Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Pro Armor Sound Bar, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power / Unit does not turn on | Loose power connection, blown fuse, vehicle battery issue. | Check all power connections. Verify the vehicle's battery is charged. Inspect any inline fuses for the sound bar's power supply. |
| No sound output | Incorrect input selected, volume too low, device not paired (Bluetooth), faulty audio cable. | Ensure the correct input source (Bluetooth or 3.5mm AUX) is selected. Increase the volume on both the sound bar and your connected device. Re-pair Bluetooth if necessary. Test with a different audio cable. |
| Bluetooth pairing issues | Device too far, sound bar not in pairing mode, interference. | Ensure your device is within 10 meters of the sound bar. Put the sound bar into pairing mode. Turn off and on Bluetooth on your device. Clear previous Bluetooth connections on your device. |
| Muffled or distorted sound | Volume too high, poor audio source quality, damaged speakers. | Reduce the volume. Try a different audio source or file. If distortion persists at lower volumes, contact support. |
| Unit stopped working after exposure to moisture | Water damage (product is not water resistant). | As the product is not water resistant, water exposure can cause permanent damage. Disconnect power immediately and allow to dry completely. If issues persist, professional repair may be required, though water damage is typically not covered under warranty. |
