• To power on: Press and hold the Power button for approximately 3 seconds. An audible prompt will confirm power on.
• To power off: Press and hold the Power button for approximately 3 seconds. An audible prompt will confirm power off.

4.3 Bluetooth Pairing

The speaker uses Bluetooth 5.0 for a stable wireless connection.

1. Ensure the speaker is powered on and in pairing mode (LED indicator will flash, typically blue).
2. On your device (smartphone, tablet, laptop), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
3. Select "Donerton T9" from the list of found devices.

4.4 Mounting the Speaker

The speaker comes with a suction cup for easy attachment to smooth surfaces.

• Surface Preparation: For best adhesion, ensure the surface (e.g., shower tile, mirror) is clean, dry, and smooth.
• Suction Cup Preparation: Lightly dampen the suction cup with warm water before pressing it onto the surface. Some users find applying a thin bead of petroleum jelly around the rim of the suction cup can improve long-term adhesion.
• Attachment: Press the speaker firmly against the desired surface, ensuring the suction cup creates a vacuum.
• Verification: Gently tug on the speaker to confirm it is securely attached before releasing it.
