Turn on the speaker. Press and hold the Bluetooth button until the indicator blinks red and blue. On your phone, enable Bluetooth and select 'Insignia NS-HBTSS116' from the available devices.

Why is my speaker not charging?

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the speaker and a power source (such as a USB wall adapter or computer). Try a different cable or power source. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.

To reset, turn off the speaker, then press and hold the Bluetooth button and the volume down button simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the indicator blinks rapidly. Release the buttons, and the speaker will power off. Turn it back on.

How long does the battery last?

The built-in lithium-ion battery provides up to 6 hours of playtime at moderate volume. Actual battery life may vary depending on volume level and audio content.

Why is the sound distorted at high volume?
