Frequently Asked Questions - Sound Splash ION

How to pair the Sound Splash speaker with my iPhone?

Make sure the speaker is on. Press and hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds until the blue LED flashes. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, turn on Bluetooth and select "ION SOUND SPLASH" from the list. If a password is requested, enter 0000.

What to do if Bluetooth pairing fails?

Turn off the speaker by holding the power button for 4-5 seconds, then try again. Check that your device is in discovery mode. If the problem persists, forget the speaker in your device's Bluetooth settings and start pairing again.

How to answer a call with the speaker?

When a call comes in, press the call button (phone symbol) to answer. Speak into the microphone located under the play/pause button. To hang up, press the call button again.

How to recharge the battery?

Use the included micro USB cable to connect the micro USB port of the speaker to a USB charger (computer or power adapter). The red LED flashes when the battery is low. When fully charged, the LED turns off or turns blue (depending on state).

What do the LED indicators mean?

Flashing blue LED = pairing mode; solid blue LED = successful pairing; flashing blue and red LED = incoming call; flashing red LED = low battery.

Is the speaker completely waterproof?

No, it is rated IPX4, meaning it resists splashes (e.g., in the shower) but should not be immersed in water.

How to use the hook and suction cups?

The hook allows you to hang the speaker on a shower head or wall hook. The suction cups attach to the back of the speaker; apply them to a smooth, non-porous surface (glass, metal, ceramic, polished wood) for optimal grip.

Can I use the speaker while charging?

It is not recommended to use the speaker while charging, as this may affect the battery. Preferably use it on battery power.

How to put the speaker back into pairing mode after unpairing?

If the speaker was already paired and you want to connect it to a new device, press and hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds to unpair the current device. The blue LED will flash, indicating the speaker is in pairing mode again.

What to do if the sound is weak or distorted?

Check the volume on the speaker (volume up/down buttons) and on your source device. Make sure the distance between the speaker and the device does not exceed the Bluetooth range (about 10 m). Avoid obstacles. If the problem persists, try unpairing and repairing.
