Maintenance

Cleaning

• To clean the speaker, use a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the speaker's finish or waterproof seals.
• Ensure the charging port is dry before charging after exposure to water.

Storage

• Store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% to prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Speaker Not Charging

• Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the speaker and the power adapter.
• Verify that the power adapter is functioning correctly and plugged into a live outlet.
• Check the USB-C port on the speaker for any debris or damage.
• Try using a different USB-C cable or power adapter.

Bluetooth Pairing Issues

• Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (flashing LED).
• Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and within range (up to 10 meters).
• Forget 'SKDY Kilo' from your device's Bluetooth settings and attempt to pair again.
• If pairing two speakers for TWS, ensure both are disconnected from other devices before initiating TWS pairing.

Sound Quality Issues

• Check the volume levels on both the speaker and your connected device.
• Ensure there are no obstructions between the speaker and your device that could interfere with the Bluetooth signal.
• Move closer to your device to rule out range issues.
