Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power indicator light | Incorrect power connection; faulty power supply | Check power supply voltage and polarity. Ensure connections are secure. Test with a different power supply if available. |
| No audio output | Volume too low; incorrect input selected; faulty audio cables; amplifier/speakers off | Increase volume. Ensure correct input (Bluetooth or LINE-IN) is active. Check audio cable connections. Verify amplifier/speakers are powered on and functioning. |
| Cannot pair via Bluetooth | Bluetooth not enabled on source device; ZK-PT1 not in pairing mode; too far from source | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Power cycle the ZK-PT1 to re-enter pairing mode. Move source device closer to the ZK-PT1. Ensure no LINE-IN signal is active. |
| Distorted audio | Volume too high; incorrect tone settings; faulty audio source | Reduce volume. Adjust Treble and Bass knobs to neutral positions. Test with a different audio source. |
