Ultimate Ears speaker Bluetooth display name  

If you connect your speaker to your device through Bluetooth, the display name 
in your device’s Bluetooth devices list will be either BLAST or MEGABLAST

Once you’ve connected, you can change the name of your speaker from the app. 
With the speaker connected, open the app and in the top right, tap the gear icon. 
You can then change the name of your speaker by tapping on the Speaker Name 
field. 

Is the Ultimate Ears app needed to connect through Bluetooth?  

You can connect to Bluetooth directly, but we recommend using the app for the 
best experience. You’ll also need the app to connect to WiFi, use Alexa and 
update your firmware. 

Do I need to sign into Amazon?  

Your Amazon account is used to sign you into Alexa. It’s how Alexa distinguishes 
you from someone else and how your information is protected from others. Each 
time you make a request to Alexa, she’ll retrieve the most relevant information 
based on your Amazon account information. 

Connecting to WiFi  

To connect your speaker to WiFi, you’ll need the Ultimate Ears app. The app will 
walk you through the initial setup of your speaker which includes connecting to 
WiFi. The app will also allow you to connect to a different WiFi network if you 
bring your speaker outside of your network. 

Issues during Amazon login  

If you’re having issues logging into Amazon during setup, check the following: 

 

Make sure that your password and email address match — you can try 
logging in on www.amazon.com to test your login information. 

 

If you don’t have an Amazon account, you can create one for free at 
www.amazon.com
