8. Troubleshooting

Q: What should I do if I can't turn on the speaker?

A: After receiving the speaker, please charge it first. It should then turn on normally. Ensure the power button is pressed and held sufficiently.

Q: What should I do if I can't charge the battery?

A: Sometimes the battery may be in a waiting state due to low temperature or other conditions. Usually, after continuous charging for 1 hour, the charging status will return to normal. Ensure the charging cable and adapter are working correctly.

Q: What should I do if the sound cannot be output?

A: This is often a formatting issue when playing music from a TF card or USB drive. Please adjust the music format to MP3. Also, check the volume levels on both the speaker and the connected device.

Q: What should I do if I can't connect or pair with Bluetooth?

A: First, disconnect any other Bluetooth devices from your phone or source device. Then, search for devices again and attempt to connect to "ZEALOT-PT21". Ensure the speaker is in Bluetooth pairing mode.

Q: What should I do if there is no sound after Bluetooth connection?

A: Check if both the speaker volume and phone volume are not set to the lowest level. If volume is not the issue, verify that music is actively playing on your phone or connected device.

Q: What should I do if I can't adjust the volume?

A: Check if the volume on the speaker is already at its maximum. If both the phone and speaker are at their maximum volume, further adjustment upwards is not possible. Ensure the volume controls are not stuck or damaged.

Q: What should I do if my SD card is not recognized?

A: This is usually a format issue with the storage card. The storage card needs to be formatted to FAT32, and music files should typically be in MP3 format for proper recognition.

Q: How to connect to a TV?

A: The speaker can usually be connected to a TV through an AUX data cable (3.5mm audio cable).

Q: How to set the standalone working mode?

A: The speaker typically operates in the mode you select (e.g., Bluetooth, TF Card, USB, AUX). If the current mode cannot read music continuously (e.g., a corrupted file on TF card), it may automatically switch to a mode that can be used normally. Use the 'M' (Mode) button to manually switch between modes.

9. User Tips

• Optimal Charging: For the fastest charging, use a USB PD compatible charger with at least 15W, ideally up to 45W.
• Audio File Compatibility: When using TF cards or USB drives, ensure your music files are in MP3 format and the storage device is formatted to FAT32 for best compatibility.
• Trouble-Free Bluetooth: If you experience issues connecting via Bluetooth, temporarily disable Bluetooth on other nearby devices to prevent interference.
• Immersive Sound: Utilize the multi-speaker pairing (TWS) feature with additional PT21 speakers for a truly immersive, cinema-grade surround sound experience at parties or gatherings.
• Outdoor Use: The speaker is waterproof, making it suitable for outdoor use like camping. Remember to keep ports covered when not in use to maintain water resistance.
