I didn't pay attention, is none of this mentioned in the support page?
I feel so silly to miss something so simple

Hi Kajetan365,

 

Thanks for responding to my query. 

Indeed, I’ve used the OSM button to set the power to always on and audio to “pair” as per the manual, but this does not work to use the speaker; the missing step appears to be once paired, you need to set the radio button to “on”, then your phone etc will pick it up. 

The initial pairing is also difficult; even in “pair” mode, my phone etc just wouldn’t find the BT Speaker…spent hours figuring it out. Everything else works very well and the computer is terrific, but the pairing of the BT speaker is ridiculous; once it works, it’s great.
