For the pairing and connecting guide for your Apple Mac or Windows 10 laptop/computer, please visit: TheOontZ.com/pairing

Windows 7 or 8 laptops/computers may have difficulty pairing and connecting over Bluetooth. If this occurs it is recommended to connect and play using the 3.5mm audio cable. Please go to page 11: ‘Playing From Your Windows 7 or 8 Laptop/Computer and Non-Bluetooth Audio Devices Using the 3.5mm Audio Cable’.

— From Your Amazon Echo Dot

Turn on your OontZ Angle 3 first and make sure it is in pairing mode.

To pair and connect your OontZ Angle 3 the first time from the Amazon Echo Dot you need to use the Alexa app on your iPhone, iPad, Smartphone, or Tablet.

First make sure to disconnect any other Bluetooth device from the Amazon Echo Dot.

The Amazon Echo Dot can only connect to one Bluetooth device at a time.

  •  Open the Alexa app
  •  Go to the ‘Home’ menu by pressing the 3 horizontal lines in the upper left corner next to ‘Home’
  •  Press ‘Settings’
  •  Select your Amazon Echo Dot under ‘Devices’ by pressing it
  •  Press ‘Bluetooth’
  •  Press ‘Pair a New Device’. In a few seconds the ‘OontZ Angle’ will appear in the list of ‘Available Speakers’
  •  Select ‘OontZ Angle’
  •  In a few seconds you will hear Alexa’s voice coming through the OontZ Angle 3 : “Connected to OontZ Angle”
  •  The audio from the Amazon Echo Dot will now play through the OontZ Angle 3

Now that the Amazon Echo Dot is paired to the OontZ Angle 3, if the speaker becomes disconnected or turned off, to re-connect turn on the OontZ Angle 3 and just say “Alexa, connect my speaker ” or “Alexa, pair”.

Important Note: When the OontZ Angle 3 is playing from battery power and connected to the Amazon Echo Dot, the Amazon Echo Dot disables the power saving feature on the OontZ Angle 3 speaker. The speaker will remain on and it will not automatically turn off after 15 minutes of not playing audio. The Amazon Echo Dot is continuing to communicate to the speaker even when not playing audio and will use up the battery charge, at the same rate as full volume audio.

We recommend either: 1) Keeping the OontZ Angle 3 plugged into a USB wall charger or USB port on a laptop/computer, so it can remain on and available to play from the Amazon EchoD ot, without having the battery becoming drained. Or, 2) Turning the OontZ Angle 3 off when you are done listening. You can turn the OontZ Angle 3 speaker off by pressing and releasing the Power button on the OontZ Angle 3, or you can say “Alexa, disconnect my speaker” and the OontZ Angle 3 will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. When you want to playt o the speaker again turn on the OontZ Angle 3 and say “Alexa , connect my speaker ” or “Alexa, pair” and the Amazon Echo Dot will connect and the audio will play through the OontZ Angle 3.

If you need assistance with your Alexa app, contact Amazon’s support through the app. Open the Alexa app and select Help & Feedback > Email Customer Service

If you’re having trouble trying to connect your Amazon Echo Dot to your OontZ Angle 3

  • Make sure that the OontZ Angle 3 is not connected to any other audio source device. If the blue light is solid you will need to disconnect the currently paired audio source device. Please see the Quick Start Guide instructions in the section “Pair and Connect with Your Device – Step 1”.
  • Check that the battery for your OontZ Angle 3 has a sufficient charge, plug your speaker into a charging source.
  • Disconnect any other Bluetooth devices from Amazon Echo Dot. Amazon Echo Dot can only connect to one Bluetooth device at a given time.
  • Try to reconnect the OontZ Angle 3 to Amazon Echo Dot. Set the speaker to pairing mode, and then say, “Alexa, connect my speaker” or “Alexa, pair”
  • To pair and connect with the Amazon Echo, Amazon Echo Dot or Amazon Echo Input for the first time use the Alexa app. For other Amazon Alexa devices please refer to their pairing and connecting instructions

Poor quality or skipping audio when connected to Amazon Echo Dot

  • Make sure you have an adequate WiFi signal to your Amazon Echo Dot. Move your Amazon Echo Dot to a location with a stronger signal and away from sources of interference, such as microwave ovens, baby monitors, and other wireless devices.

Your OontZ Angle 3’s battery charge becomes drained when connected to Amazon Echo Dot despite not playing audio

  • Amazon Echo Dot continues to communicate to the speaker even when it is not playing audio. The Amazon Echo Dot is keeping the speaker on and ready to play. In order to conserve your speaker’s battery charge, you can turn the OontZ Angle 3 off by pressing and releasing the Power button on the OontZ Angle 3, or say “Alexa, disconnect my speaker” when you are done listening and the OontZ Angle 3 will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.

I have lip sync issues between the audio and video when connecting the OontZ Angle 3 to my TV.

  • The standard Bluetooth protocol has inherit latency and when used to play audio from a video, lip sync issues may occur between the audio and video. If there is a sync issue between the audio and video, it is recommended to use a 3.5mm Audio Cable to connect the device playing the video to the Aux In on the OontZ Angle 3.

My TV or Bluetooth Transmitter will not pair with my OontZ Angle 3.

  • We have found Bluetooth from TV’s and Bluetooth transmitters often have compatibility problems. We find that some don’t work at all and others inconsistently. In general, our finding has shown that the version of the Bluetooth transmitter is important for compatibility. Bluetooth 5.0 transmitters don’t work as often as those that are classified as 4.2. The Bluetooth 4.2 version of transmitters have a higher level of success in connecting with Bluetooth speakers with 4.2 Bluetooth chipsets. The Bluetooth chips used in the transmitters are not as fully compliant as those used in smartphones for example, so sometimes there is an incompatibility in the protocols used between the transmitter and the speaker. If you find another BT Transmitter that is specified with 4.2 Bluetooth technology, it might work better than those with 4.0 and below or 5.0 Bluetooth technology.

Can I connect two OontZ Angle 3 speakers together to play in Dual Stereo

  • The OontZ Angle 3 does not support connecting two OontZ Angle 3 speakers together wirelessly or wired. The OontZ Angle 3 is designed to be a single portable Bluetooth speaker and does not support the capability to make one play as Left Channel and another as Right Channel. The OontZ Angle 3 can be connected to a single device with Bluetooth or with a 3.5mm audio cable to the Aux In of the speaker.

Is there replaceable batteries for my OontZ Angle 3

  • Only the OontZ Angle 3XL and OontZ Angle 3XL ULTRA can have the battery replaced. All other OontZ speakers have an integrated battery and the battery is not accessible.
