Sonos Ace button controls

This button is used to power your Sonos Ace on or off as well as put it into Bluetooth pairing mode.

• Long press - Power Sonos Ace on or off. Release the button when the status light turns on or off, or when you hear the headphones play a power on / power off tone.
• Press and continue holding - Put Sonos Ace into Bluetooth pairing mode. Release the button when the status light begins flashing blue. If already powered on, Sonos Ace will first power off and then power on again before entering pairing mode.
• Press and hold for 10 seconds - Perform a forced reboot.

The Content Key is used to adjust volume, skip songs, and answer phone calls.

If you’ve set up TV Audio Swap with your Sonos Ace, you can also use the Content Key to quickly swap TV audio to your headphones.

• Slide up or down - Adjust the volume.

¹On iOS, you can adjust your iPhone’s settings to route all calls to a Bluetooth device. This means that when you answer a phone call using your phone instead of the Content Key, the call will still go to your Sonos Ace. Learn more in Apple’s guide on routing and answering calls on iPhone.
