Setup
1. Charging the Speaker
Before first use, fully charge the speaker. Connect the provided charging cable to the speaker's charging port (usually located under a protective flap) and to a compatible USB power adapter (e.g., 5V/2A, not included). The LED indicator will typically glow red during charging and turn off or change to green/blue when fully charged.
2. Powering On/Off
- To power on: Press and hold the Power button (circular button with a line through it) for approximately 3 seconds until you hear an audible prompt and the LED lights activate.
- To power off: Press and hold the Power button for approximately 3 seconds until you hear an audible prompt and the LED lights turn off.
3. Bluetooth Pairing
The speaker will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode when powered on for the first time or if no device is currently connected. In pairing mode, the LED indicator will typically flash blue rapidly.
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your audio source device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, computer).
- On your device, search for available Bluetooth devices.
- Select "Compaq 50W Speaker" from the list.
- Once connected, you will hear a confirmation sound, and the LED indicator on the speaker will stop flashing and remain solid blue.

4. True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Pairing
TWS allows you to connect two Compaq 50W Bluetooth Speakers together to create a left and right stereo channel for a more immersive audio experience.
- Ensure both Compaq 50W speakers are powered on and are not connected to any other Bluetooth device.
- On one speaker (this will become the primary speaker), press and hold the TWS button (often indicated by an infinity symbol or two interlocking circles) for approximately 2 seconds. You will hear a prompt indicating TWS pairing mode, and the LED will flash.
- The primary speaker will automatically search for the secondary speaker. Once connected, you will hear a confirmation sound, and the LED indicators on both speakers will synchronize, indicating a successful TWS connection.
- Now, connect your audio source device to the primary speaker via Bluetooth as described in step 3. Audio will play in stereo through both speakers.

3. Waterproof and Dust-Resistant Use (IPX6)
The Compaq 50W Bluetooth Speaker is rated IPX6, providing protection against powerful water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in outdoor environments, by the pool, or at the beach, where it may be exposed to splashes or light rain. It is also dust-resistant. To maintain its water and dust resistance, ensure that all port covers (e.g., charging port) are securely closed before exposing the speaker to moisture or dust.
Important: The IPX6 rating means the speaker can withstand splashes and jets of water, but it is not designed for full submersion in water.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean the speaker, gently wipe its surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or solvents, as these can damage the speaker's finish or internal components. Ensure the charging port and any other openings are dry before charging or using the speaker.
2. Storage
Store the speaker in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures (both hot and cold), and excessive humidity. If the speaker will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months to help preserve battery health and prevent deep discharge.
3. Battery Care
To maximize the lifespan of the speaker's built-in battery, avoid frequently allowing it to fully discharge. Use only the provided charging cable and a compatible power adapter. Do not attempt to open the speaker or replace the battery yourself, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage or injury.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Speaker does not power on. | Battery is depleted. | Connect the speaker to a power source and charge it fully. |
| No sound from speaker. | Speaker volume is too low or muted; Device volume is too low or muted; Bluetooth not connected; Incorrect audio output selected on device. | Increase volume on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure the speaker is successfully paired via Bluetooth. Check your device's audio settings to confirm output is directed to the speaker. |
| Cannot pair with Bluetooth device. | Speaker not in pairing mode; Bluetooth on device is off or malfunctioning; Device is too far from speaker; Interference from other devices. | Ensure the speaker is in Bluetooth pairing mode (flashing LED). Turn your device's Bluetooth off and on again. Move your device closer to the speaker (within 10 meters/33 feet). Try disconnecting other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity. |
| TWS pairing fails or disconnects. | Speakers are too far apart; One or both speakers are already connected to another device; Interference. | Ensure both speakers are within close proximity (e.g., 1-2 meters) for TWS pairing. Disconnect both speakers from any other Bluetooth devices before attempting TWS pairing. Reduce interference by moving away from other wireless devices. |
| LED lights are not working or stuck. | Lights are turned off; Software glitch. | Short or long press the Light button to cycle through modes or turn the lights on/off. If the issue persists, try powering the speaker off and on again. |
