CONNECTING A BLUETOOTH DEVICE
1. Turn on Planter Speaker by firmly pressing the power
button once, located on the bottom of the pot.
2. Press and hold the Connecting button for 5 seconds until
the blue Connecting LED blinks.
3. Navigate to your Bluetooth device’s setup screen, find
“Ion Planter spk” and connect.
4. If your Bluetooth device is not able to connect to Planter Speaker, press the Connecting button on Planter
Speaker to break previous Bluetooth connections and reset the Bluetooth module.
Note: Maximum range will be achieved when using devices with Bluetooth 4.0.
5. To connect a new device, press and hold the Connecting button for 5 seconds. Repeat Step 3.
6. To disconnect a connected Bluetooth device, press the Connecting button on Planter Speaker.
Note: If you experience trouble connecting or playing music, update your device's OS.
LISTENING TO MUSIC FROM THE AUX/LINKING
CONNECTOR
1. Turn on Planter Speaker by firmly pressing the power button once, located on the bottom of the pot.
2. Connect a 3.5mm TRS cable* from the music source to Planter Speaker’s Aux/Linking Connector.
3. Press and hold the Vol + button for 3-5 seconds to switch the Aux/Linking Connector function as an input.
4. To listen to the signal from a connected Bluetooth device
instead of the signal from the Aux/Linking Connector,
press the Connecting button for 5 seconds or remove the audio cable which will disengage the Aux/Linking
Connector and switch back to Bluetooth Connecting.
SPEAKER LINKING
By default, the Aux/Linking Connector functions as an output. To connect two Planter Speakers together for extended
output, the Planter Speaker that is not connected to your Bluetooth device will need its Aux/Linking Connector to
function as an input. To do this, connect a 3.5mm TRS cable* between the two Planter Speaker Aux/Linking
Connectors (see the CONNECTION DIAGRAM section). Press and hold the Vol + button for 3-5 seconds on the
Planter Speaker that is not connected to your Bluetooth device.
SETUP GUIDE
Setup Example #1: Sound for a fixed listening area
In this example you can use a single Planter Speaker for
listening in a fixed area, such as on a deck with a table and
chairs directly facing the speaker.
Setup Example #2: Extended range of sound for a patio
with multiple listening areas
In this example, we have multiple listening areas: a barbecue
setting with two tables and chairs. Since the listening will be
spread across multiple locations, use a pair of Planter
Speakers to get spacious sound, filling a wide area.
