7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Speaker does not power on. | Battery is low or depleted. | Charge the speaker using the Type-C cable or place it in direct sunlight. |
| No sound from the speaker. | Volume is too low; incorrect input mode; device not connected. | Increase volume; press 'M' to switch input mode; ensure Bluetooth/AUX connection. |
| Bluetooth device cannot pair. | Speaker not in pairing mode; device too far; interference. | Ensure speaker is on and flashing (pairing mode); move device closer (within 10m); restart both devices. |
| Poor FM radio reception. | Weak signal; no antenna. | Plug in the Type-C charging cable to act as an antenna; reposition the speaker. |
| TWS pairing fails. | Speakers already connected to another device; incorrect pairing steps. | Ensure both speakers are not connected to any phone; follow TWS pairing steps carefully (long press 'M' on one speaker). |
| Solar charging is slow or not working. | Insufficient sunlight; solar panel is dirty or obstructed. | Place in strong, direct sunlight; clean the solar panel. Note that charging is less efficient in cloudy conditions. |
