LED Indicators and Their Meanings
The Vivitar Bluetooth Speaker features LED indicators that provide important status information. The main LED is located on the top or front of the speaker and serves as a visual guide for various functions. When the speaker is powered on, the LED will glow solid blue. During the pairing process, the LED will flash blue rapidly, indicating that the speaker is in pairing mode. Once a device is successfully connected, the LED will return to a solid blue state. If the speaker is low on battery, the LED will flash red. When charging, the LED will turn solid red and change to solid blue once the battery is fully charged. If the speaker is in standby mode, the LED will be dim or completely off. These LED indicators help you understand the speaker’s current state without needing to access the manual or guess its status. Always refer to the LED indicators to monitor the speaker’s power, connectivity, and charging status for a seamless user experience. This feature ensures you stay informed about the speaker’s operations at all times.
Speaker Controls and Functionality
The Vivitar Bluetooth Speaker features intuitive controls for seamless operation. The power button switches the speaker on/off and initiates pairing mode. Dedicated buttons adjust volume, play/pause music, and navigate tracks. These controls provide easy access to essential functions, enhancing your listening experience.
Power Button: On/Off and Pairing
The power button on the Vivitar Bluetooth Speaker is essential for managing its basic operations. Located on the top or side of the speaker, it allows you to turn the device on and off with a simple press. When you press and hold the power button for about 3-5 seconds, the speaker will power on, typically accompanied by an LED indicator lighting up or a subtle audible tone. To turn it off, press and hold the button again until the LED turns off and the tone confirms shutdown.
The same button also initiates pairing mode. With the speaker turned off, press and hold the power button for 5-7 seconds. The LED will flash rapidly, usually in blue, indicating that the speaker is in pairing mode and ready to connect to a Bluetooth device. Once paired successfully, the LED will stabilize or change color to confirm the connection. This button is a key tool for both basic operation and establishing wireless connections, ensuring a seamless user experience. Always refer to the LED indicators for confirmation of the speaker’s status during these processes.
Volume Controls: Adjusting Sound Levels
The Vivitar Bluetooth Speaker features intuitive volume controls that allow you to easily adjust the sound levels to your preference.

Pressing the “+” button raises the volume, while pressing the “-” button lowers it. The speaker also includes a mute function, which can be activated by pressing and holding the “-” button until the volume reaches zero.
The volume controls are responsive and provide a satisfying tactile feedback. When adjusting the volume, you may hear audible cues or see LED indicators that signal the current volume level. For optimal listening, it’s recommended to start at a lower volume and gradually increase it to avoid sudden loud sounds. Additionally, the speaker’s volume is independent of the connected device’s volume, so you may need to adjust both for the best audio experience.
By using the volume controls, you can tailor the sound output to suit your environment, whether it’s a quiet room or an outdoor setting. This feature ensures a personalized listening experience, enhancing the overall usability of the Vivitar Bluetooth Speaker.
Play/Pause Functionality

In addition to controlling music, the play/pause button can also be used to answer or end phone calls when connected to a smartphone. This multi-functional feature enhances the speaker’s usability, offering a seamless way to switch between music and calls. When the speaker is in play/pause mode, you may notice an LED indicator flashing to confirm the action. This visual cue ensures you’re aware of the speaker’s status at all times.
The play/pause functionality works regardless of whether you’re streaming music via Bluetooth or using the auxiliary input. This versatility makes the Vivitar Bluetooth Speaker a practical choice for various listening scenarios. By integrating this feature, the speaker provides a user-friendly experience, allowing you to enjoy your music and manage calls with ease.
Track Navigation: Next/Previous Track
The Vivitar Bluetooth Speaker allows for easy track navigation, enabling you to skip to the next track or return to the previous one with just a few button presses.

To navigate through your tracks, press the “>>” button once to skip to the next song or press the “<<" button twice to return to the previous track. The speaker will respond with a brief tone or LED indicator to confirm the action. This functionality works seamlessly when connected via Bluetooth or when using the auxiliary input, ensuring consistent control over your music playback.
Track navigation is a convenient feature that enhances your listening experience, allowing you to customize your playlist on the go. Whether you’re streaming music or playing tracks from a connected device, the Vivitar Bluetooth Speaker’s intuitive controls make it easy to enjoy your favorite songs in sequence or skip to a new one at your convenience.
