Troubleshooting

Speaker will not turn on.

Ensure the speaker is charged. Connect a USB-C cable (not included) to a power source and the speaker. Check if the charging indicator lights up. If the issue persists, try a different USB cable and power adapter.

Cannot connect to Bluetooth.

Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (indicator light flashing). Turn off and on Bluetooth on your source device and try again. If already connected to another device, disconnect it and try pairing with the new device. Reset the speaker by holding the power button for 10 seconds.

Sound is distorted or low volume.

Check the volume level on both the speaker and the connected source device. Ensure the speaker is not in a dusty or blocked environment. Try clearing any obstructions near the speaker grille. If paired, try disconnecting and reconnecting.

Playtime is shorter than expected.

Ensure the speaker is fully charged. Lower the volume or reduce the usage of ambient lighting, as these can impact battery life. The advertised playtime is an estimate and can vary based on usage patterns and volume.

Ambient lighting is not working.

Check if the lighting feature is enabled via the controls on the speaker. Ensure the speaker has sufficient battery power. If the issue persists, perform a reset by holding the power button for 10 seconds.
