unknown bluetooth connections

Hi,

I listen to music through wifi/spotify on my Marshall Acton. The past few weeks I notice occasionally that it will turn on and play randomly. This sometimes happens very early or late at night at very loud volumes to the point where I've had to unplug the speaker when I'm asleep. I've now debugged the issue to an unknown bluetooth device connecting. I can see it is some kind of DESKTOP device (which I don't own); I see it pop up occasionally on the ios app as connected. 

It must be a neighbor in my apartment complex either doing this on accident or pranking me (doesn't really matter). But I can't seem to stop it. I don't use bluetooth and have never connected to the speaker via bluetooth. Can I disable bluetooth or somehow reset it to stop the unknown device from connecting? I love the speaker otherwise but it's a huge hassle to have this issue. 

Thanks!

Hi Tyler,

Thank you for your message, you can only connect to the Actons bluetooth if it is selected on the unit, if you have selected input then no one will be able to connect via bluetooth.

Thanks for the reply. I'm guessing they must have accidentally paired at one point while I was initially exploring the speaker options. I reset the device per the instructions here:

I'll try it out for a few days and see what happens. Thanks!
