Charging

FEATURE	DESCRIPTION

battery light will turn on for 10 seconds to let you know Move 2 is seated correctly (make sure the charging contacts are touching. Move 2 can recharge using Move’s charging base).
Use only with the included power supply (using a third-party power supply will void your warranty).
The charging base is for indoor use only— be sure to keep it dry.
Note: Check battery level in the Sonos app.
USB-C port| For charging Move 2 on the go, use a compatible USB-PD charger.

Battery Saver
You can enable Battery Saver in the Sonos app to best preserve battery life when Move 2 is inactive. When enabled, your Move 2 will power off automatically after 10 minutes in sleep mode.
Go to > System, and select Move 2 to get started.
Note: Move 2 won’t appear in the Sonos app until it’s powered back on.
Bluetooth pairing

Turn Bluetooth on in your device settings.
Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the back of the speaker until you hear a tone, then release. The status light blinks blue when the speaker is ready to pair.
Choose Sonos Move 2 from the list of available devices in your Bluetooth settings. Your mobile device will automatically connect next time you press the Bluetooth button.

Select a location

You can put your Sonos Move 2 just about anywhere. For maximum performance, here’s a few guidelines:
For best performance, leave at least 1″ (2.5 cm) space around the back of Move 2 when placing it next to a wall or shelf.
It’s ultra durable. With a tough outer shell and IP56 rating, Move 2 is built to withstand falls, bumps, moisture, dust, UV rays, and extreme temperatures (charging base is for indoor use only).
Enable auto TrueplayTM in the Sonos app—Move 2 can tune itself for amazing sound no matter where you are and what you’re listening to.
Don’t use or store your Sonos speaker upside down.

Microphone on/off
The microphones in Sonos Move 2 are used for voice control and other features found in the Sonos app, like auto TrueplayTM.
The universal microphone switch on the back allows you to quickly turn on or off all microphones in the speaker and adds an extra level of privacy when you want it (it’s turned on out of the box).
The voice services button on top toggles voice control on and off without affecting the microphones needed for auto Trueplay and other microphone- related features.
When the voice services light is on:

If you set up voice control, it’s ready to listen.
The universal microphone switch is on.
When the voice services light is off:
If you set up voice control, it’s not available.
The universal microphone switch could be on or off.

Voice services
Use your voice to control your Sonos system with any voice-enabled Sonos product—play and control content, turn the volume up or down, and more.

Sonos Voice Control: control your whole Sonos system with hands-free ease and unmatched privacy. Sonos Voice Control comes ready to use—it only takes a few seconds to add when you set up your speakers. More information
Amazon Alexa: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Alexa app with the Sonos skill enabled. You’ll make some changes in both apps during setup. Learn more
Siri: you’ll need the Apple Home app. Add your AirPlay2-compatible Sonos speakers to the Apple Home app and then use an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV to ask Siri to play music (currently limited to Apple Music). Learn more

Note: Voice control isn’t supported in every country yet—this feature will be available as soon as Sonos and a voice service launch together in your region.

Trueplay™

Every room is different. Trueplay tuning measures how sound reflects off walls, furnishings, and other surfaces in a room, then fine tunes your Sonos speaker to make sure it sounds great no matter where you’ve placed it.
Trueplay works on iOS mobile devices running iOS 8 or later. During tuning, you’ll move around the room holding your mobile device.

Select > System, and pick the room you want to tune.
Choose Trueplay Tuning to get started.

Auto Trueplay
Portable Sonos products like Sonos Roam and Move can tune themselves automatically. Auto Trueplay uses your speaker’s microphone to detect the environment and make periodic tuning adjustments so you get great sound wherever your speaker is and whatever you’re listening to.
Go to > System, and select your portable speaker to turn on auto Trueplay.

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.

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.
Go to > System.
Select one of the speakers you want to use in the stereo pair, then choose Set Up Stereo Pair to get started. Learn more

Product settings

You can customize Sonos products for your surroundings. Go to > System and select a product.

Room Name| If you move your speaker to a new room, you can change its name in Settings.
---|---
Turn off WiFi
(not available for Sonos Era 100, Era 300, or portable products)| You can turn off your speaker’s WiFi when it’s connected to your network with an Ethernet cable. This reduces power consumption and can improve connectivity for wired speakers.
For products like Amp and Port, turning off WiFi can reduce the internal temperature when they’re placed in a rack or stacked. Learn more
Note: WiFi is turned off for Era 100 and Era 300 when you connect a Sonos
Combo Adapter using the Ethernet cable.

Trueplay| Trueplay adapts the sound for your surroundings and content. Portable products can tune themselves automatically. Learn more

Status Light| Displays the speaker’s connection to WiFi, indicates when the volume is muted, and signals errors. Learn more
Note: If the light is distracting, you can turn it off in Settings.
Touch Controls| You can disable the touch control on your speaker. You may want to do this to prevent a child or curious pet from accidentally adjusting playback or volume. Learn more
Battery Saver
(portable products only)| To save battery life, you can set your portable speaker to power off automatically instead of going to sleep. It won’t appear in the Sonos app until it’s powered back on.
Line-In
(Sonos products with line-in capability)| When a projector, turntable, stereo, or other audio device is connected to a Sonos product, you can adjust these linein settings:
• Source name: Choose a name for the line-in device.
• Source level: Adjust the line-in source level if you find the default volume setting is too quiet or distorted.
• Audio Delay: Add a delay between the line-in source and Sonos to reduce the chance of audio issues occurring when you’re playing line-in audio on
grouped speakers.
• Autoplay: Choose a room if you want line-in audio to start playing automatically when Sonos detects a signal on the line-in port.
