Frequently Asked Questions - Insta Sound ION

How do I pair two Insta Sound speakers together?

Power on both speakers. They will automatically initiate stereo linking (blinking yellow LED). Once linked, the yellow LED becomes solid and the master speaker's blue LED blinks for Bluetooth pairing. The process may take up to 2 minutes for first-time pairing.

How do I connect my Bluetooth device to Insta Sound?

After the speakers are stereo-linked, go to your device's Bluetooth settings, select 'Insta Sound', and connect. The blue LED will turn solid and you will hear 'Paired'.

What do the LED colors mean on the speaker?

Blinking blue: Bluetooth pairing mode. Solid blue: connected to Bluetooth device. Blinking yellow: stereo linking mode. Solid yellow: both speakers linked. Blinking red: low battery. Solid red: charging.

How do I reset the Insta Sound speaker?

Press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds. This will power off the speaker and clear all previous Bluetooth connections.

Can I use only one Insta Sound speaker?

Yes. Power off the speaker, then press and hold the Power button. While still holding Power, press and hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds. The yellow LED will turn off and the blue LED will blink, indicating Single Speaker mode. To revert back to stereo mode, power off and on.

How do I mount the speaker on a wall?

Use the included wall mount. Screw the mount base onto a surface that can hold the speaker's weight. The post should point straight up. Then slide the speaker onto the post until fully inserted. Ensure the notches align with grooves to fix the angle.

Is the Insta Sound waterproof?

It is water-resistant and can tolerate splashing water, but it is not waterproof. Avoid standing water, and do not charge in wet conditions. Use outdoor-rated outlets.

How do I disable the voice prompts?

While the speaker is on, press the Power button and the Bluetooth button simultaneously. Voice prompts will be disabled. LED feedback will still be present.

What should I do if my Bluetooth device cannot connect?

Try selecting 'Forget this Device' for Insta Sound on your Bluetooth device and reconnect. If still failing, press and hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds to break previous connections, or press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds to clear memory.

How do I charge the Insta Sound?

Connect the included charging adapter to the Charging Adapter Input on the speaker. The red LED will be solid while charging and turn off when complete. Fully charge before first use for maximum battery life.

Setup

Items not listed under Introduction > Box Contents are sold separately.

Installation

Insta Sound may be used freestanding or mounted. When used freestanding, the feet on the bottom of the speaker allow Insta Sound to sit comfortably on any flat surface. To mount Insta Sound using the included wall mount, follow the instructions below.

To use Insta Sound with the included wall mount, first inspect the area where you would like to install the speakers. Confirm that the surface you are mounting Insta Sound on can safely hold the weight of the speaker. If you are unsure whether you can safely install Insta Sound in your desired location, please consult a professional contractor.

To install the wall mount:

Note: It is recommended to install the mount so that the post is pointing straight up. Since the speaker is designed to easily slide off/on the post, do not install with the post at an extreme angle, parallel with the ground, or pointing towards the ground as the speaker will slide off of the post and cause damage.

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 Insta Sound on surfaces such as concrete or drywall, as these may require special tools and/or hardware.

2. Slide Insta Sound onto the mount so that the mount 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.

Note: The posts have notches that match up with the grooves at the base of the hole on the speaker to help pivot/rotate the speaker to a fixed position/angle.

Outdoor Use and Care

Though Insta Sound is water-resistant and able to tolerate splashing water, please review the tips below to get the best performance from Insta Sound:

• Insta Sound must only be used outdoors with power outlets or extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.
• Bring Insta Sound indoors during extreme weather.
• Please do not place Insta Sound in standing water.
• Please do not connect the charging adapter to Insta Sound in a wet environment. Make sure the charging adapter input, charging adapter, and power outlet are all completely dry before making any connections.
• Make sure the connection between the prongs of the charging adapter and the power outlet is secure and sealed according to your power outlet's specifications.
• 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.

Stereo-Link™ and Bluetooth Connecting to Insta Sound

1. Power on each Insta Sound by pressing and releasing their power buttons. You will hear "Powering On" for confirmation. *
2. The 2 speakers will automatically initiate the wireless stereo linking process. The speakers will search for each other indicated by their blinking yellow LEDs. Once the stereo pair is successfully linked, you will hear “Connected”, the yellow LEDs will be solid, and the “master” speaker’s blue LED will blink to indicate it is in Bluetooth pairing mode.

This process may take up to 2 minutes the first time two speakers are linked. Speakers that were previously linked will relink automatically in seconds if powered on in range of one another.

Note: Insta Sound speakers should be within 30 ft. (9 m) of each other to Link properly.

1. When the stereo link is confirmed by the solid yellow LED, the blue LED on the "master" speaker will begin to blink to indicate that it is ready to pair with your Bluetooth device.

Note: The Left channel will be the “master” speaker, and the unit from which the Bluetooth range will be determined.

1. On your Bluetooth device, navigate to your Bluetooth settings menu, find Insta Sound, and connect. Once the Bluetooth connection is made, the blue LED will be lit solid. You will hear "Paired" for confirmation.

Note: If you experience trouble in connecting, select "Forget this Device" for Insta Sound on your Bluetooth device and try to connect again.

If your Bluetooth device is not able to connect to Insta Sound, while powered on, press and hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds to break previous Bluetooth connections. Press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds to reset the device. This will clear the memory of existing paired Bluetooth devices.

Single Speaker Mode

If you want to use only 1 Insta Sound speaker, you can enter Single Speaker mode. While the unit is powered off, press and hold the Power button on the speaker. After the Insta Sound powers on, while still holding the Power button, press and hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds. The yellow LED will be unlit, and the Blue LED will blink to confirm the speaker is now in Single Speaker mode. Proceed to connect to Insta Sound in your Bluetooth device's Bluetooth menu. To revert back to Stereo mode, power the speaker off then back on.
