How do I pair my phone with the Solar Stone speaker?

Turn on the speaker by holding the power button. Press the Bluetooth button to start pairing. On your phone, go to Bluetooth settings, search for 'Solar Stone' and connect. The Bluetooth LED will become solid and a voice prompt will confirm the connection.

How do I connect two Solar Stone speakers in stereo?

Turn on both speakers. Press the Link button on each speaker. They will pair automatically (this may take up to 2 minutes the first time). One becomes the left channel, the other the right channel. Then, on the left speaker (master), press Bluetooth to pair your phone.

What if the battery no longer charges?

If the battery no longer charges, contact ION Audio at ionaudio.com for repair. Be careful not to let the battery fully discharge for more than 6 months to avoid permanent capacity loss.

How do I reset the speaker if there is a problem?

If the speaker is not working normally, press and hold the Reset button located underneath the unit until it turns off. Try a restart via the power button first before using Reset.

Can I use the speaker in the rain?

The speaker is splash resistant, but should not be exposed to heavy rain or standing water. Bring it indoors in bad weather. Do not use the AC adapter in a humid environment.

How do I disable voice messages?

Press the Bluetooth and Link buttons simultaneously to disable (or re-enable) voice messages.

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

The manual does not specify an exact time, but it is recommended to fully charge before first use and after each use. The charge LED turns red during charging and goes off when complete.

Can I leave the speaker plugged in permanently?

Yes, it is acceptable to leave the speaker plugged in. This will not overcharge the battery. However, to maximize battery life, charge it fully after each use and avoid storing it discharged.

How do I clean the Solar Stone speaker?

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners. Do not clean it under running water. Store it in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.

What if my phone cannot find the speaker via Bluetooth?

Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (Bluetooth LED blinks quickly). On your phone, forget the 'Solar Stone' device in Bluetooth settings, then restart pairing. If the problem persists, hold the speaker's Bluetooth button to reset the Bluetooth module.
