Other Device Features
Auto Power Off
If the device is idle for 5 minutes, it will turn itself off while the switch
is in the on state. To turn the speaker back ON, press and hold the power
button.
Auto LED off
The LED will be powered off after 4.5 minutes for every state. This feature is
to conserve battery life. For example, if the BT speaker is at music streaming
state for 4.5 minutes, the LED will auto off. The timer will reset whenever
there is a change in state. One exception is that the LED indication for
pairing mode will remain active during pairing mode as pairing mode itself has
a timeout.
Multipoint Support
The speaker supports connecting to up to TWO audio source devices at the same
time. At any one time, only one device’s audio will be heard through the
speaker. When using the play/pause button on the speaker, the play/pause
command will always go to the last streaming device. To switch the playback
device, the user has to pause/stop the playback on the currently streaming
device and must start the playback from the other device directly. Once the
playback is established with the new device the use of play/pause command will
function for that device.
Expected Charging Time
When using the provided charger, a fully drained Shrapnel battery will take
approximately 2 hours to fully recharge to 100% battery life.
Trouble Shooting
There is choppy audio after connecting to the speaker, or will not
connect…
When multipoint is enabled, the Bluetooth chip will be searching for a 2nd
paired device while still streaming music from the connected device. This
causes a short section of choppy audio immediately after connection. It should
resolve and play normally after approximately 30 seconds. Also, the following
will resolve the issue immediately:
- Restore defaults: Hold Volume + and the round MFB for 5 seconds to reset the paired device list and then pair again.
- If restoring defaults does not solve the problem, remove Shrapnel from Device: Go in to pairing settings on the device and remove or ‘forget’ Shrapnel and then pair again.
Wired audio will not play…
If wired audio will not play, make sure that no device is streaming to the
speaker. Disconnect paired devices from the speaker.
Sound Set‐Up
Shrapnel on bottom “feet”
When Shrapnel is on the edge of a room or facing an entire group of people,
set it on its bottom surface, so that the speakers are facing the entire
group.
Shrapnel on back
When Shrapnel will be playing in the middle of a group (i.e. on a table, by a
campfire, etc.), place
Shrapnel on
its back face so that the speakers are pointing upward. This creates a uniform
360 degree sound field.
