2. On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
3. Select "HydraMicro" from the list of found devices.
4. Once connected, the speaker will provide an audible confirmation, and the LED will turn solid blue.

Operating Instructions

Bluetooth Connection

After initial pairing, the speaker will automatically attempt to connect to the last paired device when powered on. If it doesn't connect automatically, manually select "HydraMicro" from your device's Bluetooth settings.

True Wireless Pairing (TWS)

To achieve a stereo sound experience, you can pair two HydraMicro speakers together using True Wireless Pairing technology:

1. Ensure both HydraMicro speakers are powered on and not connected to any other Bluetooth device.
2. On one speaker, press and hold the Bluetooth button (if available) or a designated TWS button until it enters TWS pairing mode.
3. The two speakers will automatically search for and connect to each other.
4. Once connected, one speaker will act as the master and the other as the slave. You can then connect your device to the master speaker via Bluetooth.

Maintenance

Waterproof and Dustproof Care (IP67)

The HydraMicro is designed with an IP67 rating, meaning it is waterproof and dustproof. It can be submerged in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. While rugged, ensure the charging port cover is securely closed before exposing the speaker to water or dust. After exposure to water, especially saltwater, rinse the speaker with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely before charging.

Cleaning

To clean the speaker, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the speaker's finish or internal components.
