5. Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the speaker, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning sprays. Avoid getting moisture into any openings.
Water and Dust Resistance
The SoundLink Revolve+ II has an IP55 rating, meaning it is resistant to water splashes and dust. While it can withstand splashes by the pool or light rain, it is not designed to be submerged in water. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed when exposed to moisture.
Storage
Store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged to maintain its health.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your speaker, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Power: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the speaker to a power source and allow it to charge for a few minutes before attempting to power on.
- Cannot Pair Bluetooth: Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (blinking blue Bluetooth indicator). Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that the speaker is within range (up to 9 meters or 30 feet). Try turning Bluetooth off and on again on your device.
- No Sound: Check the volume levels on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure the correct audio source is selected on your device. If using an auxiliary cable, ensure it is fully inserted into both the speaker and the audio source.
- Poor Sound Quality: Move the speaker closer to your Bluetooth device to reduce interference. Avoid placing the speaker near metal objects or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
- Speaker Not Responding: Perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the Power button for about 10 seconds until the speaker powers off. Then, power it back on.
