Troubleshooting






    HOW DO I SETUP MY ICONIQ?

    You can connect your ICONIQ to your smartphone, tablet or other device using either Bluetooth or the auxiliary input.

    BLUETOOTH - HOW TO PAIR YOUR DEVICE

    Here is how to get started: 

    1. Turn the speaker on by pressing the power button on the back of the speaker. The power indicator will glow, the Bluetooth connect button (to the left of the power button) will blink rapidly, and you will hear a tone indicating the speaker is ready to pair.
    2. On your Bluetooth device, go to the Bluetooth menu and scan for devices (make sure Bluetooth is enabled).
    3. Select ICONIQ from the list of devices.

    NOTE: ICONIQ volume is set to maximum when you pair it to an iOS device for the first time.

    Once paired and connected, you’ll hear an audible confirmation from the speaker. This means your ICONIQ is ready to use. You can pair additional devices with your speaker, see “Pairing additional Bluetooth devices with my ICONIQ”

    SYNCING UP TO (5) FIVE BASKETBALL SPEAKERS

    2. Click on Settings -> Bluetooth -> ICONIQ
    3. You will hear a beep twice
    4. Play a song with the first Basketball
    5. Turn on the second Basketball
    6. While the first Basketball is playing
    7. FIRST BASKETBALL - Master - Click the PM button TWICE, hear a beep twice 
    8. SECOND BASKETBALL - Click on the PM TWICE, hear a beep twice, wait a few seconds and both Basketballs will play the same song
    9. THIRD BASKETBALL - Click on PM twice, hear a beep twice
    10. FOURTH BASKETBALL - Click on PM twice, hear a beep twice
    11. FIFTH BASKETBALL - Click on PM twice, hear a beep twice

    Note: Make sure to forget all devices for no interference.  Turning off devices and resetting the syncing process will reset all devices for a seamless connection.

    AUXILLARY INPUT

     Try these tips: 

    1. Turn the speaker on by pressing the power button on the top of the speaker.
    2. Connect the speaker to your Bluetooth device using a 3.5mm analog cable (not included).

    NOTE: Use only a 3-pole (non-microphone or inline remote cable) auxiliary cable.

    NOTE: If a Bluetooth device is connected to the ICONIQ while playing audio from an auxiliary connection, the Bluetooth device will take priority and the stream from the auxiliary device will stop.

    IMPORTANT: The USB connection is solely for charging your ICONIQ. It won’t enable you to use your speaker as an audio-output device when connected to a computer.

    HOW DO I UPDATE THE SOFTWARE ON MY ICONIQ?

     A: Software updates for your ICONIQ can be done using the ICONIQ app. Download it from the Apple App store for your iOS device or from the Google Play store for your Android device.

    Once you have the ICONIQ app, here’s how to apply the update:

    1. Connect your ICONIQ to your smarphone or tablet.
    2. Open the app.
    3. Tap MORE
    4. Tap the Update Now message to begin the update.

    WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE AUDO IS DISTORTED OR DROPS OUT ON MY ICONIQ?

     If you’re having trouble with audio distortion or drop-outs on your ICONIQ, try these suggestions:

    • Move the audio source closer – it might be out of the range of your speaker.
    • Move away from other sources of wireless signal – you could be experiencing interference.
    • Make sure your speaker has enough battery power (connect it to a power source with the supplied adapter).
    • Adjust the volume on both the audio source and your speaker.
    • Restart both your speaker and the audio source.
    • Re-pair your device with your speaker (see “How do I pair additional Bluetooth devices with my ICONIQ?”).
    • If you’re using two ICONIQ speakers (in Double Up mode), try disconnecting and streaming to one speaker only.

    NOTE: If you’re streaming audio content from the internet, it could be with the internet connection and not your speaker.

    WHY WON'T MY BLUETOOTH DEVICE CONNECT TO MY ICONiQ?

