<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">You made me look closer at the BT speaker and indeed in tiny letters next to the usb charger port is a label saying DC5V/Line In !<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I wouldn’t have guessed that a BT speaker would have an option for a line input – I only ever charged it up using a power-plug charger unit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">One of my problems was forgetting how the BT speaker worked. It has a 3-way switch labelled ‘on/off/bt’ and I was thinking I had to start it on ‘bt’ to pair it and then slide it
across to ‘on’ for the playback but that was just stupid as it slides past ‘off’ and hence drops the connection on the way. I don’t really know what the ‘on’ is for, frankly.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
