Elecstars Bluetooth Shower Speaker
I'm trying to get my Elecstars Bluetooth Shower Speaker to work, but it's just as useless as tits on a bull.
First off, here's an idea: put the owner's/user manual online somewhere. It does not exist or, if it does, I can't find it using Google.
I have been able to determine the following:
a) You can charge the thing using some type of cable. I dug around until I found a cable that fit it, and managed to charge it up.
b) You're supposed to be able to connect it to your iphone via Bluetooth, but it's very important that you not have access to the owner's manual that explains how to do this, so the owner's manual is not available on the internet. This is very important, obviously.
So, on my iPhone, I go to Settings - Bluetooth, and make sure the Bluetooth is turned on.
I turn on the Elecstars thing, and push the center button. It has a flashing blue light. and says "Bluetooth Pal".

But I'm not ever able to pair it with my iPhone, for whatever reason. What a P.O.S.
I searched the Apple Store to see if there's an app I'm supposed to download for this P.O.S., but there's not one. There's no App for an Elecstars Bluetooth Shower Speaker.
Argh.
OK. I was able to make the light flash Blue (instead of Red), but I'm not sure how.
She says you have to put the Elecstars in the "pairing mode". I think the flashing blue light means it's in the "pairing mode".
OK. She says you have to go to your phone, and hit search...find the Shower Speaker...Hit Sync...and it should say "connected".
But, I could never get the P.O.S. to work. Well done, Elecstars. You hid your user manual well, and made a P.O.S. product that doesn't work. Congrats.
