Connecting With Tiki Sounds - ION Tiki Sounds Quick Start Manual

Connecting with Tiki Sounds

Connecting to One Speaker / Establishing the Master Speaker
Before connecting to Tiki Sounds, make sure the "master" speaker is within range of your
Bluetooth device.
1. Power on Tiki Sounds by holding down the power button. You will hear "Power On" for
confirmation. *
2. Ensure the speaker is in Bluetooth/Master mode. A blue LED will indicate the speaker is in
Bluetooth/Master mode. If a yellow LED appears, the speaker is not in Bluetooth/Master
mode, it is in Link mode. You will need to hold the Bluetooth/Link button down for 2
seconds to exit Link mode.
Note: The speaker(s) power on in the last mode used prior to being powering down. If
powered on in Bluetooth/Master mode, the speaker will automatically connect to a
previously paired Bluetooth device.
3. When connecting to a Bluetooth device for the first time, navigate to your device's
Bluetooth setup screen, find Tiki Sounds, and connect. The Bluetooth LED will be solidly
lit blue when it is connected and you will hear "Paired" for confirmation. *
Note: If you experience trouble in connecting, select "Forget this Device" on your
Bluetooth device and try to connect again.
4. Start playback from your Bluetooth device.
To disconnect from a paired Bluetooth device, press the Bluetooth/Link button on the
master speaker. The Bluetooth LED will blink blue, and you will hear "Ready to Pair" to
indicate that the previous pairing was disconnected and the speaker is "ready to pair" to
another Bluetooth device. *
* Tip: If you would like to disable (or enable) the voice prompts, press and hold the Light
Mode button for 2 seconds.
Linking Additional Tiki Sounds to the Master Speaker with Multi-Link™
After establishing the "master" speaker by connecting via Bluetooth as described above, you
can link an unlimited number of speakers to the master speaker to play the same music.
1. Power on the additional speaker(s) you would like to link to the master speaker.
2. Ensure the speaker(s) is in Link mode, which will be indicated by the yellow LED. If a blue
LED is seen, press and hold the Bluetooth/Link button to enter Link Mode.
3. Once in Link Mode, the speaker will automatically link to the master speaker and play the
same audio.
When a speaker is in Link Mode, its Light Mode Button will not function. The master
speaker's Light Mode Button will control the brightness of any linked speakers while audio is
being transmitted.
Tip: If all speakers are not at the same brightness level when linked, cycle through the
brightness settings once on the master speaker by pressing the Light Mode Button 5 times
while audio is being transmitted. This will sync the brightness levels on all speakers.
Linked speakers may be powered off at any time without interrupting playback from the
Master speaker. Powering off the Master speaker will disrupt audio on any linked speaker(s).
Note: If you have multiple speakers, it is possible to use each speaker independently if each is
in Bluetooth/Master Mode.
