NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology enabling 
short-range wireless communication between various devices, 
such as smartphones and IC tags. Thanks to the NFC function, data 
communication - for example, BLUETOOTH pairing - can be 
achieved easily by simply touching NFC-compatible devices 
together (i.e., at the N-Mark symbol or location designated on 
each device).
Set the NFC function of the smartphone to on.
For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with 
the smartphone.
• If your smartphone OS is Android 2.3.3 or later and less than 
Android 4.1, proceed to step 2.
• If your smartphone OS is Android 4.1 or later, proceed to step 4.
Download and install the app “NFC Easy Connect.”
“NFC Easy Connect” is a free Android app you can download 
from Google Play.
Download the app by searching for “NFC Easy Connect” or 
access it by using the following two-dimensional code. Fees 
may be charged for downloading the app.
To download by the two-dimensional 
code, use a two-dimensional code 
reader app.

Connecting Two Speakers and a 
BLUETOOTH Device (Speaker Add 
Function)
By connecting two SRS-X11 units via BLUETOOTH, you can select 
audio reproduction between the stereo mode (stereo sound) and

indicator is flashing to make a BLUETOOTH 
connection with a BLUETOOTH device.
For details on the BLUETOOTH connection, see “Pairing and 
connecting with a BLUETOOTH device” (steps 2, 3 and 4) or 
“Connecting with a smartphone by One-touch (NFC)” on this 
document.
When the   (BLUETOOTH) indicator of the unit stops flashing 
and lights up, the BLUETOOTH connection is established.
Hints
