No, the speaker is water-resistant (IPX4 rated). This means it can withstand splashes, light rain, and accidental spills, but it should not be submerged in water.

The speaker provides up to 8 hours of play time on a single charge, depending on volume levels and usage.

You charge the speaker using a universal Micro-B USB cable connected to a power source like a wall adapter or computer USB port.

The speaker can remember up to eight previously paired devices. It maintains an active connection with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously, allowing you to switch between them. However, it will only play audio from one at a time.

The Bose Connect app allows you to manage Bluetooth connections, unlock features, personalize settings, and access software updates for your speaker, all from your smartphone or tablet.

Yes, it has a built-in microphone, enabling you to use the speaker as a speakerphone for hands-free calls when connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the speaker to a power source using the Micro-B USB cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again. Try a different USB cable and power adapter.

Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (you'll hear a voice prompt indicating it's ready to connect). On your device, turn Bluetooth off and then on again, and select the 'Bose Color SoundLink II' from the list of available devices. Try forgetting the speaker from your device's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing. Ensure your device is within close range of the speaker.

Increase the volume on both your connected device and the speaker. Ensure the Bluetooth device is within range and there are no obstructions. Try connecting a different audio source to rule out an issue with the original device. For auxiliary input, ensure the cable is fully seated in both the speaker and the audio source.

Ensure your device is connected via Bluetooth and that the 'Phone Audio' profile is enabled in your device's Bluetooth settings for the speaker. Sometimes restarting both the speaker and your connected device can resolve this.

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and the speaker is powered on and paired. Try closing and reopening the app, or uninstalling and reinstalling it. Check for any pending firmware updates for the speaker via the app or Bose website.
