SETTING UP THE SO-3000 ON A NETWORK
1.
Make sure the device you want to connect (smartphone, tablet, etc.) is connected to a Wi-Fi network. The same
Wi-Fi network will also be used for pairing the SO-3000 with the Google Home app.
2.
Make sure that Bluetooth is also enabled on your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.). During the set-up process
the Google Home app will access your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) using Bluetooth.
3.
With the SO-3000 in Standby Mode, open the Google Home app
and select the Devices icon
A new
screen will open showing available devices and the SO-3000 will appear as “SolisSO
XXXX
”, and will show as
“Needs Setup.”
Note:
The "
XXXX
" is the last 4 digits of speakers MAC address. If you have more than one SO-3000 within range, the
XXXX
lets you connect to the appropriate speaker. The MAC address is located on the back of the unit.
IMPORTANT:
It may take up to a minute for the SO-3000 to appear as an available device in the Google Home
window, so do not select “Add New Device” in the app.
4.
Follow the instructions in the Google Home app to complete the setup. The setup process may take several
minutes. It’s normal for the MODE LED indicator on the SO-3000 to change colors or turn off for several
seconds during the set-up process.
5.
After the setup is complete, the MODE LED Indicator will be solid Green indicating the speaker is ready to cast.
Refer to the “Using Chromecast built-in” section below for instructions on how to use Chromecast built-in.
Note: If you are setting up multiple speakers in the Google Home app, make sure the other speakers are turned off
when setting up a new speaker.
USING CHROMECAST BUILT-IN
The SO-3000 comes with Chromecast built-in. It lets you stream your favorite music from your phone, tablet or laptop
right to your speakers. Easily control the SO-3000 with apps you already know and love from your iPhone, iPad,
Android phone or tablet, Mac or Windows laptop, or Chromebook.

Consult the Google Home app for a list of apps that are Chromecast-enabled.
2.
Audio will stream from the Chromecast-enabled app to SO-3000 over your home Wi-Fi network. The MODE
LED Indicator is lit solid Green to indicate the unit is in Wi-Fi mode. When audio is streaming, the MODE LED

Use the BUTTON to increase the volume.
4.
Use the VOLUME – BUTTON to decrease the volume.
STREAMING TO MULTIPLE SPEAKERS WITH CHROMECAST BUILT-IN

the group.

The group will appear as an available connection when the Cast icon is tapped in Chromecast-enabled apps.

Access the speaker group in the Google Home app to control play/pause or control the volume (if available in
supported apps) of each speaker.
