Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your KOVE Commuter 2 speaker, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Cannot pair via Bluetooth | Speaker not in pairing mode; device Bluetooth off; interference | Ensure speaker is in pairing mode. Turn device Bluetooth off and on. Move closer to the speaker. |
