User Guide

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the PathfinderTM Go speaker. At ION, your entertainment is as

important to us as it is to you. That’s why we design our products with one thing in mind—to

make your life more fun and more convenient.

Note: Before you first use the product, please fully charge the batteries. Your unit was

purposely shipped with a reduced battery charge to ensure safe transit. For optimal charging,

power off the speaker while charging.

Use the included USB-A to USB-C®cable to connect the unit to a 5V, 2A power adapter (not

included) connected to a power outlet and let it charge for up to 3 hours (depending on the

specifications of your adapter). This helps ensure the longest life for your battery.

Setup

Outdoor Use and Care

Though PathfinderTM Go is water-resistant and able to tolerate splashing water, please review

the tips below to get the best performance from your PathfinderTM Go:

•Bring PathfinderTM Go indoors during extreme weather.

•Please do not place PathfinderTM Go in standing water.

•Please do not connect the power adapter to a PathfinderTM Go in a wet environment. Make

sure the power input, power adapter, and power outlet are all completely dry before

making any connections.

•WARNING: Keep any non-water-resistant devices (phones, music players, etc.) in a dry

place where they will not be affected by water and cause a risk of electric shock.

Charging & Battery Information

For the quickest charging time, power off PathfinderTM Go and use the included USB-A to

USB-C®cable to connect the USB-C®charging port on the rear panel of the speaker to a USB

power adapter (DC 5V 2A, not included) connected to a power outlet, or your computer

(powered on). A full charge can take up to 3 hours, depending on the specifications of your 5V,

2A adapter.

The lightning bolt icon on the display will light up when PathfinderTM Go is

connected to a power source and charging. The battery icon will fill to

display the battery life percentage. When charging is complete, the lightning

bolt icon will disappear, and the battery icon will be completely filled.

If no audio is played through the PathfinderTM Go speaker for 15 minutes, the unit will enter a

standby mode to conserve battery life. This may mean the Bluetooth signal is paused, no

audio is coming through a device connected to the aux port, or the volume is set to 0. To

wake the unit, simply resume audio signal or press any button.

Here are some other recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery.

General Usage Fully charge the battery before using it.

Charge the battery completely after each use.

Do not charge the battery in exceedingly hot (greater than 90°F/32°C) or

exceedingly cold (less than 32°F/0°C) temperatures.

Storage For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than

90°F/32°C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32°F/0°C) temperatures.

It is acceptable to leave your sound system plugged in. This will not

overcharge the battery.

If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 3 months, it may

permanently lose capacity.

Repair If the battery fails to charge, contact ION Audio at ionaudio.com.

Disposal Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local

ordinances.
