Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Static or poor audio quality | Interference from other FM stations; frequency mismatch. | Find a completely blank FM frequency on your car radio and match the transmitter to it. Avoid frequencies near strong radio stations. |
| Low volume output | Transmitter volume or car radio volume is too low. | Increase the volume on both the FM transmitter and your car's radio. |
| Bluetooth not connecting | Device not in pairing mode; incorrect device selected; Bluetooth off on phone. | Ensure the transmitter is powered on. Re-enable Bluetooth on your phone and search for "SW-XC966". Forget previous pairings if necessary and try again. |
| Lights not turning off/on | Incorrect button press. | Long-press the 'b' button (Deep Bass/Light Switch) to toggle the rainbow light on or off. Note that the lights pulse with sound and cannot be set to a single static color. |
| Call quality issues (e.g., muffled sound for caller) | Environmental noise; microphone obstruction. | Ensure the dual microphones are not obstructed. The CVC 8.0 noise reduction should minimize most background noise. If issues persist, try a different car socket or position. |
| Incoming calls announce number instead of name | This is expected behavior for some units. | The device may announce the incoming phone number even if the contact is saved. This is a design characteristic and not a malfunction. |
