Select a location

You can use your speaker just about anywhere. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• You can place the speaker next to a wall or on a shelf–for best performance, leave at least 1″ (2.5cm) space around the back of the speaker.
• The speaker’s durable design includes silicone end caps to protect from drops or bumps.
• Avoid placing the speaker in direct sunlight.
• You can place Sonos Roam SL horizontally or vertically. When vertical, the speaker takes up barely any room. Position it horizontally for added stability on uneven surfaces.

Bluetooth pairing

1. Turn on Bluetooth in your device settings.
2. Press and hold the power button on the speaker for 2 seconds until you hear the second pairing tone, then release. The status light blinks blue when the speaker is ready to pair.
3. Choose Sonos Roam SL from the list of available devices in your Bluetooth settings. Your mobile device will automatically connect next time.

Charging

Set up stereo pair

Pair two Sonos speakers in the same room for an even wider, stereo experience. One speaker serves as the left channel and one serves as the right channel. Note: The Sonos speakers in a stereo pair must be the same type.

1. Place the speakers 8 to 10 feet apart. Your Favorite listening position should be 8 to 12 feet from the paired speakers–less distance increases bass, more distance improves stereo imaging.
2. Go to > System.
3. Select one of the speakers you want to use in the stereo pair, then choose Set Up Stereo Pair to get started.
