How can you tell if it's on or off? Mine does not seem to have an LED that shows if it's on. The blue light comes on when pairing, but that's it. Thx

I don't believe there is a light (weird) but when I turn it on, you can hear it. I still like mine for the price it gives a good sound!

Good luck. Mine never worked properly, and I sent it back. I got a Bose Mini, and it works great!

The blue led should always be blinking when paired. If it is not and the speaker is still working it may indicate that the unit is defective. If so, Bem will send a replacement after you contact them.

I've been using mines for a week now and I had the same problem when I turned mines on. I was under the impression that the blue battery light meant that it was dying too. I think that just means that the keyboard is on when it flashes on. I turned it on and off until my iPad found it. There may be more clear instructions in the owners manual though. Goodluck!

The "LED indicator" is just a little light under a tiny panel under the on/off switch. On mine, a blue light comes on when it needs a charge. When I plug it in, a little red light comes on. When it's done, it goes out. Here's the thing, though; the keyboard sleeps when not in use for a couple of minutes extending the battery life for so long that I have only charged mine twiceand one of those two times was when I first received it. The battery life is incredible.

On mine, I have to Turn on the Bluetooth, then press the pairing button...it will blink and then mine comes up with a message to type in like a 4 digit number and then the keyboard stays paired. Eve after it is turned off. Hope this helps.

When you depress the on/off button it will light the "BT" and "CAPS" LEDs. If you depress it turning it off, the "CAPS" light flashes twice. I often turn it on and just check my ipad is connected to Bluetooth. It automatically turns off when not in use after 10 minutes which may help you if you have left it for a period of time.

Verify bluetooth is enabled on your device (tablet/smartphone). This is what the instructions booklet has...Turn on the speaker, it goes into bluetooth mode automatically, the blue indicator flashes quickly (this is hard to see in normal lite room); The blue indicator flashes slowly after connection with one device. My iPhone saw the device but took a minute to connect. Let me know if you would like me to copy the booklet for you, would just need an email address if you want it. Later, AS

Knowing the Bluetooth is on if the white light indicator blinks at certain time interval, if it's off no light will blinks. For checking the status of battery, sorry I have no idea at all. All I experience if the battery getting lower usually I notice there is bloop sound.

It should come with possibly half battery right out of package and should be able to at least turn it on from side power button by holding down on it which will light up red numbers for station and blue w/ red lighting by volume knob for pairing. Also once connected should turn on. I would check that the light by usb connector lights up first to make sure you have power which will be a blue light. If that works and main device still not working while connected knowing it has power and pressing power button to turn it on it will be a defective part that is in bluetooth stereo device. Hope this helps.

Is your bluetooth on? Make sure you go to settings and turn it on. Did it come with a charger? It may need to be charged also.Mine had a on/off switch in top right corner on the side..i couldnt see it. Had to really look for it.

Did you try holding the bluetooth button til the led flashes.then pair it. You can also go to their website for help.

The same way you search for your Bluetooth. Wait for the blue and red blinking lights. I had to play with it for awhile. Hope I helped a little.

I never got one of this brand because they were out of stock and wound up getting the one from Poetic. It looks exactly the same - probably all from the same manufacturer with different branding. You have to be a little bit patient. Make sure you have pushed and held down for a few seconds the button to the right of the on/off switch on the keyboard after you have turned it on. Settings has to say it is "paired" not merely connected. When everything is working, the blue light on the keyboard does not flash; after pairing, wait until it stops flashing, then try it again. Hope this helps.

I've noticed mine does not start up very well. Twist the bulb as if removing and then reinstall. It won't start immediately. Also, the indicator is not an LED like it looks, just a lens to the inside. Turn of the lights or shield ambient light, it might be on, you just can see it.

I have it blue tooth to everything...when syncing it the bluetooth light HAS be flashing then sync, once its synced when you turn on the device it will pick it up automatically.
