EcoConnect – Wireless Stereo Connection of Two Speakers

When you have two EcoTrek speakers and want to wirelessly pair them for stereo sound, first follow the Pairing a Bluetooth Device instructions to connect one EcoTrek speaker to your Bluetooth device. Leave this EcoTrek speaker powered on and connected to your device.

Next, place the two EcoTrek speakers next to each other and turn on your second EcoTrek speaker. Once the second speaker is powered on (the Bluetooth light will be flashing), press the EcoConnect Button on both of your EcoTrek speakers. Wait a few seconds for the speakers to wirelessly connect. Both speakers will announce “Connection Successful,” and the EcoConnect icon on the LED screen on both units will light up once the connection is completed.

Once the two EcoTrek speakers are connected via EcoConnect, start playing music from your device. Both connected EcoTrek units will play the music from you device.

The EcoConnect default has your speakers playing in stereo mode. If

you would like to change which speaker is left or right or if you want to

set each speaker to play in mono mode you can press and hold .

Each press and hold of

will change the speaker from RIGHT

/ LEFT to LEFT / RIGHT to MONO. When changing modes, the left

and right speakers will announce, “Stereo mode, left speaker,” “Right

15

speaker,” respectively. When in mono mode, both speakers will announce, “Mono mode.” The EcoConnect connection between the two EcoTrek speakers will NOT automatically re-connect after the speakers are turned off. To re-establish EcoConnect between the speakers, after power off, please follow the above steps. Notes: · You can also pair the EcoTrek with any other ECOXGEAR speaker
bearing the EcoConnect symbol . · The EcoConnect functionality is only available while using Bluetooth as
your audio source at a maximum range of 30 feet between both of the paired speakers. · While pairing the two EcoTrek speakers, make sure that the speakers are within a few feet of each other.

Battery Replacement
For a complete demonstration of replacing the battery, see our video on www.ecoxgear.com.
1. IMPORTANT: Disconnect all power cables. Make sure that the EcoTrek is disconnected from any electrical power outlets. If EcoTrek is on, press and hold the power button to turn it off.
2. Remove the battery door by unscrewing the (8) screws. This will require a Phillips screwdriver.
3. With the battery door removed, the battery will be visible. It is fit snuggly into the unit and surrounded by foam strips.
4. To remove the battery, tilt the EcoTrek backward so that the open battery cavity is facing the ground.
5. Lift the EcoTrek unit slightly and gently tap the unit on the ground on the bottom-back edge of the unit and gravity should cause the battery to start to slip out slowly. Once the battery has moved out some, use your hands to gently pull the battery from the cavity.
18

6. Once the battery has been removed from the cavity, first slide the metal connector on the end of the BLACK wire off of the BLACK, negative terminal, then the metal connector on the end of the RED wire off of the RED, positive terminal. This will completely disconnect the battery from the EcoTrek unit.
IMPORTANT: Note how the terminals on the battery are connected. The RED wire to the RED, positive terminal. The BLACK wire to the BLACK, negative terminal. The replacement battery MUST be connected the same way.
7. Attach the wires to the replacement battery the same way they were connected to the original battery. First connect the RED wire to the RED, positive terminal, then the BLACK wire to the BLACK, negative terminal. (Only use an approved replacement battery that meets the specifications provided by ECOXGEAR. For more specifics or further information, contact ECOXGEAR customer support.) Unit will not work correctly and may be damaged if wires are not correctly attached.

8. If you purchase your own battery, make sure to also apply adhesive foam pads on the left and right side of the battery. (You may be able to peel off the foam strips from the original battery. If not, you can also purchase adhesive pads of similar material and thickness.) These pads ensure that the replacement battery is securely fastened and will not move within the battery cavity.
9. Slide the new battery, with the terminals at the top, into the cavity and gently push until the battery is flush with the back of the EcoTrek.
10. Replace the battery door and re-insert the screws.
11. Check if the battery door is securely fastened to the speaker housing. A loose battery door may compromise speaker waterproofness.
12. Power on the EcoTrek to ensure proper function. Be sure to fully charge the new battery prior to use (4-8 hours).

Troubleshooting
The sound is distorted Try lowering the volume control of your connected device or musical instrument. Also, try to reduce the overall volume of the EcoTrek. Cannot Pair With Bluetooth Device Make sure that your device is compatible with Bluetooth. Turn off your EcoTrek and Bluetooth device, then power on and reconnect. Make sure that Bluetooth mode is selected on your EcoTrek. There is a high-pitched whistling noise when using microphone This is probably feedback. Point the microphone away from the speaker. If there is poor AM/FM reception To adjust AM/FM reception, move entire product. Can NOT play music from a flash drive The USB ports are only for charging USB devices. Volume level is too low Increase the volume on the EcoTrek and / or increase the volume on your Bluetooth device. Battery not properly charging Twenty minutes after plugging into an AC power outlet, EcoTrek will check if the battery is rechargeable. If not, the individual bars on the battery level indicator on the LED screen will flash from top to bottom. (Normally, the battery segments will flash from bottom to top.) Please do NOT attempt to fix your EcoTrek unit. Please contact our Customer Support at support@gracedigital.com or call us at 800.903.9524.
