Sometimes the Bluetooth feature of the speaker will not work if the battery is low in power. If this is the culprit then all you need to do to fix this is to charge the speaker.

  • Insert the micro USB charging cord  into the charging port of the speaker.
  • Insert the other end of the  charging cord to a USB wall charger with an output of at least 1.0A.
  • Connect the wall charger to a power outlet.

Leave this charging for at least 2.5 hours then check if the issue still occurs.

Method 4: Device is not in range

To ensure the best listening experience using this Bluetooth speaker, the device it is connecting to should not be more than 100 feet away. This range will decrease if there are a lot of obstructions or signal interferences such as walls or radios between both devices.

Try placing the speaker and the device it is connecting to side by side then check if the problem still occurs.
