6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Speaker does not power on. | Low battery. | Charge the speaker using the provided USB Type-C cable. |
| Cannot pair via Bluetooth. | Speaker is not in pairing mode or already connected to another device. | Ensure the speaker is in Bluetooth pairing mode (flashing indicator). Disconnect from any other device. Ensure your device's Bluetooth is on and visible. |
| No sound or low volume. | Volume too low on speaker or connected device; incorrect input mode. | Increase volume on both the speaker and your connected device. Verify the correct input mode (Bluetooth, AUX, etc.) is selected. |
| TWS pairing fails. | Speakers are too far apart or already connected to other devices. | Ensure both speakers are within close proximity and not connected to any other Bluetooth devices before initiating TWS pairing. |
| Battery life is shorter than expected. | High volume usage; streaming wirelessly. | Playing audio at higher volumes consumes more power. Streaming music wirelessly typically consumes more power than playing from a connected device via an AUX cable. |
