Keep the following guidelines in mind when placing your speaker. The speakers 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. Factory reset To restore your speaker cube to factory default settings:

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. 4. Continue holding the Power/Mode button for ten seconds, until the lights ash green. The system resets, the Bluetooth indicator light blinks blue, and you hear, Ready to pair.
