FAQs
How do I connect my phone to the speaker?
Turn on your existing light switch to power the speaker. On your smartphone or tablet, go to Bluetooth settings, search for available devices, and select 'i-Star Speaker' (or similar) from the list. Once paired, your device should connect automatically when in range and powered on.

What is the range of the Bluetooth connection?
The Bluetooth connection typically has a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet) in an open space, though this can be affected by walls and other interference.
Does this speaker replace my existing light bulb?

Troubleshooting
Speaker not powering on
Check that the lighting circuit is switched on at the mains and that the speaker is correctly wired into the light circuit according to the user guide.
Unable to pair Bluetooth device
Ensure the speaker is powered on and in pairing mode (indicated by a specific light or sound, refer to user guide). Turn off Bluetooth on your device and then re-enable it. Move your device closer to the speaker and ensure no other devices are actively connected.
Audio is intermittent or cutting out
Check the Bluetooth signal strength. Ensure your device is within range (typically up to 10 meters) and free from obstructions. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Bluetooth device.
Poor sound quality or low volume
Ensure the audio source volume is turned up on your connected device. The speaker's sound output is optimized for its compact design; verify that no obstructions are blocking the grille.
