5.2 Reinigung

Reinigen Sie den Lautsprecher mit einem weichenamp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or rubberized coating.

If the speaker becomes unresponsive or experiences connectivity issues, locate the small 'RESET' pinhole button behind the side waterproof door. Use a thin object (like a paperclip) to gently press and hold the reset button for a few seconds. This will restart the speaker without losing pairing information.

6. Fehlerbehebung

• Kein Strom: Ensure the speaker is charged. Connect it to a power source using the Micro USB cable. Check the 'ON/ECO/OFF' switch is in the 'ON' or 'ECO' position.
• Kopplung via Bluetooth nicht möglich: Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (flashing Bluetooth indicator). Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and within range. Try turning both devices off and on again. If issues persist, perform a reset on the speaker.
• Schlechte Klangqualität/Verzerrungen: Reduce the volume on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure there are no obstructions between the speaker and the Bluetooth device. If using Aux-in, check the cable connection.
• Speaker Not Waterproof: Verify that the side protective door is fully closed and sealed. Any gap will compromise its waterproof capabilities.
