Rechargeable Batteries
Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery, how you
use this battery has a significant impact on its lifespan. With proper use and treatment, a lead-acid battery
can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery.
General Usage
Fully charge the battery before using it.
Charge the battery completely after each use.
Storage For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90°F / 32°C) or
exceedingly cold (less than 32°F / 0°C) temperatures.
It is acceptable to leave your sound system plugged in. This will not overcharge the
battery.
If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, it may permanently
lose capacity.
Repair If the battery fails to charge, check your fuse near the power cable input. If your fuse is
intact and it still will not charge, contact ION Audio at ionaudio.com.
Disposal Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local ordinances.
Outdoor Use and Care
Though Solar Stone is water-resistant and able to tolerate splashing water, please review the tips below to
get the best performance from Solar Stone:
•Bring Solar Stone indoors during extreme cold, heavy rain, or melting snow.
•Please do not place Solar Stone in standing water.
•Please do not connect the charging adapter to Solar Stone in a wet environment.
•WARNING: Keep any non-water-resistant devices (phones, music players, etc.) in a dry place where
they will not be affected by water and cause a risk of electric shock.

Linking two Solar Stones to each other for stereo sound:
Note: Ensure that the speakers are not already Bluetooth connected in single mode. If either
of them is connected, hold the Bluetooth Connect button to disconnect and then follow the
steps below.
1. Power on each Solar Stone by holding down their power buttons. You will hear “Power
On” for confirmation. *

playing an intermittent tone. Once the stereo pair is successfully linked, you will hear
“Pairing successful, connected” followed by “Left channel” and “Right channel” on the
respective speakers. *
This process may take up to 2 minutes the first time two speakers are linked, but will only
take a few seconds if the speakers were previously linked.
Note: Solar Stones should be within 30 ft. (9 m) of each other to Link properly.
3. On the Left speaker, the Bluetooth LED will blink. Press the Bluetooth Connect button
to enter Bluetooth Pairing mode.
Note: The Left speaker will be the “master” speaker, and the unit from which the
Bluetooth range will be determined.

will hear “Connected” for confirmation. *
Note: If you experience trouble in connecting, select “Forget this Device” for Solar Stone

Connect button on the speaker to break previous Bluetooth connections and reset the
Bluetooth module.
Note: When two speakers are linked, hold the power button on the “master” speaker to
turn both speakers off. If you want to only turn off the “slave” speaker, press and hold the
power button on that speaker. The speakers will relink automatically the next time they
