Power Up Your Targus AEM105GL Speakerphone
Initiating your Targus AEM105GL Speakerphone requires a simple power-up sequence before establishing any Bluetooth connections. To activate the device, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, after which the LED indicator near the volume controls will illuminate white, confirming the unit is operational. The Targus Bluetooth Speakerphone may automatically enter pairing mode upon startup, indicated by a flashing red and green Bluetooth LED.
The built-in 2600 mAh lithium-ion battery provides exceptional performance, supporting up to 22 hours of usage once fully charged. Voice guidance features activate immediately after powering on, announcing “ready to pair” to facilitate connection processes. The energy-efficient Bluetooth® 5.0 technology maximizes battery longevity while maintaining strong connectivity. For charging, connect the speakerphone to a power source using the USB cable (included).
To enhance longevity, proper battery maintenance like avoiding overcharging can extend the device’s performance beyond its initial 22 hours of usage.
Activate Bluetooth Pairing Mode
When successfully activated, the device’s LED indicator flashes red and green, signaling it’s discoverable to nearby Bluetooth devices within a 33 ft./10 m range. The speakerphone, equipped with Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless technology and omni-directional 360-degree microphones, will automatically attempt to reconnect to previously paired devices if they’re within range. This makes the Targus speakerphone ideal for huddle room setups, where users can connect wirelessly via energy-efficient Bluetooth or through USB options. Moreover, it supports stereo pairing for enhanced connectivity with multiple devices.
Configure Your Device’s Bluetooth Settings
The next step in connecting your Targus Bluetooth speaker requires accessing the Bluetooth settings on your device. Users should enable the Bluetooth function and confirm their device supports compatible profiles such as HSP1.2, HFP1.7, A2DP1.3, or AVRCP1.6, as specified in the User Guide. Detailed instructions for connecting wirelessly to the Targus speakerphone can be found via the model number documentation provided by Bluetooth SIG.
Once Bluetooth is activated, navigate to settings and initiate a device search to locate the Targus AEM105GL within the 33 ft./10 m operational range. Select the speakerphone from the detected devices list to begin pairing. After selection, confirm the connection when the LED indicator flashes blue, signaling readiness. A solid blue light indicates successful pairing, enabling full Bluetooth 5.0 functionality.
For optimal performance during calls, ensure your setup includes features like 360-degree voice pickup to enhance audio coverage in group settings.
Complete the Connection Process
With your device scanning for available Bluetooth devices, finalizing the Targus AEM105GL connection involves just a few more steps. When the speakerphone appears in the Bluetooth list, select it and watch for the LED indicator to flash blue, signaling the pairing process is underway. Once the LED turns solid blue, the connection is successfully established, allowing immediate audio playback.
For users preferring a wired option, connecting via USB provides an alternative method. Simply insert the included USB cable into the speakerphone’s port and connect to your device’s USB or USB-C port. The speakerphone will be automatically recognized as an audio device without the need to install any drivers. After connection, make sure your device settings are configured to use the Targus AEM105GL as the default audio output device.
Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues
Despite following all setup instructions, users may encounter connectivity problems with their Targus Bluetooth speaker. When the Bluetooth LED flashes red and green without connecting, make sure the device remains within the 10-meter range specified in the Speakerphone User guide, with Bluetooth 5.0 properly enabled. For USB-C® or wirelessly via Bluetooth connection failures, check cable connections and verify the speakerphone is selected as the audio output in device settings.
If the speakerphone will automatically disconnect and enter pairing mode, perform a reset by holding the Call LED and Volume + buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. This solution is particularly effective for those working from home or small office environments where multiple devices with trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG might cause interference. When battery depletion occurs, simply recharge the 2600 mAh battery using the included USB cable.
