Bluetooth Connectivity - Bowers & Wilkins P Series Manual

6. Bluetooth Connectivity

6.1 Pairing
Your Pi5 S2 earbuds are designed to stream music
wirelessly from Bluetooth audio devices, such as
smartphones, tablets or computers. To do so, the
earbuds and source audio device must first be
paired.
When you receive your Pi5 S2 earbuds, they will be
ready to pair to any Bluetooth audio device.
6.1.1 Pairing iOS/Android Devices without
Google Fast Pair Service (GFPS), Mac or PC
1. The first time the charging case lid is opened,
the earbuds will automatically enter pairing
mode and the case indicator will flash blue.
To manually place the earbuds into pairing
mode, open the charging case lid and press
and hold the button inside the case for 1.5
seconds until the case indicator flashes blue.
See Diagram 4.
2. Go to the Bluetooth pairing menu of your
source device and select "Pi5 S2" from the
device list.
3. The case indicator will change to solid blue to
indicate pairing is successful.
Note: Your earbuds will automatically exit
Bluetooth pairing mode if no device is paired after
several minutes. If pairing fails, the indicator will
rapidly flash blue; please try pairing again.
Pi5 S2 can remember up to four paired Bluetooth
devices in total. Repeat the above steps to pair more
devices.
Note: On PC, the Pi5 S2 will appear as two
Bluetooth audio profiles: Stereo (default) and
Hands-Free (for telephony). The Hands-Free
profile will automatically be used when making
or receiving a call (e.g., Teams, Skype, Zoom,
etc.). However, the system volume will continue
controlling the previously selected device (Stereo
profile by default). To change the volume of the
earbuds while on a call, use the application
volume control or ensure the system volume
control is set to control the Hands-Free profile.
We recommend adding your earbuds to the
Bowers & Wilkins Music app. This allows you
to configure your earbuds in detail and provides
helpful hints and tips to make the most of your new
earbuds. Please refer to section 7 for details on
