Curious about the auto shutoff at 10 minutes... Can you wake it up by pushing a button and if so, is it still paired to the bluetooth?

If you push the pedal it reconnects to the device. Mine usually only takes about 3-5 seconds. It is very fast.

yes it does reconnect. Takes a couple seconds to respond, It stays connected via Bluetooth

when i press one of the pedals, you can see it "wake up" on my ipad, it will show not connected, but about 3 seconds after i push the pedal it connects right back with no lag issues.

Hello Cara, I just timed this with my phone and from the moment I weighed something to when auto shut-of kicked in was about 43 seconds. Hope this helps!

It has a 10 hour auto shutoff. Many are not aware it has an auto shutoff but guessing that is because they don't keep it on for 10 hours !! It just clicks off after 10 hours

Hi Bert, You can't turn off bluetooth at all, even by pressing the "iHome button" that can be seen on the picture on the top at the center. This can be nice, because if you start playing music on your mobile or tablet then the unit will switch on and play it. But it is painful because your mobile will always connect to it. I am using Deezer on Android and waking up with the music does not work because when the application is idle for a long time it stops responding to bluetooth orders like play/next... I did not try with another application. Hope this helps.

I have not had a problem with it so far. The Bluetooth connection paired easily and I have not used it for more than an hour at a time and don't seem to have a problem.

The sleep/wake works for me all the time. You hear a "click" sound when you close the case, provided you have the keyboard turned on (I turn the keyboard off after closing the case sometimes to conserve the charge, but it goes a very long time before needing a charge so most times I just leave it on).

Hello how are you? is very easy you just have to press the on/off button for like 10 seconds or until you hear first power on and the you will hear pairing then you let the button go and look on your device for the speaker to pairing it. and the sound is very good for a small speaker let me know if that help ok.

You can force a sync via Bluetooth when you want by holding the button for 3 seconds. So you can turn off your Bluetooth when you don't want automatic syncing.

We leave it in the shower and turn it on and off. You hold he power button down for 3-5 seconds and as soon as it powers up it connects to your phone that has Bluetooth turned on. I turn off my Bluetooth once I am done because it sucks my battery if I leave it on. When I turn my Bluetooth back on I then select the device. I am unsure of what will happen if you have two devises in the room at the same time trying to connect.... We love ours. It is surprisingly loud. You control the volume on the phone. I hope that helps.

You dont have to turn it on and off every time you get in and out the car, unless you plan to be out of your car for long period of time like work, gym, ect.. After so many hours it will turn itsself off to conserve the battery, and you will have to turn it back on. Just make sure you have your Bluetooth connected to it at all times while in and out of your car and remember to keep it charged for optimum usage. It sounds great in the car and is very convenient. The only thing I dont like is when you have to answer the phone...me personally I dont like to answer the phone via Bluetooth. Other than that its a great product. I have 2, one for home and another for my car.

I have not had that issue yet with my keyboard. The issue I have (and not really an issue per sé ) is that it takes 2-3 seconds for the bluetooth connection to reconnect after sleep mode. But that's it.

Mine works just fine. I constantly just hit the time button 8-10 times and when I wake up in the morning it is still turned on.

I do not think it will automatically shut off. The sound is too high pitched to let it go for very long. I immediately unplug it when the alarm goes off. Hope that helps.

Did you pair w/ your phone first? Try turning bluetooth off on phone, and then wait until the unit goes into pairing mode. If it does not automatically, turn the device off, and then press the power button for &gt;/= 6 seconds. It should reinitialize pairing mode for the device.

I tested this scenario. I shut off my phone after I had powered on the Bluetooth mode on the radio. The radio stated that Bluetooth was disconnected and the blue light flashed rapidly for several minutes but did not power down.

Hi Elaine... Yup I have the same process going on- probably the only downer - I have to grab another device and go thru Bluetooth settings to rediscover and hit the button on the unit - a bit frustrating. I'm still super happy with it for the price ! Hope that helps ..,. Ciao'
