3. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Creative Pebble 2.0 speakers:

Positioning: Place the left and right speakers on your desk, ensuring they are positioned to direct sound towards your listening area. The 45-degree elevated drivers are designed for optimal sound projection when placed on a flat surface like a desk.
Power Connection: Connect the USB cable from the speakers to an available USB port on your computer or a 5V 2A USB power adapter (not included). The speakers draw power directly from this connection.
Audio Connection: Connect the 3.5mm audio jack from the speakers to the headphone output or audio line-out port on your computer, laptop, or other audio source.
Initial Volume Adjustment: Turn the front-facing volume knob on the right speaker to a low setting before playing audio.

4. Operating Instructions

Once connected, the Creative Pebble 2.0 speakers are ready for use. They are powered on automatically when connected to a live USB port.

Volume Control: Use the large rotary knob located on the front of the right speaker to adjust the volume. Turn clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
Audio Source: Ensure your computer's audio output is set to the correct device (e.g., "Speakers (Creative Pebble 2.0)").
Optimal Listening: For the best audio experience, ensure the speakers are facing you directly. The 45-degree elevated drivers are designed to project sound upwards, making them ideal for desktop use where speakers are typically placed below ear level.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Creative Pebble 2.0 speakers:

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the speakers. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Passive Radiators: The rear-facing passive radiators are delicate. Avoid pressing on them or poking holes in the rubber ring, as this can cause damage and affect sound performance. Keep fingers away from this area.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the speakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Creative Pebble 2.0 speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No sound or very low volume	Cables not properly connected. Speaker volume knob is too low. Computer's volume is muted or too low. Insufficient USB power.	Ensure both the USB power cable and 3.5mm audio cable are securely plugged into their respective ports. Turn the volume knob on the right speaker clockwise to increase volume. Check your computer's master volume and ensure it is not muted. If using a computer's USB port, try connecting the USB cable to a dedicated 5V 2A USB power adapter (e.g., a phone charger) for potentially higher volume output.
Distorted sound	Volume set too high. Poor audio source quality. Interference.	Reduce the volume on both the speakers and your computer. Test with a different audio source or file to rule out source issues. Ensure speakers are not placed too close to devices that may cause electromagnetic interference.
Only one speaker producing sound	Loose audio connection. Balance settings on computer.	Check the 3.5mm audio jack connection at both the speaker and the computer. Verify your computer's audio balance settings are centered.
