7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Device does not power on:
  • Ensure the device is properly connected to a power source using the TYPE C cable.
  • Check if the power adapter is working and the outlet has power.
  • If using battery power, ensure the battery is charged.
• No sound from speaker:
  • Check the volume level on both the speaker and your connected device.
  • Ensure the speaker is in the correct mode (Bluetooth, FM, TF, AUX).
  • If using Bluetooth, ensure the device is properly paired.
  • If using AUX-in, ensure the audio cable is fully inserted and functional.
• Bluetooth not connecting:
  • Ensure the speaker is in Bluetooth pairing mode.
  • Make sure your mobile device's Bluetooth is enabled and within range (up to 10 meters).
  • Try unpairing and re-pairing the device.
  • Restart both the speaker and your mobile device.
• Wireless charging not working:
  • Ensure the speaker is connected to a DC5V 3A power supply. Wireless charging requires external power.
  • Verify your phone is Qi-compatible.
  • Ensure your phone is correctly centered on the charging pad.
  • Remove any thick phone cases that might interfere with charging.
• FM Radio reception is poor:
  • Try repositioning the speaker to improve signal reception.
  • Ensure no other electronic devices are causing interference.
• How does it work without a charger?
  • The speaker has a built-in 1800mAh battery, allowing it to function as a portable Bluetooth speaker, alarm clock, and FM radio for approximately 6 hours on medium volume without being plugged in. However, wireless charging and USB output for external devices require the speaker to be connected to its power supply.

8. User Tips

• Optimal Wireless Charging: For best results, ensure your phone is placed directly in the center of the wireless charging pad. Some phone cases may hinder charging efficiency.
• Battery Life Extension: While the device has a built-in battery, keeping it plugged in when using wireless charging or USB output will prevent battery drain and ensure consistent power delivery.
• Alarm Volume: Test your alarm volume before relying on it. The speaker's volume control may affect the alarm sound level.
• FM Radio Reception: If you experience poor FM reception, try moving the speaker closer to a window or away from large metal objects.
