Linking Two Speakers
If you would like to play music from a Bluetooth device, you can first “link” two Pro Glow™
Ultras together in order to listen to your music in stereo. One Pro Glow™ Ultra will serve as the
left speaker and the other will serve as the right speaker.
To link two Pro Glow™ Ultra speakers together:
1. Press and hold the Stereo-LinkTM / Repeat button on both speakers to enter Stereo-Link
mode. You will hear a tone, and the word LINK will flash on each speaker’s Display while
they search for each other. Once a link has been established, the word LINK will remain on
the Display.
Note: The linking process can take up to a minute to complete. The closer the two speakers
are to each other, the quicker the link is established.
2. Once the two speakers are linked, press and release the Source button on either speaker
to select Bluetooth mode and begin the Bluetooth pairing process. The speaker you use
for Bluetooth pairing will serve as the primary speaker. On its Display screen, the Bluetooth
icon will flash to indicate that Bluetooth pairing is in process.
3. Navigate to your Bluetooth device’s setup screen, find Pro Glow™ Ultra and connect. When
your Bluetooth device is connected, the Bluetooth icon will be lit solid on the primary
speaker’s Display, and you will be able to play audio from the Bluetooth device through
your two linked speakers.
4. To disconnect two speakers or cancel linking between the two, double press the Stereo-
LinkTM / Repeat button on either speaker.
Note: Pro Glow™ Ultra is not wireless link compatible with previous ION Audio Pro Glow™
models.
