Setting Up Your Sonos Roam
Before you start
• Turn on your Sonos Roam by pressing the button on the back or by plugging it in to power via
USB cable. Roam will show a blinking green light when it’s ready to be set up.
• Download the Sonos app for iOS or Android. The app will guide you through the set up
process.
Set up a new Sonos system with Roam
Open the Sonos app for iOS or Android.
Tap Set up a new system, then create or sign in to your Sonos account.
Tap Add on the popup showing your Sonos product.
Follow the steps in the app to set up your Roam and add your music services.
Add Move to your existing Sonos system
Open the Sonos app for iOS or Android.
From the Settings tab, tap System > Add Product.
Follow the steps in the app to connect Roam to your Sonos system.
You can switch your Roam over to Bluetooth mode at any time. See our article Pair Sonos Roam with Bluetooth for instructions on pairing your Roam to your Bluetooth devices.
Charging Your Sonos Roam
Some older USB phone chargers may not provide enough power to charge Roam’s battery. For the fastest charge, Sonos recommends charging Roam with a 5V/2A (10W) USB power adapter. While Roam is capable of charging with a 5V/1.5A (7.5W) USB power adapter, you may experience slower charging times.
Using a USB-C cable
A USB-C cable is included with Roam. Roam’s USB-C port is located below the button on the back of the product. When charging, ensure that the USB-C cable is fully inserted into your Roam and power source. Roam will charge from 0% to 50% in about one hour
when using a USB-C cable.
Using the Sonos Wireless Charger
You can charge your Roam wirelessly using the Sonos Wireless Charger accessory. When the Wireless Charger is plugged in, place Roam so it is standing vertically on top of the charger to begin charging. Roam will charge from 0% to 50% in about two hours
when using the Sonos Wireless Charger.
Roam’s battery light
The battery light on the front of Roam will flash orange when Roam is low on battery (15% charge or less).
When connected to power, Roam will display a solid orange light to indicate that it’s charging.
After about 10 seconds, the light will turn off but Roam will continue to charge.
If the battery is depleted or has a very low charge, the orange light will stay on longer than 10 seconds until Roam has enough charge to turn on. This charging time will vary based on the power adapter Roam is using and how depleted the battery is. Once the battery light turns off,Roam may still require additional charging before it can be used on battery power.
Roam’s battery life
Roam’s 18WH battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. Pausing,
volume level, Bluetooth, heat exposure, and other factors will cause battery life to fluctuate.
Insufficient power supply message
If Roam is connected to a charger that is not supplying enough power, the Sonos app will show an Insufficient power supply message in the System tab and in the System settings menu.This usually happens if Roam is connected to a common 5V/1A (5W) phone charger.
If you see this message, connect Roam to a 5V/2A (10W) USB power adapter instead.
Check Roam’s battery level
To view Roam’s battery level, open the Sonos app and find your Roam in the System tab. The battery’s charge level is displayed as a percentage next to the battery icon. A charge symbol is added to the battery indicator when Roam is connected to power to show that it is charging.
Creating a stereo pair
Sonos speakers of the same model can be bonded together as a single room in the Sonos app, providing a wider stereo experience. This article will show you how to create a stereo pair with your speakers.

User Guide
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:
Flush Roam with tap water, then give it a quick shake.
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.
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.
Microphone on/off
The microphone is used for voice control, and for automatic Trueplay tuning. Press ALL_mic00010.png to turn the microphone on or off—the microphone LED light will let you know when your voice assistant is listening.

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.
Auto Trueplay tuning is disabled.
Bluetooth pairing
Turn Bluetooth on in your device settings.
Press and hold the power button on Roam for about 2 seconds until you hear the pairing tone (the second one), then release.
The status light blinks blue and Roam is ready to pair.
