7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery. | Charge the device fully using the provided USB-C cable. |
| Cannot pair with Bluetooth device. | Device not in pairing mode; Bluetooth device too far; interference; previously paired device. | Ensure the Isobel device is in the correct TX/RX mode and flashing. Move closer to the Bluetooth device. Turn off other Bluetooth devices. Try resetting the Isobel device (short press RST button). |
| No sound or low volume. | Volume too low on device/source/receiver; incorrect cable connection; incorrect mode. | Adjust volume on all connected devices. Ensure 3.5mm cable is fully inserted and connected correctly. Verify the device is in the correct TX/RX/MP3 mode. |
| Audio delay/lag. | Bluetooth codec limitations; environmental interference. | While Bluetooth 5.4 offers improved stability, some delay can occur depending on the connected devices and environment. Ensure no strong interference sources are nearby. |
| TF card not playing. | Incorrect mode; unsupported file format; card not inserted correctly. | Ensure the device is in MP3 mode. Check if the TF card is inserted fully. Verify audio files are in a supported format (e.g., MP3). |
| Aux port seems too small for 3.5mm jack. | Possible manufacturing variance or user perception. | Ensure you are using a standard 3.5mm audio jack. Apply gentle, firm pressure to fully insert. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
