Product Overview
Setup
1. Charging the Speaker
Before first use, fully charge your SOAR Shockbox speaker. Connect the included micro-USB cable to the charging port on the speaker and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port). The LED indicator will show charging status and turn off when fully charged. A full charge provides over 5 hours of play time.
2. Powering On/Off
To power on the speaker, press and hold the power button until you hear an audible prompt and the LED lights activate. To power off, press and hold the power button again until the lights turn off.
3. Bluetooth Pairing
- Ensure the speaker is powered on and in pairing mode (LED lights may flash rapidly).
- On your mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth.
- Search for available Bluetooth devices. The speaker will appear as "SOAR Shockbox" or a similar name.
- Select the speaker from the list to connect. You will hear a confirmation tone once successfully paired.
4. Stereo Pairing (Sync 2 Together)
For an enhanced audio experience, you can wirelessly connect two SOAR Shockbox speakers to play in stereo. Follow the instructions provided with your speakers for specific stereo pairing steps, typically involving powering on both speakers and pressing a designated button on one to initiate the stereo link.
Operating Instructions
Audio Playback
- Once paired, audio from your device will automatically play through the speaker.
- Use your connected device to control volume, play/pause, and skip tracks.
- The speaker delivers surprisingly loud and well-balanced sound with virtually no distortion.
LED Light Strip
The integrated LED light strip provides a dynamic visual experience, moving to the beat of the music. This feature is automatically active when the speaker is playing audio.
Speakerphone Functionality
The built-in microphone allows you to use the speaker as a speakerphone for hands-free calls when connected to your smartphone. Incoming calls will typically pause music playback, and you can answer/end calls using controls on your phone.
Maintenance
Water Resistance (IPX4)
The SOAR Shockbox speaker is IPX4 water-resistant, meaning it is protected against splashing water from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor use and can withstand light rain or splashes. Do not submerge the speaker in water.
Cleaning
To clean the speaker, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the surface or internal components.
