Input Status:

Audio input status is indicated with one of two colored LEDs, located above the PAIR button.

These LEDs will change color with the source:

Bluetooth - Blue Auxiliary Input - Green

Status Indicators

The KICKER Bullfrog uses light indicators to acknowledge changes in settings, modes,

and input response. If no action can be taken, such as decreasing volume when at minimum,

or pressing FWD/BACK while in AUX mode, there will be no response.

Battery Status:

Battery status is indicated with 5 white LEDs above the PAIR button. These LEDs will also

indicate Double-Kick mode (see Pages 6–7). To show current battery status, press any button

while the Bullfrog is powered on. Status display will end after 5 seconds. Remember to charge

the Bullfrog for 6 hours before ﬁ rst use. Charging is complete when Battery LEDs stop counting

and turn off.

Connections

The KICKER Bullfrog has multiple hardware connections to

accommodate any audio application, indoors and outdoors.

Peel back the protective covering located on the side of the Bullfrog to

access the hardware panel. Remember to replace it when

ﬁ nished. When operating near water or other risky areas, you are solely

responsible for maintaining the water-resistant integrity of the Bullfrog. All

connections should be removed and the cap should be tightly secured.

Hardware reset

Line In - Provides audio input via 3.5mm connection

with AUX input mode.

USB Charge Bank - The USB Type A connection on the

Bullfrog acts as a power bank to charge your external

devices when the Bullfrog is on, or power is connected.

It is also used to update the ﬁ rmware. Charging current

up to 2.1A.

Bullfrog Charge - USB charging input using included USB

cable. Charge using an existing USB power supply,

computer or other external device with charge bank. 2.1A

for optimal charge time.

Controls

The KICKER Bullfrog controls and buttons will have different functions depending on the input

mode, and whether a short or long press is used. Some buttons are inactive in certain modes,

such as FWD/BACK while in AUX mode.

Bluetooth

The KICKER Bullfrog supports audio input via Bluetooth transfer protocol.

It will remember and auto-connect with up to 5 audio devices. Use a

software reset to wipe the auto-connect list, or pair more devices to bump

the last one off.

Enter Pairing mode by performing a long press (1 second) of the PAIR button

while the speaker is powered on. The Blue source LED will ﬂ ash while in pairing

mode for up to 2 minutes, then time-out. You may also exit pairing mode by

pressing the PAIR button.

When the Bullfrog enters Bluetooth mode, it will automatically begin to search

for and connect with the last connected device. If that device is not found, it

will continue to search for the other saved connections until a connection is

established.

When in Bluetooth Pairing mode, the Bullfrog will display as “BF100 KICKER” on

your Bluetooth device.

Double-Kick Mode:

Double-Kick allows you to play your audio through two Bullfrogs. One Bullfrog, the Primary, will

broadcast the audio to the Secondary Bullfrog. Audio and EQ settings applied by the Primary

Bullfrog, or KICKER Connect app, will be mirrored on the Secondary Bullfrog. Double-Kick

mode is compatible with all audio input sources. You may enter Double-Kick mode by using

the KICKER Connect app, or manually with the following button sequence.

1. Pair Bluetooth device with Primary Bullfrog

Primary Secondary

2. Setup Primary Speaker

Press & Hold PAIR and ‘+’ on

Primary Bullfrog. The battery

LEDs will indicate Primary mode

with an inside-out pattern.

3. Setup Secondary Speaker

Press & Hold PAIR and ‘–’ on

Secondary Bullfrog. The battery

LEDs will indicate Secondary

mode

with an outside-in pattern.

When successful, the Primary Bullfrog should have a solid input source LED. The Secondary

Bullfrog should have all input source LEDs solid. Any volume changes made on one Bullfrog

will effect the other. Press the PAIR button, or turn the Bullfrog off, to exit Double-Kick mode.

Double-Kick Status:

Double-Kick mode is indicated by one of two LED patterns across the Battery Status LEDs,

depending on if the Bullfrog is in Primary mode or Secondary mode.

These indicators will only be in effect while establishing the connection between Bullfrog’s.