     If your Bluetooth device won’t connect to your ICONIQ, try the following:

    • Make sure your device is paired with your speaker and Bluetooth is active (see “How do I pair additional Bluetooth devices with my ICONiQ?”).
    • Place your Bluetooth device closer to the speaker – it might be out of range.
    • Move your Bluetooth device and speaker away from other wireless sources – you could be experiencing interference.
    • If you have multiple ICONiQ speakers, make sure you’re connected to the correct one.
    • The ICONiQ can be connected to up to ONE device at a time – make sure you don’t already have two devices connected.
    • Turn your ICONiQ off, and then back on again.

    NOTE: If this is the first time you’re pairing a device with your speaker, you don’t need to press the Bluetooth connection button. It comes out of the box ready to pair.

    CAN I USE MY ICONiQ WITH MORE THAN ONE DEVICE AT A TIME?

     Your ICONIQ can have one device paired with it, and you can connect to two speakers playing the same song at a time.

    HOW DO I USE MY ICONiQ FOR PHONE CALLS?

     You can use your ICONiQ as a speakerphone once it’s turned on and connected to your smartphone. Here’s how:

    1. Make or answer a call on your phone:

    A: iPhone – You’ll have the option to take the call on your ICONiQ (speakerphone) or directly on your phone. Select “audio source” from the In-call menu, then tap ICONIQ to use it as a speakerphone.

    B: Android – On most Android smartphones, the call will default to the ICONiQ (speakerphone). Turn Headset mode off on your smartphone to take the call directly.

    1. Adjust the call volume from either the phone or speaker.
    2. When you’re finished with the call, end the call on your phone.

    NOTE: Skype may or may not work on a Bluetooth speakerphone. This depends on your smartphone’s make and model, and Skype settings.

    HOW DO I USE MY ICONiQ WITH A COMPUTER?

     You can connect your ICONIQ to a Mac or PC that has Bluetooth capabilities.

    Mac

    1. Turn the speaker on.
    2. If this is the first device you’re pairing to your ICONiQ, it will already be ready to pair, otherwise, hold down the Bluetooth button (above the power button) until you hear a tone.

    NOTE: The Bluetooth connection button will blink rapidly, meaning the speaker is ready for pairing.

    1. From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
    2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane.
    3. Find and select ICONiQ in the Available Devices list, then click on Pair.

    PC

    1. Turn the speaker on.
    2. If this is the first device you’re pairing to your ICONIQ, it will already be ready to pair, otherwise, hold down the Bluetooth button (above the power button) until you hear a tone.

    1. Open your Control Panel.
    2. Select Hardware and Sound.
    3. Select Devices and Printers.
    4. Select Bluetooth Devices.
    5. Click Add a device.
    6. Select ICONIQ from the list of devices, and then click Next.

    NOTE: If the Bluetooth Device Control window opens, expand the Headset type menu and select “My hands-free device ICONIQ does not have a display” and then click Apply.

    Once your speaker is paired and connected, you’ll have to select the ICONIQ as the default playback device in the Windows Sound settings. Here’s how:

    1. Open your Control Panel.
    2. Select Hardware and Sound.
    3. Select Manage audio devices (under Sound).
    4. Select “Speakers Bluetooth Hands-free Audio” and click Set Default.
    5. Click OK.

    WHY DO I HAVE AUDIO PROBLEMS WHEN TWO DEVICES ARE CONNECTED?

     You may experience audio problems if one of the two devices keeps requesting the connection while the current device is streaming. If so, try the following:

    • Pause the stream from the second device that isn’t currently being used.
    • Turn Bluetooth off on the second device.
    • If the primary Bluetooth device is a Mac computer, click on the “X” next to the ICONiQ from the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences.

    NOTE: You’ll have to go through the pairing process again to pair your ICONiQ to your Macintosh computer if you do this. (See “Pairing additional Bluetooth devices with my ICONiQ” for help.)

    WHAT CAN I DO IF THE VOLUME ISN'T SYNCHRONIZED BETWEEN MY APPLE DEVICE AND MY ICONiQ?

     The volume settings between your ICONIQ and Apple device can sometimes get out of synchronization. If this happens, try the following:

    • Turn the Bluetooth connection on your device off, and then back on again.
    • Turn your device off, and then back on.

    I CAN'T CONNECT MY DEVICE TO MY IOS?

    If your iOS device no longer connects to your ICONIQ, try the following:

    • Turn your ICONIQ off and then back on.
    • Turn your iOS device off and then back on.

