Setting up the Kevler BT-202 is as easy as setting up any wireless speaker available today. Just simply turn on the speaker by moving the power button to the left.
Its blue light indicator will start blinking as a voice will say “Bluetooth” and two short beeps indicating that the speaker is ready to pair. Just choose the “BT-202” on your device to pair with the speaker and you’re all set!

To increase the volume, just simply hold the "+" button and hold the "-" to lower volume down. The speaker has its own play and pause button and lastly, it has a dedicated button for answering calls.
