Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Carpool Karaoke The Mic 1.0, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the microphone with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the microphone in its reusable carrying case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Carpool Karaoke The Mic 1.0, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Sound from Microphone:
  • Ensure the microphone is powered on and fully charged.
  • Verify that the mic volume is turned up on the microphone.
  • Check that your car's radio is tuned to the correct FM frequency and its volume is sufficiently high.
  • If using Bluetooth, ensure your mobile device is correctly paired to "Carpool KARAOKE" and not to your car's native Bluetooth system. Disconnect from the car's Bluetooth if necessary.
  • Try connecting via the Aux cord if you experience persistent audio delays or low volume, as some car audio systems may have enhanced audio processing that can cause issues with FM transmission.
• Bluetooth Pairing Issues:
  • Make sure the microphone is in pairing mode (usually indicated by a flashing Bluetooth light).
  • Forget "Carpool KARAOKE" from your device's Bluetooth settings and attempt to pair again.
  • Ensure no other devices are currently connected to the microphone.
• Static or Interference:
  • Find a clearer, unused FM station in your area.
  • Ensure the microphone's FM frequency matches your car radio exactly.
