Troubleshooting

Speaker not turning on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the speaker and a working AC outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Bluetooth pairing issues

Turn off Bluetooth on your device and then turn it back on. Restart the speaker by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Ensure the speaker is in pairing mode (indicated by a flashing LED) and that no other devices are actively connected.

No audio output

Verify that the correct audio source is selected if using wired connections. Check the volume levels on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure the device is properly paired via Bluetooth.

Choppy or distorted audio

Move your Bluetooth device closer to the speaker to improve signal strength. Reduce the number of active Bluetooth devices or wireless networks in the vicinity. Ensure your device supports aptX or aptX-HD for optimal performance.

Bass is weak

Ensure the speaker is placed on a stable surface and that the bass ports on the rear are not obstructed. Experiment with placement; positioning near a wall can sometimes enhance bass response.
