4. Charging External Devices

You can charge a smartphone or tablet by connecting it to the speaker's USB port (1.5A output) using a compatible USB cable (not supplied). The speaker must be powered on or connected to AC power to provide charging.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Wipe the speaker's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or alcohol, as these can damage the finish. Avoid getting moisture into any openings.

2. Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If the speaker will not be used for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50% every six months to prevent over-discharge.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the speaker is charged or connected to AC power. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds.
• No Sound: Check the volume levels on both the speaker and the connected device. Ensure the correct input source (Bluetooth, AUDIO IN) is selected.
• Bluetooth Pairing Issues: Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (Bluetooth indicator flashing rapidly). Delete "SRSX55" from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again. Ensure your device is within 10 meters of the speaker.
• Poor Sound Quality: Move the speaker closer to the connected device to reduce interference. Avoid placing the speaker near metal objects or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
