Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power adapter not connected or faulty. | Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into the speaker and a working power outlet. Check the power adapter for damage. |

| No sound | Volume too low, incorrect input, or speaker cable issue. | Increase volume on both the speaker and your connected device. Verify the speaker cable connection between active and passive speakers is correct and secure. |
