e sound quality of your speaker can vary depending on where the speaker is placed in a
room. Keep the following guidelines in mind when placing your speaker.
• e speaker’s Bluetooth range is XX feet (xx m). If you move the device too far away from the
speaker, sound quality will be affected and the device may disconnect from the speaker.
• For optimal performance, the speaker cube should be tightly sealed with no visible gaps or
openings, and the front of the speaker should face the listener.
• For best bass response, the back of the speaker should be placed near a wall, but not directly
against a wall. Bass response decreases as the speaker is moved away from a wall.
• Do not place the speaker in small areas that are enclosed on all sides except the front, as this
will adversely affect sound quality.

1. Unplug the speaker.
2. With the speaker unplugged and unpowered, press and hold the Power/Mode button.
3. While holding the Power/Mode button, connect the speaker to AC power.
