4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Dell AX210 speakers, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the speaker surfaces. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish or internal components.

• Cable Care: Handle cables gently. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the internal wiring.

  • If headphones are plugged into the speaker's jack, remove them to enable speaker output.
• Distorted Sound:
  • Lower the volume on both the speakers and your computer.
  • Ensure the audio source (e.g., music player, video) is not itself producing distorted sound.
• Speakers Not Detected:
