|---|
| + | '''Bluetooth is not activated on your device.''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | Your device may not have bluetooth activated. With it not activated, it makes it impossible for you to find the speaker in the available connections section. On your device, turn on the bluetooth option. This option is usually found under the settings section of the device, typically in the same section as wifi. |

|---|
| + | |

| + | == Speaker malfunction or complete Failure == |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | ''I want to use my speaker but the sound is not/is barely working. '' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | '''Speaker has become disconnected. ''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | Your device cannot emit sound if a speaker (or both speakers) have been disconnected. This is usually the effect of the speaker being thrown, dropped or physically harmed in other ways. In order to fix this you will have to manually reconnect them yourself. |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | '''Speaker(s) have blown out.''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | Unfortunately, every device has its limits. Your speaker may not be making any sounds, sounds that are drowned by static or white noise, or it may be making very fuzzy sounds. This is usually because a speaker (or both speakers) has blown out. The only fix to this is to buy replacement speakers and manually reinstall them into the unit |

| + | == Touch screen issues. == |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | ''I want to use my speaker’s buttons, but the touchscreen is unresponsive. '' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | '''Touch screen has debris on it. ''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | Touch screens on any device are extremely sensitive. They read for any object that has an electric charge, including human skin. The touch screens responsiveness is dependant on how clean it may be. If you have any type of residue on your touch screen, then you need to clean it with a soft, lightly damp cloth. |

| + | |
|---|
| + | '''Your finger has residue on it.''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | The touch screens response capabilities also rely on the user’s appendages being clean. If your finger has any type of food, dust or any other foreign material on it, then the screen will not respond. You have to clean off any appendage you are trying to use the touch screen with. |

| + | |
|---|
| + | '''Touch Screen is defective.''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | The touch screen on your device may become defective over time due to heavy use. First, check to see if there is any electrical disconnections on the circuit board that lead to the touch screen. If there are no disconnections, then a replacement touch screen must be ordered and replaced. |

|---|
| + | == Errors with wifi connections. == |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | ''I want to connect my devices via wifi but it isn’t working.'' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | '''Your wifi option is not enabled on your unit.''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | Your speaker has the capability to turn the wifi capability on and off when you’re not using it. Having no wifi capability on will make it impossible to connect to your internet. The button is found next to the bluetooth button on the top face of your unit. |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | '''Your wifi is not on. ''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | In order for your device to connect to the wifi, you have to have a working wifi connection available. Make sure your modem and/or router is turned on and currently emitting a wifi connection. If your unit, modem and/or router are all connected and you still cannot connect, you may have to contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) for further information. |

| + | == Antenna broke off from unit. == |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | ''I want to use my AM/FM radio but my antenna snapped off of my unit. '' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | '''Your antenna has become detached.''' |
|---|
| + | |
|---|
| + | The antenna breaking off from your unit can be caused by the unit being thrown, dropped, or physically harmed in any other way. The only workaround for this is to acquire a new antenna and manually install it yourself. |
