Troubleshooting
Speaker won't turn on
Ensure the speaker is charged. Connect it to a power source using the USB-C cable and try again. If the issue persists, try a different USB-C cable and power adapter.
Cannot connect via Bluetooth
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the speaker is within range. Turn off and on Bluetooth on your device, or restart the speaker. If the speaker is already paired with another device, disconnect it and try pairing again. You may need to 'forget' the speaker in your device's Bluetooth settings and re-pair.
Poor sound quality or low volume
Check the volume level on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure the speaker is not obstructed and is positioned optimally (try different orientations). Update the speaker's firmware via the Bose Connect app if available.
Speaker suddenly powers off
This may indicate the battery is low. Charge the speaker fully. If it continues to power off unexpectedly, contact Bose support.
Microphone not working for calls
Ensure the speaker has been granted microphone permissions by your phone or device. Restart the speaker and your device. Check that no other app is actively using the microphone.
