PI4 is designed to stream media wirelessly from
Bluetooth audio devices, such as smartphones,
tablets or personal computers. To do so, the

Bluetooth pairing mode will be enabled,
the indicator will flash blue. If pairing mode
is not enabled, press and hold the power
button for 5 seconds, let go when the

audio device, PI4 will appear in the discovery

Bluetooth pairing mode if no device is paired
within 5 minutes. If pairing fails, the indicator will
rapid flash blue, please try pairing again.
