Maintenance and Care

• Keep the protective rubber flap covering the charging and auxiliary ports securely closed when not in use, especially in wet environments, to maintain the IPX7 waterproof rating.
• Clean the speaker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Avoid exposing the speaker to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) for prolonged periods.
• Store the speaker in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Speaker not turning on:

• Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the speaker to a power source using the Micro USB cable.
• Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds.

Unable to pair via Bluetooth:

• Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (flashing blue LED).
• Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and within range (up to 10 meters).
• Forget "JBL Clip 3" from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.
• Turn off and on both the speaker and your device.

No sound or low volume:

• Check the volume levels on both the speaker and your connected device.
• Ensure the speaker is properly paired via Bluetooth or connected via the 3.5mm audio cable.
• If using the 3.5mm audio cable, ensure it is fully inserted into both the speaker and the audio source.

Water damage concerns:

• Always ensure the protective rubber flap is securely closed when the speaker is exposed to water. The IPX7 rating protects against immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Prolonged exposure or deeper immersion may cause damage.
