Frequently Asked Questions
The answer is yes but the solar panel on the rock out is tiny. There is a built-in battery so it would put a charge in your guide 10 but it won’t put a good charge in. It’s really to charge the battery and your mp3 player.
Yes, if connected to Bluetooth. The direct connection inside the case may require an adapter but works for my Motorola phone. I do not know about all android phones.
Hi Hiram, you can connect the Rock Out 2 to any item with a standard headphone jack using the included cable.
Yes, the Rock out 2 solars can be playing music while it is recharging in the sun! This would not have a negative effect on the battery.
other Blue tooth speakers are much better than RO2, for quality sound, but it has a decent sound and volume. Great for camping
No, this speaker does not give charge to other devices.
It would take around 8 hours to charge the speaker from its own Solar Panel.
You are correct. Internally there is not enough space, however, you can hold it securely with the bungee cables externally to the speaker unit.
The first one I broke somehow involved the sound/volume. I called the company and they replaced it. I don’t think they do any repairs. If you have a receipt and date of purchase they may also do the same. I had to send a photo of the unit with the wires cut and they just sent a whole new one. It’s worth a try.
You have 2 options. The first is to pair it using Bluetooth when you can put your iPhone anywhere and use the buttons on the speaker to control the music. The iPhone will fit inside the back where there is a little pocket to take it, where you can also use the jack plug to connect, which will use less battery but the front controls won’t work
Yep, I use a pixel phone with it and it works perfectly.
This is not a Bluetooth device. There is a usb cable to charge the device (if you don’t want to wait on solar power) and an audio cable to hook in where headphones connect to your music device.
no hiss were noted. some distortion at the top volume, but overall pretty good sound
The only difference between the Rockout 2 Solar SKU: 94013 vs Sku 94014 is the color. SKU 94013 is the Black Rockout, and Sku 94014 is the Green Rockout.
No
If the battery is completely dead just leave it plugged in overnight and see if that will do it. You’re using the provided USB cable, correct? If mine was totally dead, it would take several hours to recharge, but I would start seeing the blinking charging lights after it had been plugged in for a little while. Completely dead it might take a little bit for it to “wake up”.
There is no difference. Just demand
The Goal Zero Rock Out 2 has LED charge indicators. If the LED charge indicators are not on while you are attempting to charge or you cant turn it on, the internal battery is likely dead.
