Troubleshooting

If the unit is not charging: Make sure the micro-USB cable is properly connected to the

power input, the power adapter and the power outlet.

If the sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source.

If there is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower

the bass level. This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs.

If you cannot connect your audio device to Bright MaxTM Plus via Bluetooth:

• Have your audio device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) and Bright MaxTM Plus as close

together as possible while trying to connect. Make sure both the audio device and Bright

MaxTM Plus are unobstructed by walls, furniture, etc.

• Reset the Bluetooth connection on Bright MaxTM Plus to disconnect Bright MaxTM Plus

from any other audio device and restart the search process. If this does not work right

away, power off Bright MaxTM Plus and then power it back on. See Bluetooth

Connecting with Bright MaxTM Plus for more information.

• Reset the Bluetooth connection on your audio device by turning Bluetooth off and back

on. You can find this under the Bluetooth menu in the Settings for your phone or other

audio device.

If this does not work, and you have connected to Bright MaxTM Plus before, find Bright

MaxTM Plus in the list of available or previously connected devices in your audio device's

Bluetooth menu, tap the "gear" or “i” icon located next to it and then select Unpair or

Forget. Turn Bright MaxTM Plus off and back on and try pairing again once it reappears in

your available devices list.

Note: If Bright MaxTM Plus has been paired to another audio device recently that is still

within range, you may need to repeat this process with that audio device to fully

disconnect.

If you experience audio dropouts while playing music from a Bluetooth device, this may

be happening because your unit is trying to link to another speaker. This can occur if you

power off a speaker that was linked to your unit or if you have just turned on your unit and it is

in Multi-SyncTM mode. To stop the audio dropouts, exit Multi-SyncTM mode by double-pressing

the Link button. Alternatively, you can wait for your unit to link to another Bright MaxTM Plus

speaker if there is one within range.
