Checking Compatibility
Before you start the process of connecting your phone to an Ontek Waterproof Speaker, it’s essential to ensure that your phone is compatible with the speaker. The Ontek Waterproof Speaker uses Bluetooth technology to pair with devices, so your phone must have Bluetooth capabilities. Most modern smartphones come equipped with Bluetooth functionality, but it’s always a good idea to double-check to avoid any compatibility issues.
First, locate the settings on your phone and look for the Bluetooth option. If you can’t find it in the main settings, try swiping down from the top of the screen to access the quick settings menu. Look for the Bluetooth icon – if it’s there, your phone is Bluetooth-enabled.
If you’re still unsure about your phone’s compatibility, you can consult the user manual or visit the manufacturer’s website for more information. Additionally, you can search for your phone model and “Bluetooth capabilities” online to quickly determine if your device is compatible with Bluetooth technology.
It’s worth noting that the Ontek Waterproof Speaker is designed to be compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones and tablets from various manufacturers. As long as your phone has Bluetooth functionality, you should be able to establish a seamless connection with the speaker.
Turning on the Ontek Waterproof Speaker

To activate Bluetooth on your phone, begin by accessing the settings menu. Depending on your phone’s make and model, the location of the Bluetooth option may vary. In most cases, you can find it under the “Connections” or “Wireless & Networks” section of the settings menu.
Once you’ve located the Bluetooth option, toggle the switch to turn it on. You may also need to tap on the Bluetooth option to access additional settings, such as visibility and device scanning. Enabling visibility allows the Ontek Waterproof Speaker to detect your phone during the pairing process, while device scanning initiates a search for available Bluetooth devices in the vicinity.
After activating Bluetooth on your phone, you should see the Bluetooth icon displayed in the status bar or the quick settings menu, indicating that Bluetooth is now active and ready to pair with other devices. Some phones also provide a shortcut to the Bluetooth settings directly from the quick settings menu, allowing for quick and convenient access.
It’s important to note that the steps for activating Bluetooth may vary slightly based on the operating system and user interface of your phone. If you encounter any difficulties, referring to the user manual or conducting a quick online search for specific instructions tailored to your phone model can provide helpful guidance.
With Bluetooth successfully activated on your phone, you’re now prepared to initiate the pairing process and connect your phone to the Ontek Waterproof Speaker.
