🔌 Charging Features You Should Know

Charging the Speaker:

1. Locate the USB-C port on the back of the speaker

2. Connect the included cable (USB-C to USB-C)

3. Plug into a power source (wall adapter, computer, power bank)

4. Monitor the indicator light for charging status

Charging Other Devices (Power Bank Feature):

One of the coolest features: your Beats Pill can charge your phone!

1. Connect a USB-C cable to the port on the back

2. Plug the other end into your smartphone or device

3. The speaker's battery will power your device

⚠️ Important Note: Using the charge-out feature will drain your speaker's battery faster. Use this feature strategically when you need emergency phone power and no outlet is available.

💧 Water Resistance: What IP67 Really Means

Your Beats Pill has IP67 protection, which means:

• Dust-tight: No dust particles can enter

• Water-resistant: Can survive in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes

Safe Uses:

✅ Poolside listening (not in the pool)
✅ Beach trips (keep away from saltwater)
✅ Light rain and splashes
✅ Bathroom use during showers

Avoid:

❌ Submerging for extended periods
❌ Ocean or saltwater exposure
❌ Hot tubs or steam rooms
❌ Underwater use while swimming

▶️ Try This Now: Test the water resistance in a safe environment first – like a light sprinkle from a water bottle – before trusting it in more demanding situations.

🎯 Top 3 Takeaways

1. ⚡ Setup is ridiculously simple: Press and hold power button, connect via Bluetooth, and you're playing music in under a minute – works identically on both iPhone and Android.

2. 🎮 Master the center button: Single press = play/pause, double press = next track, triple press = previous track. This one button controls your entire listening experience.

3. 🔋 It's a portable charger too: The USB-C port isn't just for charging the speaker – it can charge your phone in emergencies, making it a dual-purpose device for travel.

❓ Common Questions & Troubleshooting

Q: The speaker won't turn on. What should I do?

A: The battery is likely depleted. Connect the USB-C charging cable and let it charge for at least 30 minutes before trying again. The speaker may not power on if the battery is completely drained.

Q: My iPhone isn't showing the automatic pairing popup. Is something wrong?

A: Not at all! This is common with beta iOS versions or if you've declined the popup before. Simply go to Settings > Bluetooth and manually select "Beats Pill" from the devices list.

Q: Can I connect two phones to the speaker at the same time?

A: No, the Beats Pill connects to one device at a time. However, switching between devices is incredibly fast – just press and hold the power button and pair with a different device.

Q: How do I know when the battery is low?

A: The speaker will play a warning tone when battery is running low. For exact battery percentage, check the Beats app (Android) or the Bluetooth settings widget (iPhone).

Q: The sound is cutting out occasionally. How do I fix this?

A: This is usually a Bluetooth range issue. Make sure you're within 30 feet of your device and there are no major obstacles (walls, metal objects) between the speaker and your phone.

Q: Can I use the speaker while it's charging?

A: Absolutely! The Beats Pill works perfectly while plugged in, making it great for desktop or stationary use.

Q: What's the difference between amplifying mode and stereo mode?

A: Both require two Beats Pill speakers. Amplifying mode plays the same audio from both speakers for louder volume. Stereo mode creates true left/right channel separation for a wider soundstage. You can set these up through the Beats app.