    If your iOS device still won’t connect, you should re-pair your device with the ICONIQ. Here’s how:

    1. In the Bluetooth menu on your iOS device, locate ICONIQ and tap the arrow next to it.
    2. Tap Forget this Device.
    3. Turn your speaker on.
    4. Hold down the Bluetooth button (above the power button) until you hear a tone.

    NOTE: The Bluetooth connection button will blink rapidly, meaning the speaker is ready for pairing.

    1. On your device, go to the Bluetooth menu and scan for devices.
    2. Tap ICONIQ to pair.

    WHY CAN'T I SWITCH BETWEEN TWO CONNECTED DEVICES?

    Some devices will hold a connection with ICONiQ even when the stream is paused or the connection is idle.

    To fix this issue, try the following on the device you no longer want to use:

    • Disconnect from the ICONiQ.

    OR

    • Turn off the Bluetooth connection.

    This should allow another device to connect to your ICONiQ.

    WHY AREN'T MY CONTROLS WORKING CORRECTLY WITH MY 3.5MM AUX CABLE?

    The ICONiQ was designed to be used with a 3-pole (non-microphone or inline remote cable) auxiliary connector. You may experience unexpected behavior with controls if you use a 4-pole (with inline microphone and/or inline remote) auxiliary cable.

    Only use a 3-pole cable with your ICONiQ.

    CAN I CHANGE THE NAME ON MY ICONiQ?

    Not only can you name your ICONIQ anything you want, you can make the ICONIQ app reflect your chosen name, too. Here’s how:

    Android Device

    1. Connect your device to your ICONiQ.
    2. Open the ICONiQ app.
    3. Tap MODE, and then Settings.
    4. Tap Speaker name and enter the new name for your speaker.

    NOTE: You might have to un-pair and re-pair your speaker for the changes to take effect.

    For Android, you can also change the display name of your ICONiQ in the Bluetooth device menu. Here’s how:

    1. Open your Bluetooth device menu.
    2. Locate your ICONiQ and tap the Settings icon next to it.
    3. Tap Rename and enter the new name for your speaker.

    iOS Device

    1. Connect your device to your ICONiQ.
    2. Open the ICONiQ app.
    3. Tap MODE, and then Settings
    4. Tap Speaker name and enter the new name for your speaker.

    You can’t change the display name of your ICONIQ in the iOS Bluetooth device menu.

    NOTE: You might have to un-pair and re-pair your speaker for the changes to take effect.

    WHY CAN'T I SELECT ICONiQ FROM THE IOS MENU?

    If you have multiple ICONiQ speakers connected to one or more iOS devices, you might not be able to select which speaker to use with the iOS menu.

    If you have two Bluetooth sources, try disconnecting the second source and use only one source. 

     HOW TO CHECK YOUR BATTERY LIFE?

    There are two ways to check your speaker’s current battery level.

    Button press

    • Press your speaker’s ‘plus’ and ‘minus’ buttons at the same time. An audio message will play telling you the current battery level. You can change the language of the message from within settings section of the app.

    ICONIQ app

    1. Open the ICONIQ app.
    2. Tap the +/- area on the ICONIQ on the home screen to display the battery life while your speaker is on.

    REMOTE POWER FEATURE

    You can remotely turn your ICONIQ on and off using the ICONIQ app. This feature is automatically enabled the first time you connect your ICONIQ to your smartphone and run the app.

    To turn your ICONIQ on and off remotely, open the app and tap the power button.

    NOTE: This feature is only supported on Bluetooth Smart ® enabled devices. Check with your device manufacturer to see if your device supports this feature.

    HOW LONG WILL MY ICONiQ STAY ON WHILE ON IDLE?

    Your ICONiQ will stay on without an active stream for 15 minutes before it powers off to save battery life.

    CAN I REPLACE THE BATTERY?

    Yes. The rechargeable battery in ICONiQ is designed to keep going strong for years –even if you listen to it all the time and charge it daily. However, if your ICONIQ ever gets to the point where you think the battery needs to be replaced, please look for our battery replacement program which will be available after the standard 2-year-warranty coverage expires.
