Can I connect the speaker to my iphone with a cord? I think my phone battery will die quickly using bluetooth.

Yes, this device comes with an optional 3.5mm cord, charger and usb connector.

You can use a cord as we'll, It actually comes with it. Although audio quality is way better with the blue-tooth connection.

Mine connected no problem to the iphone I have. I just followed the instructions that came with it. I could not get the speaker to charge though so I sent it back. I have an iphone 4s though. Not sure if that would make a difference or not. Maybe the speaker does not recognize the 5 for some reason.

There are two ways to hook up an iPhone. If you want to connect via Bluetooth, theses speakers DO NOT have a direct Bluetooth adapter. You must buy a Bluetooth gateway (which I did via Amazon) and it works perfectly with my Galaxy S5. The other method is to connect directly from the iPhone to the input jacks. Alas, I am not an iPhone user so I cannot advise you on how or whether an iPhone has direct outputs and an adapter for same.

It me again, I was able to set up the speaker with my daughter's iPhone5, easily done. Then I attempted to connect my laptop. It was discovered and connected but still would not play. Weird???? Hope you get some other responses

Yes you can, it has a built in slot for the iphone, and as far as hooking up your laptop to the speaker you will need a cable ( usb to xlr or rca or 1/4 inch ) to connect the speaker, its got 3 types of inputs in the back,, hope this helps.. Cheers

If you haven't try manually disconnecting your bluetooth connection to your phone -- both phone and media. That worked for me immediately when my blue light stayed on and I could not shut off the speaker. Otherwise, I was going to let the battery run out completely so that it would shut off.

You cannot just hook up an iphone to anything like this. You need a mixer and and amplifier or an amplifed mixer to actually run a PA system. THEN you need the correct interface to connect the iPhone to the mixer. Depending on the quality of the mixer, which will most certainly be of the Crap level if you are buying these speakers, you will need an 1/8" to rca adapter cable. Based on your question you are way out of your league, even with these cheap throw-away speakers.

You can connect it to any device that has a 1/8" stereo output jack. However I would not recommend this speaker as the battery stopped charging after just 3 months of use. It is not good quality.

Dear Sheila Briggs,This Panasonic speaker is only a speaker, so there is no connection to my iPhone when it is paired. When the phone rings, it does not come through the speaker and there is no microphone so you cannot use this as a speaker phone. I hope this helps and thank you for your question. Maren

I'm using it with an iPhone 4S and it works fine. It should be fine with the bluetooth. I love this speaker, btw, just remember to turn it off when you don't use it, otherwise you'll need to recharge sooner.

If it has an AV outlet anywhere on it (Like a port for headphones) it's powered by a USB chord, I just plug it into the adapter for my iphone. Love the speakers though, one of my coolest purchases ever!

I plug it into the receiver of my entertainment system and then I can use my iPhone to play music through that system via Bluetooth. So that my iPhone does not need to be physically plugged into the receiver via an aux. cord. So I can answer text messages and use my phone while still hearing music.

You need to have a device- iPad, phone, etc.- that is blue tooth ready. Once you do, then you just charge the speaker and turn it on. You play the music that is on your device. The speaker is just that, only a speaker not a holder of music.

Yes. You can charge the speaker with the USB cable into a computer or into the AC wall plug adaptor from your iPad or iPhone. This is a nice little speaker for certain uses or placements, but for stunning stereo sound we have the Bose Minilink.

I just plug mine into an AC outlet with the cord that was packaged with the speaker and the AC plug from my iPad. It works great!

It doesn't work with my iPod. When I use it with my iPhone I don't need to use a cord unless my battery is very low.
