2. The speaker can be oriented either horizontally or vertically to allow flexibility with the placement:
   • horizontal orientation is recommended for a single speaker to provide the best audio quality and enable stereo sound
   • vertical orientation may be necessary for certain spaces; stereo playback is disabled in this orientation, however two speakers of the same type can be paired to create a stereo pair.
     
3. Plug one end of the provided power cable into the speaker. Only plug the other end into a power outlet when instructed by the Sonos Controller app during the setup process.

Location and usage guidelines

You can use your speaker just about anywhere. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• When the microphone is on, Roam tunes itself with automatic Trueplay™ for amazing sound no matter where you are and what you’re listening to.
• You can place Roam next to a wall or on a shelf—for best performance, leave at least 1″ (2.5 cm) space around the back of the speaker.
• Roam’s durable design includes silicone end caps to protect the speaker if it’s dropped or bumped.
• For optimal performance, avoid placing Roam in direct sunlight.
• Roam can be placed horizontally or vertically. When vertical, Roam takes up barely any room. Position it horizontally for added stability on uneven surfaces.

Waterproof design

Roam has an IP67 rating—it’s dustproof and waterproof and can be submerged 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. If Roam gets saturated with water, you can dry it off this way:

1. Flush Roam with tap water, then give it a quick shake.
2. Place the speaker vertically for a few seconds until it drains, then place it face down (logo side down) on a dry towel for a few minutes.
3. Start playing some audio to assist with drainage.
   Note: Don’t play audio when Roam is immersed in water.

Automatic Trueplay™

Auto Trueplay tuning optimizes the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to. Your speaker’s microphone is used to detect the environment so auto Trueplay can make periodic tuning adjustments to deliver the best sound.

When the microphone light is on,

• If you have a voice assistant, voice control is on and your voice assistant is ready to respond.
• Auto Trueplay tuning is enabled so Roam can automatically adjust its sound for your surroundings.

When the microphone light is off,

• If you have a voice assistant, voice control is off—your voice assistant is not listening.
• Automatic Trueplay tuning is disabled.

Bluetooth pairing

1. Turn Bluetooth on in your device settings.
2. Press and hold the power button on Roam for about 2 seconds until you hear the pairing tone (the second one), then release.

Select a location

You can put your speaker just about anywhere. Here are a few guidelines:

• The move is made to give you powerful sound anywhere—auto Trueplay tuning periodically balances the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to. The microphone has to be on for automatic tuning so if you don’t leave the microphone on all the time, turn it on for a few minutes whenever you move your speaker so it can automatically adjust the sound for your new surroundings.
• Move sounds great even when placed next to a wall or on a shelf. For best performance, leave at least 1″ (2.5 cm) space around the back of the speaker.
• It’s ultra-durable. With a tough outer shell and IP56 rating, Sonos Move is built to withstand falls, bumps, moisture, dust, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Just don’t leave it out in a soaking rainstorm, and remember that the charging base that’s included is for indoor use only.
• Don’t use or store your Sonos Move upside down.

Automatic Trueplay™

You can put Sonos Move just about anywhere. Auto Trueplay tuning optimizes the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to.

Your Sonos Move starts retuning when you pick it up, and continues to adjust the sound for a few minutes after you place it in a new location.
