an audio-output device when connected to a computer.

   Q: How do I update the software on my NIMA?

   A: Software updates for your NIMA can be done using the NIMA app. Download it from the Apple App store for your iOS device or from the Google Play store for your Android device.

   2. Open the app.
   3. Tap MORE
   4. Tap the Update Now message to begin the update.

   Q: What should I do if the audio is distorted or drops out on my NIMA?

   If you’re having trouble with audio distortion or drop-outs on your NIMA, try these suggestions:

   • Move the audio source closer – it might be out of the range of your speaker.
   • Move away from other sources of wireless signal – you could be experiencing interference.
   • Make sure your speaker has enough battery power (connect it to a power source with the supplied adapter).
   • Adjust the volume on both the audio source and your speaker.
   • Restart both your speaker and the audio source.
   • Re-pair your device with your speaker (see “How do I pair additional Bluetooth devices with my NIMA?”).
   • If you’re using two NIMA speakers (in Double Up mode), try disconnecting and streaming to one speaker only.

   NOTE: If you’re streaming audio content from the internet, it could be with the internet connection and not your speaker.

   Q: Why won’t my Bluetooth device connect to my NIMA?

   If your Bluetooth device won’t connect to your NIMA, try the following:

   • Make sure your device is paired with your speaker and Bluetooth is active (see “How do I pair additional Bluetooth devices with my NIMA?”).
   • Place your Bluetooth device closer to the speaker – it might be out of range.

   • The NIMA can be connected to up to ONE device at a time – make sure you don’t already have two devices connected.
   • Turn your NIMA off, and then back on again.

   NOTE: If this is the first time you’re pairing a device with your speaker, you don’t need to press the Bluetooth connection button. It comes out of the box ready to pair.
