A:AnswerPress and hold the bluetooth button for about 10 seconds. You will hear 2 small tones. The iBT82 is not searching for your new device. Put the new phone in search mode and there will be connection established.
A:AnswerThe sound is not bad. Understand that you will just not get nice bass from small devices; there is just not room to get that kind of deep sound from shallow speaker areas. I compare these things to transistor radios of yesterday. Small, portable with acceptable compromises in sound. It won't fill a room; unless that room has a toilet and a sink. But they are fun to take along places or listen to in the shower.