Primary Bullfrog Sequence Secondary Bullfrog Sequence

AUX

The KICKER Bullfrog features auxiliary audio input via the 3.5mm (1/8”) input jack located on

the hardware panel. Enter AUX mode by short pressing the PAIR button until the green LED is

selected. When using an external audio device, it is best to turn up the volume or gain on the

audio source to the highest level possible without distortion, then adjust the Bullfrog volume as

needed.

Power Saver Mode:

If no audio is detected for 10 minutes, the Bullfrog will automatically enter Power Saver mode

while in Bluetooth and AUX modes.

Auto Turn-Off:

Auto Turn-off is disabled while using the USB Charge Bank, or when charging. The Bullfrog will

enter OFF mode after 1 hour. It must be turned back on for the KICKER Connect App to work.

Hardware Reset:

A hardware reset allows the speaker to recover from unexpected issues. If the speaker

becomes unresponsive, momentarily press the reset button on the side of the speaker using a

paperclip.

Factory Reset:

Factory reset restores the speaker back to the way it was shipped to you. This can be useful

to reset the equalizer and volume levels to default, and can help resolve issues with Bluetooth,

or with the Kicker Connect app. To perform a factory reset, turn the speaker on and press and

hold the Play button for 10 seconds, or until the LEDs turn off.

KICKER CONNECT APP

The KICKER Connect application for iOS and Android mobile

devices will unlock the full potential of your Bullfrog audio system.

With the KICKER Connect app, use EQ presets or make your own

adjustment, perform hardware tasks like a factory reset, and much

more! Download the app from the Apple Store or Google Play for free,

install it and get started right away.

Connect with Bluetooth LE:

The KICKER Connect app uses Bluetooth LE to connect to your Bluetooth device, a Low

Energy transfer protocol that does not stream audio, but still gives you control of your Bullfrog,

so you can make changes to settings or initiate Double Kick independent of pairing your audio

device with the Bullfrog.

You will automatically be prompted to connect with a Bullfrog when you open KICKER

Connect. You can also click the menu at the top left of the Connect App Home screen to

access this window.

HOME Screen:

At any time and from any screen, you can use KICKER Connect to change input sources,

adjust the volume, or turn the Bullfrog on and off.

From the Home screen, you can check the battery life and versions of your Bullfrogs, initiate

updates, or use Double Kick to play audio through two Bullfrogs via Bluetooth. If you are

using Double Kick, any EQ or volume adjustments will be mirrored to the secondary Bullfrog.

No matter what input source you’re using, BT or AUX, Double Kick is available.

Double Kick:

You may initiate Double Kick at any time from the Home screen by tapping the empty silhouette

of a Bullfrog. This will place the Primary Bullfrog in connect mode, where it will wait 60 seconds

for the Secondary Bullfrog to be initialized before time out. Make sure both Bullfrogs are turned

on and that you are both paired and connected with the Primary Bullfrog. Follow the on-screen

instructions to complete KICKER Double Kick.

EQ Screen:

The EQ Screen features 5 equalizer presets: KICKER (The House Special), Outdoor, Voice,

Treble, and Flat. You may also adjust the Bass and Treble sliders manually. These settings are

subjective, but are quick and easy to adjust on the ﬂ y, so don’t hesitate to pull up the EQ and

tap a preset or make a quick slide adjustment.

Settings Screen:

Click the Settings screen to toggle the Auto Connect and Auto Play features On/Off, the FM

broadcast band between US and EU frequencies (BF400/BF200 only), change from a 1-hour

to 36-hour Standby timer, and perform a factory reset.

Factory Reset:

To reset the Bullfrog to original factory settings, go to the Settings tab and select the Factory

Reset button. This can be useful to reset the equalizer and volume levels to default, and can

help resolve issues with Bluetooth, FM radio, or with the Kicker Connect app. This will reset all

settings back to factory defaults, including Bluetooth settings and paired device memory. You

may also perform a factory reset from hardware. To do so, press and hold the PLAY/PAUSE

button for 10 seconds until all LEDs turn off.
