5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Wireless Page Turner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery or power switch off. | Charge the device fully. Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position. |
| Cannot pair via Bluetooth. | Bluetooth not enabled on host device, device out of range, or interference. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Move the pedal closer to your device. Restart both devices and try pairing again. Ensure no other devices are actively connected to the pedal. |
| Pedals are unresponsive. | Not properly paired, application not compatible, or low battery. | Verify successful Bluetooth pairing. Check if the application you are using supports external page turners. Recharge the pedal. |
| Clicking sound from pedals is noticeable. | Normal mechanical sound of the foot switches. | This is a characteristic of the mechanical switches. If disruptive in quiet environments, consider using in settings with ambient noise or where the sound is less critical. |
| Looper functions not controlled. | Incompatible looper, incorrect connection, or looper not powered on. | Ensure your looper station is compatible with external foot pedals. Verify both the pedal and looper are powered on and linked. Consult your looper's manual for external control setup. |
