Is the button for bluetooth supposed to be recessed? Mine is, and nothing I do makes it turn "on."

its one of the frustrating features on this zagg keyboard which is one reason why this keyboard has not lived up to my expectations

I don't know if it is supposed to be...but mine is not. However, I CONSTANTLY have to re-pair it to my iPad Air..very frustating!

Mine is recessed, but you can push on it and it clicks like its working.... no light to indicate that it is working tho. Did you make changes in your tablet setting to recognize it?

I find that you have to hold the button a loooonnnnggggg time to get these phones turned on or off. I have accidentally dialed the phone way too many times. Just hold the button and be patient. As the others said, the bluetooth is "pairing." The flashing should stop after that is finished.

Well you have to hold the button to turn it off, however if you hold it too long, it will be in the mode that searches for blue tooth. Just hold it Til you hear the first noise and it will turn off

I had that happen once. Are you on Bluetooth or plugged into the jack? Try using that rocker switch (think it says + / -) as a volume control! It is probably turned all the way down. Was never sure how it happened on mine but once I realized it and turned it up, I liked the feature! Hope that helps.

Sounds like a defect.. barely pressing button should change modes while a firmer press should click and power off..sounds like a lil bit of bad luck. :(

hi-- yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

When I go into settings it says that my Bluetooth is on so I would say yes.

Turn on power push the bluetooth button for 10 seconds and if start blinking it searching for the device to be pair or to connect. If still the same problem the bluetooth speaker might be defective.

I just followed the directions . However when you press the button you should hold it in until it blinks. Go to Bluetooth on your phone and confirm the device. It should work, I haven't had any problems.

Kenneth, the button configuration is a little wonky. Definitely, could have been designed better! It takes a little magic. 1. Switch to "BT Music" using the mode button. 2. Next, press and hold the Mode button again till you see "BT pair." 3. Lastly, on BT Pair, press and hold mode again til the little LCD switches to "Pairing." At that point the device will be in discovery mode and will show up on your phone for pairing.

You have to toggle between Bluetooth and line in. There's a switch on the front.

Mine did the same thing in Bluetooth mode. I have been using it for 2 weeks now plugged directly in and it hasn't done it yet. I'm also working with Sharkk via emails to see if they have a solution. I hope they do because I love this little speaker!

When you press the power on button, you should see a blue light on the front. If not, the unit is either not charged or dead. Make sure when charging that all the plugs are in tight and in all the way. Then you need to connect using the included audio cable or pair with blue tooth. Follow the directions for pairing.

When that happened to me it was because I muted the Bluetooth. I seriously can't recall how to reverse the mute, so I usually just turn the Bluetooth off and turn it back on. It's a mild inconvenience but it works.

I have had this problem, on occasion. With mine I have just held on button for a couple of long seconds and then wait for another couple of long seconds and it comes on. Sometimes if I get impatient I push the on button repeatedly and nothing happens. That's not nearly as aggravating as having the sound only work when it wants to.
