GETTING STARTED
If your vehicle is equipped with a Rivian Camp Speaker, locate it in the Accessory Dock of the center console.
IMPORTANT
The speaker needs to be fully charged before initial use. Undock the speaker
and plug it into a power source. Use a USB-C cable with power delivery similar
to a laptop charger instead of a phone charger for faster charging time. Check
the charge level for a green light by pressing the Lantern button twice.
UPDATES
The speaker uses the vehicle’s connectivity to receive updates when docked.
CLEANING THE SPEAKER
To maintain the look and functionality of the speaker, occasionally inspect it
for wear and tear through regular use. Wipe the speaker with a soft dry cloth
for surface stains.
WARNING
Don’t submerge the speaker in liquid. Don’t use chemical cleaning agents to
clean the speaker.
Battery
CHECKING CHARGE LEVEL
On the speaker, press the Lantern button two times.
- Green: 75% to 100%
- Amber: 35% to 74%
- Red: 0% to 34%
CHARGING THE SPEAKER
When docked, the speaker automatically charges as the vehicle drives. When
undocked, the speaker can be charged when plugged into a USB-C source. The LED
light above the USB-C connector at the rear of the speaker pulses to indicate
when it charges. The LED light shows as solid white when the speaker is fully
charged. A warning audio tone plays when the battery power falls to 5%
remaining. The speaker powers down on its own if it is not charged.
NOTE
Normal operation will not work if the battery temperature falls outside the
allowed temperatures of 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C).
CHARGING WITH A USB-C CABLE
When the speaker is not docked, you can charge the speaker by connecting to a
power source. Use a USB-C cable with power delivery similar to a laptop
charger instead of a phone charger for faster charging time. Charging times
may vary, but it takes between 3 hours (with power delivery) to 12 hours
(without power delivery) to fully charge a depleted speaker.
