Rechargeable Batteries Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery, how you use this battery has a significant impact on its lifespan. With proper use and treatment, a lead-acid battery can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery. General Usage Fully charge the battery before using it. Charge the battery completely after each use. Storage For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90°F / 32°C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32°F / 0°C) temperatures. It is acceptable to leave your sound system plugged in. This will not overcharge the battery. If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, it may permanently lose capacity. Repair If the battery fails to charge, contact ION Audio at ionaudio.com. Disposal Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local ordinances. Outdoor Use and Care Though Keystone is water-resistant and able to tolerate splashing water, please review the tips below to get the best performance from Keystone:

• Bring Keystone indoors during extreme weather.

• Please do not place Keystone in standing water.

• Please do not connect the charging adapter to Keystone in a wet environment.

• WARNING: Keep any non-water-resistant devices (phones, music players, etc.) in a dry place where they will not be affected by water and cause a risk of electric shock.4

Quick Setup Connection Diagram Items not listed under Introduction > Box Contents are sold separately.

Installation Keystone may be used freestanding or mounted. When used freestanding, the rubber feet on the bottom of the speaker allow Keystone to sit comfortably on any flat surface. To mount Keystone using the included wall mount, follow the instructions below. If using the solar panel to prolong battery life between charges, place Keystone in an area that receives at least 3 hours of direct sunlight a day for best results. To use Keystone with the included wall mount, first inspect the area where you would like to install the speakers. Confirm that the surface you are mounting Keystone on can safely hold the weight of the speaker (8.4 lbs. / 3.8 kg). If you are unsure whether you can safely install Keystone in your desired location, please consult a professional contractor. To install the wall mount:

1. Insert screws into the 4 holes on the wall mount base. Fully tighten all screws so the wall mount

base is flush with the surface before placing the speaker on the mount. Do not use the included screws to mount Keystone on surfaces such as concrete or drywall, as these may require special tools and/or hardware.

2. Loosen the mount knob to adjust the angle of the mounting post. Once the desired angle is

achieved, tighten the mount knob, ensuring that the adjustment teeth are fully interlocked.

3. Loosen the speaker attachment knob on the back of Keystone enough to allow the unit to slide

onto the mounting post.

4. Slide Keystone onto the mount so that the mounting post is fully inserted into the mounting hole

on the bottom of the speaker. Make sure it is unobstructed on all sides for optimal performance.

5. Tighten the speaker attachment knob to secure Keystone to the wall mount at the desired

rotational orientation. Bottom Panel Side Panel Smartphone, tablet, etc. Remote Wall Mount Power VOL.5

Bluetooth Connecting with Keystone

for each other while playing an intermittent tone. Once the stereo pair is successfully linked, you will hear “Pairing successful, connected” followed by “Left channel” and “Right channel” on the respective speakers. * This process may take up to 2 minutes the first time two speakers are linked. Speakers that were previously linked will relink automatically in a few seconds if powered on in range of one another. Note: Keystone speakers should be within 30 ft. (9 m) of each other to Link properly.

3. When the stereo link is confirmed by the solid green LED, press the Bluetooth Connect

button on either speaker or the included remote to enter Bluetooth Pairing Mode. Note: The Left channel will be the “master” speaker, and the unit from which the Bluetooth range will be determined.

4. On your Bluetooth device, navigate to your Bluetooth settings menu, find Keystone, and

connect. Once the Bluetooth connection is made, the blue LED will be solid. You will hear “Connected” for confirmation. * Note: If you experience trouble in connecting, select “Forget this Device” for Keystone on your Bluetooth device and try to connect again.
