Setup
Initial Charging
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the speaker using the provided charging cord. The speaker can also be charged via its integrated solar panel when exposed to direct sunlight. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours via cable.
Bluetooth Pairing
- Ensure the speaker is powered on and in Bluetooth pairing mode. A voice prompt "Bluetooth mode" will confirm this.
- On your mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
- Select "Rock Stone" from the list of devices.
- Once connected, you will hear a "connected" voice prompt.
Syncing Two Rock Stone Bluetooth Speakers (Stereo Pairing)
To achieve a 60W stereo sound experience, you can pair two BolaButty Rock Stone speakers together. Follow these steps:
Figure 5: Step-by-step visual guide for pairing two Rock Stone Bluetooth speakers for stereo sound.
- Step 1: Long press the power button on one of the two speakers. Ensure the other speaker and your phone's Bluetooth are powered off. You will hear "power on" followed by "Bluetooth mode".
- Step 2: Long press the power button on the second speaker. Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is still powered off. Wait a few seconds until you hear a prompt tone, then "connected".
- Step 3: Now, enable Bluetooth on your phone and tap "Rock Stone" to pair with the combined speaker system.
Note: If your phone was previously connected to a single Rock Stone speaker, you need to "forget" or unpair it from your phone's Bluetooth settings before attempting to sync two speakers.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
- Power On: Long press the power button until you hear "power on".
- Power Off: Long press the power button until the speaker powers down.
Volume Control
Adjust the volume directly from your connected Bluetooth device (smartphone, tablet, etc.).
Music Playback
Once connected via Bluetooth, simply play audio from your device. The speaker will output the sound. Control playback (play/pause, skip tracks) from your connected device.
Solar Charging Operation
The integrated solar panel charges the speaker's internal battery when exposed to direct sunlight. For optimal charging, place the speaker in an area with maximum sun exposure. The solar charging feature helps maintain battery levels during outdoor use, extending playback time.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the speaker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the speaker in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is fully charged before storing to preserve battery health.
- Weather Resistance: While IPX7 waterproof, it is recommended to avoid leaving the speaker submerged for prolonged periods or exposing it to extremely harsh weather conditions (e.g., blizzards, severe hailstorms) to maximize its lifespan. Ensure the charging port cover is always sealed when not charging.
