05 Connection priority
IMPORTANT
Poly prioritises Bluetooth connections over Wi-Fi for 'on-
the-go' convenience. If a Wi-Fi connection is established
you may interrupt this connection by selecting Poly as
the output from your device. Poly will only be able to re-
engage Wi-Fi connectivity once the Bluetooth connection
is disconnected.

06 Configure using the GoFigure App
A free app to confi gure your Poly is available for iOS and
Android devices. GoFigure allows you to confi gure your
networks, change playback modes, and more
Confi guring your Poly using the GoFigure app is
recommended, rather than confi guring via WiFi which is
covered in section 07 of this manual.

Bluetooth. Whilst downloading, enter your
device's settings menu and turn on Bluetooth

03 Understanding Poly's status
Before using Poly for the fi rst time, we recommend
that you fully charge your device for six hours.
To charge Poly on its own you must use a charger capable
of delivering at least 1amp of current.
You can simultaneously charge Poly and Mojo
whilst playing back audio. To do this you must use a
charger capable of delivering 2 Amps.
Using a 1amp charger when Poly and Mojo are
connected will result in only Mojo being charged.
Below are average charging and playback times for Mojo
and Poly when connected together.

When a new network is added, Poly will

network as Poly, you can now use your
chosen apps for playback including; AirPlay
