4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Bluetooth Pairing
After powering on the speakers, they will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode. On your smartphone, tablet, or laptop:
- Go to your device's Bluetooth settings.
- Search for available devices.
- Select "RS8" from the list to connect.
- Once connected, you will hear an audible confirmation, and you can begin playing audio.
The Bluetooth range is approximately 20 meters (65 feet) in an open area without obstructions. Note that these speakers do not support TWS (True Wireless Stereo) functionality, meaning they can only be paired with a single device at a time and cannot connect to multiple speakers simultaneously for a stereo pair.
4.2 Speaker Placement
For optimal sound quality and stereo separation, speakers should ideally be spaced between 8 and 12 feet apart.

5. Maintenance
The Herdio rock speakers are designed for outdoor durability with an IPX7 waterproof rating and resin material construction. To ensure longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe the speakers with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically check the waterproof connection cables for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all connections remain tight to maintain waterproofing.
- Storage: While designed for all-weather use, storing the speakers in a sheltered area during extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, prolonged freezing temperatures) can further extend their lifespan.

| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Q1: Speaker won't turn on | Check whether the outlet is receiving power and ensure the cables connecting the two speakers are tightly connected. |
| Q2: Cannot connect via Bluetooth | Ensure the speakers are not already connected to another device, which could prevent new connections. Turn off Bluetooth on other nearby devices. |
